Have you been to usercp left menu down, and put in youtube info?

It wont show up in profile till you do.

And be sure to enter usergroup numbers in acp for usergroups that can use.

You know what's simple? Linking to a video to be displayed on your profile, but not changing the default "auto start" setting from 'no' to 'yes'.

You know what else is simple? Not clicking to have a video played when you happen to be checking out someone's profile page.

Those two things are going to happen. And people not watch a video when visiting someone's profile is what I had before I installed this mod.

How does this complicate things, and for whom? If a yes/no default setting is too much for an an Admin, they shouldn't be installing mods. If the user who's linking a video has trouble figuring it out figure out, then they can just leave the default setting alone. This coder has clearly displayed that he has the capability to implement this request without breaking vBulletin.

I don't think this is hard.

But that's just me.

I have never seen usercp.
Where is that?

I am on 4.2.1 here...

Sorry but it is not clear......

And thanks....

Your user control panel, you know, where you set your own avatar etc.

You will see a menu selection on the left menu bar toward the bottom.

Click on youtube settings, and a page will open allowing you to enter in a youtube url etc.

For the members settings:

Settings >> Look below My Account for Edit Youtube Options..
Edit Player 1
*YouTube Title,
*Share this video Link or Page url,
*Youtube Menu Color,
*YouTube Auto Start,
*Youtube Location

If one is interested for your profile he will click, personally I think its annoying that video auto starts, therefore i think this option you are requesting is not need and if it will take just 1B more from server resource I am against it, but its just me.

As it is its just perfect for me

[smirkley]

I think it is always up to the profile owner to make their page annoying or not.

It is up to the visitor to decide if it is annoying.

I myself have my personal profile set to annoying, so that a viewer of my profile page can hear a music selection of my choice just upon pageview.

(hmm, maybe I should Rick-Roll my profile viewers )

[goxy63]

Sure it is about profile owner, that is already implemented and that's ok...we are talking here about option that admin set globally all videos to auto play by default and than that user changes it if he wants...this is not needed by me as an option for admin...

but if Stangger have time for that please go ahead we will have plenty annoyig profiles on www

[smirkley]

Oh no, I overstepped,.. I didnt know you meant globally.
For me just individually selectable is good.

(quietly sneaks away,...)

If two videos are linked and the Auto Start is selected, both videos start playing on page load. This is using the YouTube page link (not share) opton.
