BB Code Enhancements - Embed XHTML valid YouTube and Google Video into your posts

==============================
DON'T FORGET TO CLICK INSTALL!
==============================

Just thought I'd share what I did to allow my users to embed YouTube and Google Video videos into posts on my forum. This is my very first mod I've made since switching to vB, so forgive me if I screwed something up.


Demo:

http://forums.finalgear.com/test-for...-thread-14892/

The black bar will be different for you as it'll match your theme (it uses the same style as the whole quick reply box).


Upgrading from v1.x:

Just remove the plugin you added before (manage plugins -> delete) and then continue on to the installation instructions.

If you already have v2.x installed, you do NOT need to do this.


Installation:

Download and install the attached product. It will automatically create the new custom BBCode and add in some filtering plugins.

Save the two attached images and upload them to /images/editor/.


Usage:

Here's some examples:

Using vBAdvanced? It lacks the hook this plugin uses apparently, so if you wish to use this plugin with it, you need to use only the video ID and NOT the full URL for it to display correctly. Nothing I can do about it, it's vBAdvanced's fault.


How do I customize the look of the new box thingies?

Just edit the new custom BBCode items. It's in the admin area, near the bottom.

Very odd. I'm frankly clueless to why it's doing that.

I can only think that it's another plugin causing the problem.

I have one question though
Is there any way to add the quick icon function in the quick replies? because i only have the icon when you go to "advance reply"

anyway thanks!

Let me first give the disclaimer...I have NO idea what I am doing when it comes to adding hacks/plugins or any of it. Anyway, I tried to upload this and ever time I get this error "XML Error: Reserved XML Name at Line 1"
What I am I doing wrong?
