Anyway to post YouTube videos without using BBCode?

^ :-)

They suddenly stopped working and I've never been able to embed them since

Maybe transmorgifier could do it? It would depend on if vanilla strips tags before or after transmorgifier does its magic.

HTML formatter allows youtube as well

Hmm, not sure how I'd work it with transmorgifier Looks complicated :P

Just tried using HTML formatter (I've been using it for ages actually, but an old version) and I've not had any luck, I tried adding the following code:

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

And it doesn't show up anything at all

If I recall correctly the html formatter strips the embed tag so you'll need to edit the plugin and remove the embed tag from the code.

Awesome, thanks, just went to check and found this bit of interesting code:

function VideoLink($Matches) { $Type = strtolower(trim($Matches[2])); $ID = $Matches[3]; switch($Type) { case 'google' : return ('<embed style="width: 400px; height: 326px;" id="VideoPlayback" '. 'type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId='.$ID.'"></embed>'); case 'youtube' : return ('<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/'.$ID.'"></param>'. '<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/'.$ID.'" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed>'. '</object>'); default : return $Matches[0]; } }

Any idea what to do with that?

<video type="google">docid</video> <video type="youtube">video id</video>

blizeH

I see, cheers. Just tried doing that:

<video type="youtube">GNLDLyeepVs</video>

No luck

Am kinda tempted just to allow the embed tag, but if I can get it working like this ^ that'd be good too I guess, and a lot more secure :-)

MySchizoBuddy

do u have a test account on ur forum that i can use to test it

NickE

it's an option you have to enable in the extension file definitions. but I wouldn't get too settled in if I were you; some holes were found in this version (1.9), and I think I've fixed them (with 2.0), but we can't be too sure ;-)

blizeH

Ahh I see, cheers! How do I enable it then? Or maybe more specifically where can I get v2.0 from? :-)

Edit: Nm, just seen you've updated it, cheers!

I've just set this: define('HTML_VIDEO_TAG', 1);

But still no luck getting that above video code working

blizeH

Jesus, it's completely screwed up loads of formatting HTML on the site now! Eep.

Edit: in fact, every single post formatted as HTML is b0rked

Of all the times to clear my recycle bin!

NickE

shit, sorry about that; managed to leave it on 'testing' mode... try it now, should be fixed

blizeH

Ah that's excellent, cheers for fixing it so quickly! :-)

Still not having any luck posting YouTube videos though for some reason, can you confirm this is correct please?

<video type="youtube">GNLDLyeepVs</video>

NickE

ok, how about now?

blizeH

w00t! Works an absolute treat, thank you so much!

blizeH

Final question (sorry!) - anyway to post MySpace movies?

NickE

done

blizeH

O_O

You're a bloody legend, was just about to have a go at it myself, glad I checked here first! Thanks!

Edit:
<video type="myspace">1853735795</video>
Is this correct?

NickE

should be, yes

blizeH

Edit: Sorry, I was being dumb, forgot to switch the video enable back to '1'! :-) Thanks again <3
