Mini Mods - Auto Youtube Link-Converter

So basically this is a total easy-to-implement plugin, which converts standard youtube links to video-embeds on the fly without urging users to use the video-button because I think it is unnecessary.


On post display, the plugin checks if the post contains at least 1 youtube link in the form of

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=somecode&some=params">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=somecode&some=params</a>

and converts them using the default vB video bbcode parser.

Code can be modified to fit your needs, altough there shouldn't be much to add.
If you're the special performance-freak, I'm curious if you can enhance data/query-performance. So let me know if you do.

INSTALL:

- Download attached XML File and import it as an addon.

Changes since 1.3:
- Now works properly on iPad

Changes since 1.2:
- Supports mobile devices with fallback-display if browser doesn't support flash/embed codes
- Allows the user to specify the above mentioned replacement code for mobile browsers
- Minor improvements & Fixes

Changes since 1.1:
- Moved regular expression and index position into admincp settings to allow easier changing in the future
- supports new youtube link format: "http://youtu.be/*somevideocode*"

Changes since 1.0: (or: why should I download that mod again?)
- Added Link parsing in post-preview mode and in post reviewbits (the latest posts you see under the new reply form)

Now every post containing youtube-links should display the embedded video instead.
Works with any number of youtube-links and any kind of text surrounding them.

Let me know if you have trouble/questions.

It does, if you use the propper URL from the Share box.. However, posted like it is, it does not.

You're right, thanks for that, I usually just use the url but using the share link worked fine.

tried to use it on 4.1.10,
sadly it negates the modification which we use to remove quoted YT videos

why need this mod when vb has the convert video bbcode? i was gonna have it installed but was talked out of it because of the feature that vb ofears. Was i right to lisen vb 4.1.9 is my version. would love to go to 4.1.11, but i have over 20 mods and dont want to loose any of the work done with these mods!!

It makes it so the users don't have to use the [video] embed code, they can just put in the URL and the mods automatically inserts the [video] code
