    ...post YouTube videos?

    Hi,
    How do I create a forum where I can post YouTube videos?

    The clips come in the format:
    Code:
     
    <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/AHscAKI5VsI"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/AHscAKI5VsI" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
    I have tried enabling HTML in the forum, but it still doesn't seem to work...
    Thanks,

    Neil

      I have tried this as well, but all I get is the youtube text I pasted. HTML is set to on. I followed the link and added the bb code via admin.cp exactly as you explained.

          Did you follow the link in post #2?
          I have it running on two of my boards. You do not need to enable html.

              I think my users would more likely want to post the whole URL instead of just a bit of it.....
              Is there a way to accomplish this?
              Less confusing that way.

                  Custom BB code.

                  Title: Youtube
                  Tag: youtube
                  Replacement:
                  Code:
                  <table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="466">
                    <tr><td class="smallfont"><strong>NOTICE:</strong>  This video is hosted at YouTube.com . If the video does not play, wait a minute or try again later.</div></td></tr>
                    <tr><td class="smallfont" align="right"><a href="#" onclick="return toggle_collapse('{param}')"></a><a href="#" onclick="return toggle_collapse('{param}')"> I AGREE</a></td></tr>
                    <tbody id="collapseobj_{param}" style="display:none;"><tr><td class="alt1" align="center"><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object></td></tr></tbody>
                  </table>
                  Example: [youtube]adjks[/youtube]


                  This will put a nice box in your forum page, the user then can click the "I Agree" and the video will drop down and they can play it.
                  When you are at youtube.com you can look at the link and see the code. Just put the code into the tags. example below.
                  http://youtube.com/watch?v=FZdB_8QDUx4
                  Copy that bold code then enter it in the tags
                  [youtube]FZdB_8QDUx4[/youtube]

                  It will look like this:

                    is there any way to have it so the user can post the whole code instead of just the snippet? I think this would be less confusing for users.

                      Does anyone know if when you view a youtube video on your own site, does this add to the hit counter on YouTube?

                        I have tried the examples in posts #2 and #9. Should I see something in the 'post/reply to new thread' box to put the [youtube][/youtube] tags into the message box?

                          No Bob - you simply type [youtube]youtube ref#[/youtube] in your post and it will show the youtube video on your www site.

                            Thanks. I doubt many of my users will understand, but I will see how it goes. Maybe it will need a sticky with instructions.
