[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 )

My you tube BB Code has stopped working in 3.6.4 in firefox browser 1.5.0.8

It mall formats the actual link. You can see an axample at the beginning of an existing post at http://www.physiobob.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3510

The first word was a link working perfectly until a recent upgrade. This might be a firefox issue or it might be a vbulletin issue. This is because I also have now seen that my plugin which does the same thing for adding utube plugins is also asking to install a plug to make it work!

I attach a screen shot of that as well for you interest in case it help to work out where the issue might be coming from.

The link in that post that you mention is unresolvable, and why is there an asterisk in it?

http://www.physiobob.com/forum/*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantar

And what exactly has that problem got to do with this YouTube Mod??

This is the BUG/Issue. This is therefore not working any longer in IE or Firefox. The link is not resolving correctly for wikipedia? I have no idea why there is a * in there? Also the end should say Plantar_fasciitis in the link not just Plantar

Changed the BBcode tho, may be of use to others so posted it here (we also take advantage of autoplay the video is not played until the user clicks AGREE to a small disclaimer. Some code borrowed from the anymedia plugin so credit where its due

Normal



After clicking 'AGREE'

Hello,

For some reason videos were not showing up when using the initial code so I installed this and now the videos show up great in firefox.

Thanks, this worked great for fixing the firefox problem. Now off to test opera. Boy, I hope it works.

Nice thing, but how can i restrict some Forums to allow or not to use this code. I woud like to have same control about this funktion like the "img" bb-code.

Recommendation -

When you post a Youtube video near the top of a thread (I'm using the legacy postbit too) and subsequently try to use the Thread Tools drop down to edit/stick/whatever, the menu drops down behind the YouTube layer.

One of my admins suggested the following alteration:

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

Here's a 100$ question

Is there any way to "hide" the YouTube video under a button, like a spoiler tag for instance? Here's an example of what I mean:

http://forum.computergames.ro/11-rpg...l#post36649080

The Spoiler tag code looks like this:

<div class="spoiler" style="display:inline"><input type="button" class="button" onClick="showSpoiler(this);" value="Show spoiler: {option}"> <span class="content" style="display:none">{param}</span></div>

And the example: [spoiler=My movie Title]My neat spoiler[/spoiler]

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have an idea as well.

There is a perfect compliment to this mod.
We need to figure out how to add the YouTube button as an Icon on the forum index next to posts that have videos embedded in them.

I brought this up in the mod suggestion forum recently.

Much like the paperclip shows up for attachments.

SOMEBODY HELP! THIS WOULD BE GREAT, NO?
