New Posting Features - Fluid YouTube/Vimeo BBcodes (auto-created)

Overview:

This product creates 2 new BBCodes that will allow your users to post YouTube/Vimeo videos in fluid containers, i.e., containers that will dynamically resize if the browser window is resized to always maintain a 16:9 aspect ratio and to maintain left/right margins based on a defined percentage of the parent element's width.

Once installed, instruct your users that they merely need to include the video identifiers within the BBCode tags. For example:

[MYOUTUBE]xjglB04TOno[/MYOUTUBE]

[MVIMEO]22439234[/MVIMEO]

Features:

• Upon installation, your database is edited to create the two new BBCodes thereby eliminating the need for you to go through the tedious process of manually adding them yourself.
• A button for each BBCode is added to your editor's toolbar.
• The CSS of the video elements is configurable via the product settings.

The BBCode buttons in the editor toolbar:



A YouTube video in a post:



Upon clicking the BBCode buttons in the editor toolbar, you simply need to enter the video's identifier between the generated tags.

To Install:

1. Download and extract the attached .zip file.
2. Upload the contents of the "upload" folder to your root directory. This is the image files for the BBCode buttons.
3. In AdminCP go to Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product.
4. Click on "Choose File" and browse to the product xml file that was packaged in the .zip file.
5. Click "Import"

Visit the product's settings to configure the CSS (there are default values, so the product will run without having to initially set the settings). Each setting has an explanation of its use.

Try editing the Vimeo and Youtube BBCodes and replace "http" with "https" and let me know if that works.

Nope, Mark!

We have a youtube bbcode, that is working with this code:

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

And this is for Vimeo videos:

<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/{param}" width="540" height="380" frameborder="0"></iframe>

I don't have an SSL vB 3.8.x site on which to test, but it works fine on my dev site.

Thanks Mark, but SSL ist important for us and our customers! And i think that the most business sites have to use it or have to switch to SSL.
