BB Code Enhancements - YouTube BB Code (W3C-compliant!)

I searched for a decent YouTube BB code tag here, but every single one of them uses the embed tag, which is an illegal XHTML tag. I set out to find a way to create a W3C-compliant YouTube BB code tag, and this is what you see here.

Title: YouTube
BB Code Tag Name: youtube
Replacement:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}&fs=1&hd=1" width="644" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}&fs=1&hd=1" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v={param}">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v={param}</a></object>

Example: [youtube]zlfKdbWwruY[/youtube]
Description: Embed a YouTube video. You <b>only</b> put the video ID in between the BB code tags (<b>NOT</b> the full URL!). Embedding <b>must</b> be enabled for the video!
Use Option: No
Image:

Important Note!
A link to the YouTube video is displayed if the YouTube video fails to load. There are a variety of reasons this might occur:

- You didn't properly enter the video ID between the BB code tags.
- You don't have the latest version of Flash.
- You are using Firefox and have a conflicting extension (AdBlock, NoScript, a Greasemonkey script, etc).
- The video doesn't allow embedding.
- You have some other problem on your end (corrupt browser install, spyware, virus, etc.).
- YouTube is currently having a problem.

Members simply paste what they see in the browser URL. How can I change it to accept full URL instead of just ID?

You'll need another (fancier) mod if you want to do this. Given vB3's current BBCode system, a simple BBCode can't achieve that unfortunately. Just tell your members how to properly use this BBCode.

My members just had to be edumacated. But they soon learned how it works.

I don't understand. Copy/paste the [youtube] command you were trying.

installed - many thanks - any way of getting the icon to show in quick reply - typing the text works so it is ok from there.
