Embed Break.com Videos - BBCode · **Released**: 04-18-2007

XHTML 1.1 Transitional valid
Tested on VB 3.6.5

I had a few users requesting the ability to embed videos from Break.com in their posts, so this is what I came up with.

Keep in mind that this is not user friendly. You'll see why in a minute.

Because of the URL structure that Break.com uses, it's not a simple task to find the code that you'll need to use. Here is what your users will have to do to embed a video:

If you find a video on Break.com that you'd like to embed, click on the "Embed & Blog" button. You'll be presented with the html code to embed the video on a web site. That code will look something like this, and the important part is in bold.

Code:

<object width="425" height="350">
<param name="movie" value="http://embed.break.com/MjU3ODkx"></param>
<embed src="http://embed.break.com/MjU3ODkx" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br><font size=1><a href="http://www.break.com/index/cruise_ship_caught_in_cyclone.html">Cruise Ship Caught In Cyclone</a> - <a href="http://www.break.com/">Click Here for more great videos and pictures!</a></font>

Sample:

[break]MjU3ODkx[/break]

On to the BBCode:

Title: Break.com Video

Tag: break

Replacement:

HTML Code:

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="400" style="margin:10px 0">
<thead>
	<tr>
		<td class="tcat" colspan="2" style="text-align:center">
			<a href="http://break.com" title="Break.com" target="_blank">Break.com Video</a>
		</td>
	</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td class="panelsurround" align="center">
			<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350" data="http://embed.break.com/{param}">
<param name="movie" value="http://embed.break.com/{param}" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object>
		</td>
	</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Example: [break]MjU3ODkx[/break] (or choose another video that you'd like to use)

Use {option}: No

This is my first contribution to vB.org, so take it easy on me if I've done anything wrong. If anyone has a button image to use, please post it. If anyone has any suggestions or improvements, feel free to contribute.

Nice hack. Wish they all used the same format for serving their videos. Would make it so much easier.

Do you have a button image for this? So hard to remind users of tags

Glad to hear other people are interested. I just wish that I could think of a more user friendly method...

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
