Embedding YouTube videos in your posts using BB Code!

[Redleg]

I've added a new BB Code now that you can use to embed YouTube videos directly in your posts.. :smil:

More info:
http://www.military-quotes.com/forum/misc.php?do=bbcode#yt

How to use the new [yt] (youtube) code:
[yt=video name]Video ID[/yt]

If I want to embed this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQHX-SjgQvQ

Then I'll need to use this code:
[yt=Medieval helpdesk]pQHX-SjgQvQ[/yt]
(The Video ID is the characters listed after v= in the URL/Link)

Creates this embedded video:

Medieval helpdesk

Real easy, right??

Do you have a Vbulletin board?
If so, then you need to add a custom BBCode for Youtube...
I can PM it to you if you need it..

So, what's the easier way?

So, what's the easier way?

there's so many ways somtimes i forget. just suggestions here

on the toolbar above the post box. far right side. the blue PHP tag. click

PHP PHP. the brackets won't show up here

back these out and type youtube in. thus

[youtube][/youtube]

the URL from youtube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2wye37sZiQ

now copy and paste in everything after the =

thus

[youtube]z2wye37sZiQ[/youtube]

done

many forums are now adding a little red youtube icon on that toolbar. when clicked you get:

[yt][/yt] once again add in everything after = done

yet other forums do a simple copy and paste of the URL

while others copy and paste in the embedded.

see why i forget??? would be nice to see one way standardized for all forums. but different strokes for diff servers

So, what's the easier way?

For SMF (http://www.simplemachines.org/, my take: The best forum software around, I now run it where owners let me when I do TechAdmin) it´s just pasting the link, and not only for youtube, but for most video sites (Aeva plug), and many audio sites: The way it should be. Total list and link to the plug below.
