YouTube BB Code (W3C-compliant!) · **Released**: 01-13-2009

I searched for a decent YouTube BB code tag here, but every single one of them uses the embed tag, which is an illegal XHTML tag. I set out to find a way to create a W3C-compliant YouTube BB code tag, and this is what you see here.

Title: YouTube
BB Code Tag Name: youtube
Replacement:

HTML Code:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}&fs=1&hd=1" width="644" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}&fs=1&hd=1" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v={param}">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v={param}</a></object>

Example: [youtube]zlfKdbWwruY[/youtube]
Description: Embed a YouTube video. You only put the video ID in between the BB code tags (NOT the full URL!). Embedding must be enabled for the video!
Use Option: No
Image:

Important Note!
A link to the YouTube video is displayed if the YouTube video fails to load. There are a variety of reasons this might occur:

- You didn't properly enter the video ID between the BB code tags.
- You don't have the latest version of Flash.
- You are using Firefox and have a conflicting extension (AdBlock, NoScript, a Greasemonkey script, etc).
- The video doesn't allow embedding.
- You have some other problem on your end (corrupt browser install, spyware, virus, etc.).
- YouTube is currently having a problem.

I actually just checked YouTube's dimensions for regular and HQ, and it's 644x390 (HD is 858x508 for comparison). I went ahead and changed it.

Nope, as I said earlier, it's not possible with a simple BBCode mod. At least not until the vB3 team builds in a way to use PHP or something fancier than what we have available.

Not at all. It loads directly from YouTube. There's absolutely no strain on your server because of this BBCode.

Just put these in. I hope it's ok to ask this question here, on the editor bar is there anyway to arrange the order of the buttons?:

I want it: Normal, HQ, HD.

The order is determined based on the order in which you add the BBCodes to the BBCode manager. So, remove HD and then readd it and it should appear after HQ.

I don't know if you guys knew this, but if you want to make the video autoplay, you can do something like this:

Code:

[youtubehd]zlfKdbWwruY&autoplay=1[/youtubehd]

Just add &autoplay=1 to the end of the video ID.
