YouTube BBCode Best Method!

Hello!

This bbcode snippet here will allow your users to paste the WHOLE YOUTUBE LINK. I use this on my phpbb3 forums over at www.aintnobullshit.com and it works great!

BBcode usage:

Code: [Hide]

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v={TEXT}[/youtube]

HTML Replacement:

Code: [Hide]

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{TEXT}"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/{TEXT}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> 

This is a much easier method than having the users copy and paste a small ID #.......and this method even works if you add the "&feature=related" thing on the end, too.

Happy phpbbing!

How do youtube videos get removed and have sound taken off? I just want to know HOW and WHY youtube videos get removed. Like they'll say either: this video has been removed due to terms of violation, or youtube will delete the sound of the video. How does this happen??? I don't get what they mean when they say that you have property not recognized by wmg, or something like that, or why they remove your video due to terms of violation. Does it get removed right away or at any random time?

Post subject: Re: YouTube BBCode

i guess this happens when/if someone files a complaint/removal notice because it is copyright protected material?

Thanks alot man.!! It works great with me.

Post subject: Re: YouTube BBCode

looking at this youtube code closely (maybe too close??

) i noticed this throws w3c errors on the pages it is used (6 i think)

so i started messing with this, so far i have this:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

<div id="utube{SIMPLETEXT}"></div>

<script type="text/javascript" src="{T_TEMPLATE_PATH}/flashfix.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

var fo = new FlashObject("http://www.youtube.com/v/{SIMPLETEXT}", "mymovie", "425", "350","7");

fo.addParam("wmode", "transparent");

fo.addVariable("tab", getQueryParamValue("tab"));

fo.write("utube{SIMPLETEXT}");

</script>

wich throws me no error UNLESS someone would post the same video on the same page (because the video's simpletext gives the div id its name) so i actually need another or a better variable to give the div a unique id, it would be great if the user would not have to type anything extra to get it (just like it does now)

any ideas anyone?

How to access Youtube and other video streaming sites? The college blocked access to various sites on it's network but I've seen a few people able to stream from sites like Youtube. Accessing Youtube is not possible much less begin streaming. Is there a way to go around this?

Joshua203 [ Tue 02 Feb, 2010 11:59 ]
Post subject: Re: YouTube BBCode

i was actually hoping for a great tip on my previous question

your college is probably blocking utube because the students dont know what's on or off topic

but since your question is here allready... yes it's possible, try google for it or try proxy or even google for proxy?

Mighty Gorgon [ Thu 04 Feb, 2010 00:46 ]
Post subject: Re: YouTube BBCode

It's not easy if you don't want to add PHP in template.

You can add an easy fix by adding the post_id var for example (the problem is when 2 videos are posted within the same post).

You could use video ID, but that could lead to security issues and we don't want that...

Joshua203 [ Thu 04 Feb, 2010 02:03 ]
Post subject: Re: YouTube BBCode

this may be a silly question but thats because i don t understand the why of the security leak (no i agree we don t want that ...lol), but what if i combine the post_id var (put it in the place where it now says utube) and the video id (like now)?
would that be any safer?

sorry if i sound stupid but i m obviously in over my head

PS ..i m also not sure how to use the post_id but i ll look into this and have some tries

thnx

Mighty Gorgon [ Fri 05 Feb, 2010 11:44 ]
Post subject: Re: YouTube BBCode

I'm not sure if it is fully correct and safe at the same time... but you can have a try.

Code: [Hide] [Select]

<div id="utube{SIMPLETEXT}{postrow.POST_ID}"></div>

<script type="text/javascript" src="{T_TEMPLATE_PATH}/flashfix.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

var fo = new FlashObject("http://www.youtube.com/v/{SIMPLETEXT}", "mymovie", "425", "350","7");

fo.addParam("wmode", "transparent");

fo.addVariable("tab", getQueryParamValue("tab"));

fo.write("utube{SIMPLETEXT}{postrow.POST_ID}");

</script>

Post subject: Re: YouTube BBCode

thanks MG, i was so happy that i tried this immediately but what i was afraid of is exactly what it does...

{postrow.POST_ID} is not accepted in bbcode replacements, it is just not replaced so it still looks like {postrow.POST_ID} after making a post and viewing the source of the page

as far as i know it will accept anything from the language directory but that would be just about all it would accept? i hope not

thanks for the heads up sofar though

And what about using PHP switch in template?

http://area51.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=29448

Code: [Hide] [Select]

mt_rand(100000, 999999);

This will generate a random number you can attach to your ID.

Post subject: Re: YouTube BBCode

wow if that would work i ld be in seventh heaven

i m not sure how but i will try, see what it it will bring and report back (hopefully with a positive answer

)

would be great if this works .. it would only leave me with one similar (but more complicated to me) bug hunt

Also if you add (" allowfullscreen="true" )

This will allow the Board member to view the Video Full Screen on the Forum.
instead of going to "YouTube" for that Option.

Like So.

Code: [Hide] [Select]

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="h**p://***.youtube.com/v/{TEXT}"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="h**p://***.youtube.com/v/{TEXT}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" " allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

This is What I actually Use for the YouTube BBC Code. (My Post above was a addon to what was posted.)

This BBC code
a) Will center the Video in the Post
b) Allows Full Screen View
c) Make video Larger - width="640" height="385

BBCode usage:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v={IDENTIFIER}[/youtube]

HTML replacement: (Changed Thanks MG)

Code: [Hide] [Select]

<div style="margin: 0 auto; text-align: center;"><br><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{IDENTIFIER}&rel=en&fs=1&color1=0x234900&color2=0xd4d4d4"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/{IDENTIFIER}&rel=en&fs=1&color1=0x234900&color2=0xd4d4d4" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object></div><br />

Many thanks for sharing this tip.

Anyway I would suggest not to use the tag CENTER as it has been discouraged.

When I need to center some content I always use a DIV:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

<div style="margin: 0 auto; text-align: center;">YOURCONTENT</div>

Also make sure you close properly BR whether you add it => <br />

St0ney [ Sun 25 Nov, 2012 17:19 ]
Post subject: Re: YouTube BBCode

Thanks MG - Changed the Code above and on my Board.

I'll need to look at the code on my board, I'm sure I have a ton of <CENTER> Tags.
I'm a old HTML guy, so I'm not up to date on proper php coding.

Don't worry... HTML is changing day by day... it's impossible to be always up to date.

You can refer to this link to check your code against rules: http://validator.w3.org/

You don't have to be 100% compliant, but the most you can fix, the better it is... and you can reasonably expect that most browsers will display your site properly.
