[BB Code] YouTube embedded video

I didnt see anyone else release this so i thought i'd release it

What this code does is allow your members to embed YouTube Videos
into their posts. As YouTube url's always begin with http://www.youtube.com/v/
all your users need to do is copy and paste the last bit of url (found on the
YouTube site for whatever video they want to post) inside the tags (see the example below).

To Install:
1. Go To Admin CP
2. Scroll down the left nav and select Custom BB Codes
3. Add New BB Code
4. Fill in the following:

Title: YouTube BB Code
Tag: yt (You can change this to whatever you prefer, yt is just nice and small )
Replacement:

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

Example: [yt]ejOJkcs-a7s[/yt]
Description: Embeds You Tube Videos
Use {Option}: No

Enjoy! (Although its not much, this is my first release on vb.org )

^^ How are you entering your tags?

Anyone figure out how to set permissions?

Is there a way to change this so that users can just enter the entire youtube url. Some of users have a hard time figuring out what piece of the url to use.

It's just the number tag, that's it. Just post an announcement on your forum with a screen capture of what to look for.

Use the wmode attribute in the replacement..

Example:

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}"></param><param name="wmode" value="opaque"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350" wmode="opaque"></embed></object>

This may not work on some custom skins, however.

Thanks, now is ok

Small problem using this in internet explorer 7. I have this setup with a button icon. A user highlights the video id in there entry and clicks the 'youtube' button. The tags are then insterted, like this:

[yt]lkjd9845[/yt]

But, in IE7 it does this:

[yt]
lkjd9845
[/yt]

The video just shows a blank white box, unless the user goes in a puts it all on one line. Any idea why this is happening?

Works perfectly fine on my 3.6.0 too, thanks!
