How to safely allow embedded YouTube videos?

[malmazan]

I just tried your bbcode, but ... for some reason all youtube videos on my site are showing this video:
http://www.youtube.com/v/PEI2wuPN2uA&hl=es

The main screen on bb was showing an example instead of the code. I have edited my original message. It should work now

Well, i tried bbcode that is recommended here and full url of video did not work.

The one I use is

<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}&amp;hl=es" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

Code like

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xpcUxwpOQ_A&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xpcUxwpOQ_A&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

even though just pasting "xpcUxwpOQ_A" would work

Is there a way to add bbcode for youtube to do this:

[media]full-url[/media] ?

Thanks

I found that even of users paste the complete YouTube code, the extra parts are stripped and the bb code still works.

Sorry, there is no function to do this.

Actually, it can be done. A conditional can be used on a template to show icons for custom BB on specific forums, though those users that learn the code will be able to use it on the rest of the forums.

Sorry, there is no function to do this. This requires modifying the code. We cannot officially support code modifications or forums running modified code, however you can try searching or asking for help with this over at www.vbulletin.org.

Would there be a way via templates to have the YouTube icon only show on specific forums?

(I.e., on some sub-forums I hide icons on the editor)

I'm trying to have the capability of embedding youtube videos only on the off-topic sub-forum.

Ok sussed, it, i changed the "Use {option}" function to NO in the BBmanager

Thanks for your help

[peterska2]

Right. You cannot do [youtube=the video id]some text[/youtube] It has to be [youtube]the video id[/youtube]

I copied and pasted from the first page the code:-
<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>

Then i set two attempts to view, one with the text and the other using the wrap around from my button that i set

[peterska2]

ok thanks

You won't find the movie with your code - this is what is being output

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Mini V's Fiat 500"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Mini V's Fiat 500" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object></div>

What exactly did you input and what exactly do you have for your replacement for the BBCode?

The link is useless then If we can't see the post then we are still guessing.

Ok, i've set the permissions to allow non registered users access for a short time, hopefully so that you can check my problem

The link is useless then If we can't see the post then we are still guessing.

Seriously though, recheck all your setup. If you are convinced it is correct then you will need to ask at vBulletin.org for more help or make it so that we can view the post to see exactly what the code is doing then we know why it is not working.
