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.

Thanks. I used your stuff as a template and added break.com and jibjab.com embedded video. We have a lot of jokesters...

i tend to add to it a couple times a month, when I find new services or have a request to add something new

Hi there I'm trying to find this but without success? Any pointers (line number?)

Thank you

Just search for "// You don't see the next line" vs the tabs in front of it. It's there, just looked at it in the 7.1.1 release.

Got it.

Got it and installed - and YouTube works fine. But for some reason the Google vid doesn't work.... the black space appears with the bottom menu, but nothing moving even if I click play.....

I posted the following into 7.1.1 (as found elsewhere, sorry it doesn't seem to be pasting very cleanly here!)
Anyone any ideas
