Can you embed Youtube videos in threads 7?

(Actually can it be done in classic 6.7.2 as well?)

Thanks

You can with Threads 7.0 and 7.1 though the ubbcode addon at UBBDev.

Thanks. That wouldn't post a "security" problem or anything else possibly nasty would it? What would the user enter to embed something like that in a post?

Can you should me a page anywhere where this is in action?

Thanks

The embed bbcodes actually just read a string of text, so the user would simply enter:
[youtube]youtubeid[/youtube]

This is a GREAT security measure, as they can embed content to your site without being allowed to enter html. The bbcodes at UBBDev cannot allow a user to do anything mallicous, as it only allows text and numbers (well, mine does as it uses a regex to filter what is entered for increased security).

I have the bbcodes on my forum, a specific posting:
Video: North American Union Huge step in world government and your enslavement

I just posted my latest set of bbcodes here which have been severely tested and beaten for months lol

Thank you.
Last question for now

Are these codes really easy to implement (for someone not particularly technical?)

Thanks

edit libs/ubbthreads.inc.php
Find:


Then add them after that line; any you wish to use.

YouTube IDs can contain underscores. The regex validation for youtube is ([a-zA-Z0-9-]+) and should be changed to ([_a-zA-Z0-9-]+).

This'll do break.com

The latest version of my Embedding Code accounts for underlines and underscores in YouTube videos.
