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:

[gvideo="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3688185030664621355"]1980's Izuzu Gemini Advertisement[/gvideo]
[gvideo="3688185030664621355"]1980's Izuzu Gemini Advertisement[/gvideo]

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.

Yeah, I'll just check for the right $_POST value to see if it's a preview or not.

And thanks for the regex. I may be quite good at PHP/MySQL, but I'm still a noob at regex.

I added the custom BB code for just YouTube per the instructions, but it doesn't seem to be working. Here's a link to a post on my forum using the code.

Any idea why it's not displaying the video?

You have HTML in your URL...

No worries. My perl background helps me out with that. Really powerful and useful to learn.

Only happens with the WYSIWYG editor since that apparently uses the BBCode parser to make it's output.

One problem I see with this mod: If you click anywhere but the
image, it takes you to the YouTube.com home page. Any way around this?

Otherwise, the members get stuck spending hours on Youtube instead of continuing to browse my site.

Nothing I can do about any of that kinda stuff. It's their Flash file being loaded off their server.

Hi!

The plugin itself contains a bug, the code is sometimes already parsed and available in $parsedtext instead of $text.

This code will fix it.

One other bug, Google video is available on multiple domains also on video.google.nl or co.uk etc. Also fixed with this code.

I didn't test YouTube however.

PHP Code:

$viper_patterns = array(
    '#\[youtube\]http://(www.youtube|youtube).[^/]+/watch\?v=(.*?)&(.*?)\[/youtube\]#si',
    '#\[youtube\]http://(www.youtube|youtube).[^/]+/watch\?v=(.*?)\[/youtube\]#si',
    '#docid=http://video.google.[^/
]+/videoplay\?docid=(\d+)[^"]+?"#si',
);

$viper_patterns2 = array(
    '#\[youtube\]http://(www.youtube|youtube).[^/]+/watch\?v=(.*?)&(.*?)\[/youtube\]#si',
    '#\[youtube\]http://(www.youtube|youtube).[^/]+/watch\?v=(.*?)\[/youtube\]#si',
    '#\[googlevideo\]http://video.google.[^/
]+/videoplay\?docid=(\d+)[^\]]+?\[/googlevideo\]#si',
);

$viper_replacements = array(
    '[YOUTUBE]$2[/YOUTUBE]',
    '[YOUTUBE]$2[/YOUTUBE]',
    'docid=$1"',
);

$viper_replacements2 = array(
    '[YOUTUBE]$2[/YOUTUBE]',
    '[YOUTUBE]$2[/YOUTUBE]',
    '[GOOGLEVIDEO]$1[/GOOGLEVIDEO]',
);

if (!empty($parsedtext)) {
$parsedtext = preg_replace($viper_patterns, $viper_replacements, $parsedtext);
} else {
$text = preg_replace($viper_patterns2, $viper_replacements2, $text);
}
