New Feature: Youtube Video Embedding

[shanehensley]

Good evening,

I'm excited to introduce a new feature on the forums tonight. You now have the ability to embed Youtube videos in your posts. :)

To use it, it's just like any regular bbcode, except with the "youtube" tag.

It works like this...

If you were wanting to post the following video, you would use a code like I've pasted in the code box below, where you only enter the unique code from the end of the video's URL.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=S1CR_lEu0iY

[*youtube]S1CR_lEu0iY[/youtube]

When posting it, you would of course remove the asterisk (*) from the opening tag...I just added that so I could post the code to show what it would look like.

Posting the above code, would show this:

S1CR_lEu0iY

Just change out the string within the code brackets with that at the end of any Youtube video's URL, to post the video directly in a post on the forum. Enjoy, and if you have any questions, just ask. :cool:

BTW...I'd just like to say 'thanks' to one of my good friends, Jacob Bowser (the_d), for helping me develop this feature. I like to call him the "Flash God". :)

So it automatically puts the Rev3 skin on the player. Pretty sweet, because I hate youtube's. This is a really cool feature, good work!

So, Brazilian soccer-star sex videos for everyone!

That's awesome. Is this a new feature of whatever bulletin board system you are running on, or is it a 'hacked' add-on?

[rebelace]

Awesome new feature.

Yeah, it's kind of a hack that I threw together.


By the way just to clarify, if I were watching this video...

...and I felt like posting it here, I would use this bbcode:

Of course, without the asterisk in the opening tag.

Nice job man, it's great.

Great job, but does anyone else find it crepy the way shan smiles in his posts? I'm thinking the old man on family guy.

Dude, I have thought that for years, but I've never said anything to him. :D
Intervention?

[samureye]

If you've ever gotten the "I've got some popsicles in my robe, why don't you reach in there for it?" line, then find a new admin, stat!

[starscream80]

Thanks!!! That's pretty sweet!!!

[magunwarrior]

This is really cool! The videos look great too!

Note:
Added ability to download videos.

I'm working on a full-screen function for those of you who have the latest build of Flash Player 9 installed.
If you don't, what are you waiting for (http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash)?!

Cool feature and I like the Rev3 skin. I just read this thread so I'll definitely use this next time I post up a vid. Thanks!

[g33k0ft3ch]

Cool I haven't seen this feature yet (in my eyes) but I think this could be great for the board.

Sweet, bout time we caught up with a lot of other big forums I know of. Good one-upsmanship with the revision3 bitgravity border.
