Major Additions - Video Gallery - Share Videos! (From Any Website)

Current Version: Beta 3 (Updated October 31st)

NOTE: I will take this hack out of it's BETA stage soon! Please report any features you would like to see, or any bugs that you encounter!

This hack will add a video gallery to your forums accessible at the location: www.yourforumurl.com/forums/videogallery.php

To add a video users must specify a unique videoID code and select a "Video Type" from the list of available options. This hack comes included with "Video Types" for Google Video and YouTube. A "Video Type" consists basically of just the Embedding code for that video sharing site with each instance of the Unique Video ID replaced with the text: $code. When the video is displayed the text $code is replaced with the UniqueID specified by the user who added the video.

You can add new video types to accommodate almost any video sharing website. There are detailed instructions written within the hack to help you through this process.


Features Added in Beta Version 3
Pagination has been made more robust.
Templates have been tweaked for visual appeal.
Comment Writer and Admins can now delete comments.

Features added in Beta Version 2

1) A means to move videos from one category to another.

Please click install, and ask for support!!!! I will give it.

This is a great plugin
Can we have an additional code to allow thumbnails?

Awesome! Been looking for it since switched over from phpbb to VB. Looking forward to more features. Before I forget, I would very much like to have some sord of profile (memberinfo) integration.

Installed and rated 5. I will nominate it when it gets out of the beta stage.

Thanks

Thanks, this is a great mod!!

Would it be possible to allow users to upload their videos to a specific YouTube account through this hack? I think this feature would give an extra boost to the hack.

do not use Video type like youtube and google .
Only use embed code . that enough . i think
sorry for my bad english

i found a couple of bugs...

1. I have 3 videos in one category and 1 video in another.. but the video count for both shows as 3 videos...

2. Inside a video category, you can keep going to the next page even though there is no more than one page of videos...

letting users enter their own embed code wouldn't be smart from a security perspective...and there would be no control...

but you just gave me an idea... how about making this compatible with AME, that way you can control the types of videos through AME..
