BB Code Enhancements - [BB Code] YouTube Javascript Embed

Show YouTube videos directly in your vBulletin forum posts.
Very easy to install and please Mark as Installed if you decide to use it, thanks.

Changes to my old YouTube embed:

1. All videos are now larger (640x480 pixels)
2. All videos are now shown in high quality and stereo sound (if available)
3. You can now embed videos in HD (if available)
4. Valid XHTML code (works in all modern browsers and operating systems).

Installation is as follows:

1. Go To AdminCP.
2. Select Custom BB Codes.
3. Add New BB Code.
4. Fill in the following:

Title: YouTube BB Code
Tag: yt
Replacement:

<script src="http://www.yourforum.com/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" >
AC_FL_RunContent('codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0','width','640','height','480','src','http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}&ap=%2526fmt%3D18','quality','high','wmode','transparent','name','youtube','allowscriptaccess','sameDomain','pluginspage','http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}&ap=%2526fmt%3D18' );</script>

5. Upload the included javascript file to your forum root:
Change the example URL: www.yourforum.com to your own URL.

6. Edit the code above to the exact location of the javascript file you just uploaded.

Example: [yt]1EutKrKTfLk[/yt]
Description: YouTube
Use {Option}: No

When installed, use the code in your forum like this:

[yt]1EutKrKTfLk[/yt]

For HD use this:

[yt]1EutKrKTfLk&ap=%2526fmt%3D22[/yt]

Did you check the filepath of the included file ?
Can I see an example of it where you see the blank page ?

Installed, working great, thanks!

Glad you like it...

I'm kinda an idiot & it took me a few try's to get it to work. After I realized all I needed to input as the value was the specific video #, Worked like a charm

To save anyone else the embarrassment, here's what I mean...

typical YouTube video URL's look like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EutKrKTfLk

All you need is the text after the "v=" in the case of the link above, "1EutKrKTfLk" is what you would put between the [yt ][ /yt] BB code (without the "Quotes") Like this:

[yt]1EutKrKTfLk[/yt]

Anyway, Works Great. I love it. Thanks!

I would love something like there where the user could enable/disable the tag (like we can all do with IMG tags) in their User CP so people browsing at work aren't setting off alarms on the company's monitoring software. Any chance of that happening? Thanks!

[guncanada]

works great. But how can i install a button that can put the tags around for the users. Like a little youtube button so it will pop up a window where they can copy the youtube url

[vijayninel]

This is awesome but...Right now the system system we have on our forums is that the user just copies and pastes the url link of the video and the video shows up on the page when posted......no inserting between the bb codes and manually putting the end part.

Can something like that be done with this.

Thanks.

This was blank because of a mistake in the code.

Here is the original:

<script src="http://www.yourforum.com/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" >
AC_FL_RunContent('codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0','width','640','height ','480','src','http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}&ap=%2526fmt%3D18','quality','high','wmode' ,'transparent','name','youtube','allowscriptaccess ','sameDomain','pluginspage','http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}&ap=%2526fmt%3D18' );</script>

Here is the fix:

<script src="http://www.yourforum.com/AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" >
AC_FL_RunContent('codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0','width','640','height ','480','src','http://www.youtube.com/v={param}&ap=%2526fmt%3D18','quality','high','wmode' ,'transparent','name','youtube','allowscriptaccess ','sameDomain','pluginspage','http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}&ap=%2526fmt%3D18' );</script>

I erased the forward slash after the youtube.com/v and added a = in the front. Works perfect now. I've turned the fixed part red so you can find it easier.

So if anybody has a blanking problem, try that.

Good BB Code. Installed

Very long educational process for the users.
