Mini Mods - Google Streetview BB Code

Hi all, this little bit of code, will allow your members to use google street view on your site...

As seen At my Leicester Talk Forum

Theres no products to upload, or templates to edit.. Just follow these steps.

Creating the basic Widget
Go To "Admin CP --> Custom BB Codes --> Add New BB Code"

Enter the following...

Title: Street View
BB Code Tag Name: sview
Replacement:

<div align="center"  style="margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px;">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%">
        <tr>
                <td class="thead" style="text-align:center"><iframe width="100%" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="{param}&amp;source=embed&output=svembed"></iframe></td>
        </tr>
</table>
</div>

Example: [sview]Example[/sview]
Description: Add Google Street View to the forum. Locate the place of interest you want, using maps.google.com street view then click LINK icon right hand side, and copy the link info in the very first box, and paste between the [sview] tags
Use {option}: No
Button Image (Optional): whatever 20x20 image you want, I've put one at the bottom. Please upload the file and then refer to it...

I was using the link dropdown address.

Strange - it seems to be sporadic actually. That same link WORKED for other maps! Hmm....maybe it's just a Google thing?

Timing couldn't have been better for me, I am just building an eating-out section and this will be a nice extra feature, especially as our part of the UK was only put on street-view yesterday!

It has something to do with the way google formats the URL for that specific spot... not sure why it's different for elsewhere yet...
