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.

I just installed this in my forum (3.6.8) and in the reply box it just has the text for the YouTube and GVideo, not the logos.

What do I need to do to show the logos instead?

Chimpie, you did not upload the two images he provided in his post.

Thanks for the great plugin Viper,

And BTW i need this plugin to be updated, so that it fetches and displays the Video titles. Instead of Youtube videos or Google videos..

[WEBDosser]

i seem to get an error once this is installed and someone looks into the FAQ about bbcode..

Fatal error: Cannot use assign-op operators with overloaded objects nor string offsets in /home/public_html/forums/misc.php(479) : eval()'d code on line 1

if i uninstall the hack everything is fine?..

Just edit your custom bb code:
embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xxxxxxxx;autoplay=1"

i.e set "autoplay=1", and it will start autoplaying without any play button at the center of the video.
