This mod will enable your users to publish YouTube or Google videos on your forum. It's managable via the adminpanel and the script will automaticly download the titles of the videos from YouTube or Google Video and store it in the database so it will get the videos indexed verry well and it's fast.
Some of the features:
Custom tagnames, manageable from the adminpanel
Automatic Video Title retrieval, with optional support for Lib Curl and user-simulated video title retrieval
Custom editor icons, managable from the adminpanel
Template based Google or YouTube video output
Support for local Google Video servers, to make your site local
Phrases for all text so it has support for multi-lingual forums
Optional, extend all links within the video with rel="nofollow", customizable seperately for YouTube or Google Video
Custom Video titles via tag option ([googlevideo="Video Title"]...[/googlevideo])
Ability to configure usergroups that have access to delete videos.
Instalation:
Import the XML product
Upload the attached icon images (or use your own)
Default is:
/images/editor/google.gif
/images/editor/youtube.gif
Open htaccess.txt, configure it (replace yourdomain with your domain), save it as .htaccess and upload it to the root of your forum
Run the included installer
The installer will also upgrade previous instalations
Bug: when you run the installer more then once, multiple of the same indexes are created. I haven't found a way yet to prevent this. I have posted some messages on MySQL forums to find an answere and will then upgrade the installer. For now it is adviced to run the installer just once and for upgrades it is adviced to check the PREFIXseovideos table after upgrading to see if there are any duplicate indexes configured to remove them if needed.
To install the Videobar anywhere on the forum use the folowing code:
PHP Code:
<!-- SEO Videos Index Bar -->
Done.
Have Fun!

Thanks Redlabour. Sorry for the stupid question ;(. I was looking all over for the Seo Config in the admincp and didn't realize that it's burried in the main vB Options!
I was able to post both Google and YouTube video from my forum. However, when I tried to reply to a google video post, I got these errors:

Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /includes/class_bbcode.php(166) : eval()'d code on line 65

If I reply to a YouTube post, I don't get any error!
I am running vb 3.6.0. You can check out the sample post at:
1. CMPS module which can display multiple videos.
2. Your own player instead of using the Google & YouTube players (similar to AnyMedia but working) compatible with both IE & FF and autostart on/off option.
3. Allow videos from other sites such as .wmv extensions (similar to AnyMedia).
