New Feature: Embed YouTube videos into posts!

**The Chosen One** · 03-21-2007, 02:18 AM

Okay, so for anyone who has seen this thread, I basically set up some code and put in a little extra effort to make that thread as good as I could, but the youtube embedding thing was going to be just for me at that point, since I hadn't mentioned it to Sholiz. I was chatting with him earlier today, and he mentioned how he intended on looking into the possibility of YouTube support, so I showed him the thread and mentioned how I had actually just set it up myself, and he wanted me to make it publically available. So here it is folks, it's very simple:
look for a youtube video that you wish to embed, for example:

.
Then you make the [you.tube] tag (without the period in the middle), paste the youtube video link between the two of them like this
[you.tube]

and finally, remove everything but the individual link text displayed after /watch?v=
so in this case,
[you.tube]lOLEvbJvCX0[/youtube] note that I did the tag incorrectly, that was so that you'd see how it was done for sure. I also added as you may have noticed a new button, this way you simply click it and it creates the tags for you. If I can figure it out/have the time, I might make it so that it pops up with a window, similar to posting a hyperlink in which it asks for the link, and then automatically removes everything leading up until the individual link. Thats not important just yet though, before that I have other things to work on. I'll also make it more appealing soon, it sort of stands out with the white bg instead of blending in.

heres an example of it in action:

and for those of you who may be scheming, don't bother trying anything it won't work; this isn't for any activex or shockwave apps or anything, it is exclusively effective for youtube videos, nothing else.

I need to polish a few things up come to think of it, some of the other buttons look a bit sketchy. IT is in full-swing still by the way, I recently gave Sholiz a look at it and he said something along the lines of "It's coming togather GREAT!". Anyway, enjoy the new feature.
