View Full Version : YouTube tags ... a good idea or not?

One of the other forums I frequent has YouTube tags.

Usage looks like this:

bpFDHO-tqUY(you just put the bit of the YouTube URL after "v=" between the tags)

So the above code would embed this video in the thread
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpFDHO-tqUY


For the admins, here is how you do it (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?199304-How-To-Make-a-YouTube-BB-Code).

I like the idea of it...won't add much to load times, because the video doesn't start to load until you hit play...

Okay.. I have no clue how to make it bigger though... Give me a few...

you probably need to enable flash and BBC (Bulletin Board Code) in posts -

How did you embed it?

Did you surround the code with HTML tags?

5f2U1...layer_embedded (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5f2U1LZxZWQ&feature=player_embedded)

Works for me, I just copied the code after "v=" and put it inside the [youtube ] brackets [/ youtube] and it works.
Marlin
10-05-2010, 18:17
But can anybody embed anything other than the originel? That's what I want to know... [ROFL1]

Doesn't seem to work. I tried to embed this one and got the spoon trick.

EDIT: Now it seems to be all the way broken. Marlin must be working on it right now.

Nice video MB888, I'm loving it already.

*that's not sarcastic, I quoted you and looked at what you were trying to post and am watching it now.

With most vBulliten forums pasting in the "Embed" code from you tube will display the video.

Looks like it's all working now. Nice job Marlin.

Here you go: $$$$$$$ I hope that's enough.

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0ABGIJwiGBc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0ABGIJwiGBc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

what are you guys pasting into the reply window? The Youtube code in [] ?

You shouldn't have to do that

10-05-2010, 18:47
Let me know, if it's not working, I'll give it a shot again tomorrow.... Brain is no longer able to deal with it.. [Tooth]

Just the part after the "v=" then put it in [ /youtube] brackets. *No spaces*

When you hit reply there's a thing on the right, above the smileys that says "Wrap tags around selected text"

when you click it it gives you brackets like this {youtube} {/youtube} (with [] instead of {})

then you go to a youtube vid and copy part of the URL, everything after the v and paste it in between the brackets. easy peasy.

My first video on page one is working now as well.
hip55
10-05-2010, 18:52
that is way too much work.

Pasting in the entire YouTube embed code is what works in most vBulliten installations- I think that it has to be enabled in the Admin's cPanel, either "enable BBC" or "enable Flash".
