Topic: Embedding videos on the forum

[Dunrobin]

I just installed a new mod to make it easy to embed YouTube videos again.  Let's see if it works:

Yep! 

You'll see three new buttons on the right side of the toolbar when making a post.  (See attached image.)

These BBCode takes these forms:

Code: [Select]

[youtube]{youtube link}[/youtube]
[youtube width=x height=y]{youtube link}[/youtube]
[yt]{youtube ID}[/yt]
[yt {parameters}]{youtube ID}[/yt]
[yt_user]{username}[/yt_user]
[yt_user {parameters}]{username}[/yt_user]
[yt_search]{search query}[/yt_search]
[yt_search {parameters}]{search query}[/yt_search]
where width and height is specified by x and y.  If width and height aren't specified, width is 100% of the post display area and height in a 16:9 ratio to the width.

The yt_user bbcode will show videos by the specified YouTube username.

The yt_search bbcode will show videos matching the provided search phrase.

This mod should be able to display a valid YouTube video when passing URLs.  For example, all of the following will display the YouTube video at

Code: [Select]

http://www.youtube.com/v/fA4cphzsjn8.

For YouTube Videos:

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ni4ZclaiOtY&list=PLquckZj9TVRFKWqM6LJI4a_dgvN48jZGk[/youtube]Substituting http://youtube.com, http://www.youtube-nocookies.com, http://youtu.be, and http://www.youtu.be also works.  https:// works instead of http://.  Please note any other parameters specified in the URL are ignored.

Optional parameters and values for all YouTube bbcodes are:
o width = Specifies the width of the iframe area.
o height = Specifies the height of the iframe area.
o start = Specifies how far into the video to start at.  Valid formats: "Seconds" or "Minutes:Seconds"
o end = Specifies how far into the video to stop at.  Valid formats: "Seconds" or "Minutes:Seconds"
o autoplay = 1, yes, on or true
o color = red or white
o theme = dark or light
o loop = 1, yes, on or true
o controls = 0, no, off, hide or false
o showinfo = 0, no, off, hide or false
o privacy = 1, yes, on or true

Profile Settings
There is a new option under Profile => Look and Layout called Show YouTube videos as a link.  Checking this box makes the mod create links instead of embedded videos in your post.

Just testing to see if it works...
