YouTube BBCode

[jmurrayhead]

I used the following to allow users to use BBCode to display YouTube videos:

Tag: yt

Replacement:

<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>

This didn't work, displaying only a white space where the video should be. I checked the page source and this is what it gave me:

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ <br />
Mz5ds5hV2HU<br />
"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ <br />
Mz5ds5hV2HU<br />
" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object></div>

Notice the <br />'s that were inserted? Not sure why it would do this. It displays properly in the Admin CP, however. Any ideas?

Wow...I just found out what the problem was.

When I click the button for this BBCode, the code was placed like this:

[yt]
HFMASFLF123
[/yt]

This generates the <br />'s. However, if I change it to this:

[yt]HFMASFLF123[/yt]

It works. Darn text formatting threw me off there

Thanks anyway!
