This is unlike my past video mod which used bbcode, this one is more simple and works much better for the user too. What it does it parses the url when the post is viewed, so it will work with past links and new links.
So basically the user enters a video link in a post and its automaticly displayed as the actual embedded video.

Of the video sites already loaded onto PassiveVid, do any of them allow porn or fighting or anything else one might not want on a "G-Rated" forum? I ask cuz I only recognize about four of those sites!
EDIT: I just noticed a bit of a problem. I was creating a "how-to" thread on this new hack and I wanted to post a sample URL like this...
Code:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpWtq-haaCQ
But with the CODE wraps it doesn't show the URL text, it actually embeds the video in a tiny lil box! Kinda weird!
The other thing that happens is any text added after the URL wrapped in the [code] wraps, disappears! I created a test post here.
This text, "Trying to use [code] wraps around URL." is actually typed in after the closing /CODE but as you can see, it's not showing up!
I'm having trouble now limiting the videos to just these two sections on the forum...
Code:
http://www.pc101.com/forum/f146/ - Video Tutorials
http://www.pc101.com/forum/f147/ - Fun videos
There's a place in the hack where you are supposed to put the number of the forum you'll allow videos and then those become the ONLY areas where the hack will work. Well... I put in f146,f147 and then tried 146,147 but I'm still able to post videos in all areas of the forum. Please advise.
