Features

• This mod supports both 'youtube.com' & 'youtu.be' links and also http/https links.
• This mod parses youtube links automatically and displays them as videos.
  
  
  
  • Youtube videos
  • Youtube videos with time identifier
  • Youtube playlist
• Since youtube video links are automatically parsed & displayed, there is no need to use the 'youtube' tags. At the same time, youtube links & video id's wrapped within 'youtube' tags also work.
• In addition to these features, this mod supports the following format also which was used by some old mods.
  
  
  
  • [yt]yVpbFMhOAwE[/yt]
• It works in all browsers (with/without flash). If flash player is not available, then this mod displays the video using HTML5.

Who should use this Mod
If you are one of the people who use only youtube videos & playlist in your forum then this is the mod that you're looking for.


How-To
Youtube video links are parsed & displayed automatically. Just post the youtube links as plain text.

Youtube links wrapped within [url] tags won't be parsed as videos. If you wrap a link within [url] tags, then it means you are forcing youtube links to be displayed as url.

Correct: Hi, checkout this youtube video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVpbFMhOAwE

Incorrect: Hi, checkout this youtube video, [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVpbFMhOAwE[/url]

Thank you very much.

I thought of making a bbc button but this mod automatically parses youtube links & displays them as videos which is the core feature. So I dropped the idea of adding a bbc.

Hi, I've just tried to install this on a forum and I'm having a bit of an issue. I'm more a day to day 'stop the place from falling apart' admin than the other two, so I'm woefully out of my depth in this. Attempts to contact my colleagues have been unsuccessful.... so I'll try this!

I get this error:

Followed by:


Like I said, my technical skill is next to nothing, so I can only assume there is a conflict with another package, listed here:


Any and all help is great, thanks!

[Neo_TE]

Well just now the mod was updated. Improved the edits done by the package to fix/minimise the clash with other mods during install/uninstall operations. I suggest you to try the new version 1.1.

If you face the error even with version 1.1, then upload your Post.php file here and ill do the edit for you.

Actually its a simple edit which you can try yourself. Browse to your forum_directory/Sources/Post.php.

You'll find the following tag twice in the Post.php file.

Code (find) Select Expand

<img>


Add the following code before <img> in both the places.

Code (add before) Select Expand

<object><embed><iframe>

[Neo_TE]

Thanks & you're welcome.

Yes, that's right. But this is just a maintenance release.

Hey I have a problem with this mod and Simpleportal's default shoutbox. Whenever I post a youtube link in that shoutbox, it cuts off the link and leaves the id wrapped around the youtube bbc tag. Is there a way to fix this?

I'm not sure if youtube videos can be embedded in simple portal's shoutbox. You have to ask simple portal devs regarding that issue.

[Malibuz0r]

No no, that's not what I want. Whenever I post a youtube URL, a complete URL in the shoutbox, it cuts off the link and leaves it like:

. Which makes the URL unclickable.. I want it to show the full url. This only started happening after I installed the mod.

PS: Don't want to embed videos on the shoutbox.
