YouTube BB Code (W3C-compliant!)
Mod Version: 1.3.5, by Fangs404 (Member) Fangs404 is offline
Developer Last Online: Sep 2019 I like it Show Printable Version Email this Page

vB Version: 3.8.x Rating: (19 votes - 4.79 average) Installs: 217
Released: 14 Jan 2009 Last Update: Never Downloads: 15
Not Supported Re-usable Code Translations  

I searched for a decent YouTube BB code tag here, but every single one of them uses the embed tag, which is an illegal XHTML tag. I set out to find a way to create a W3C-compliant YouTube BB code tag, and this is what you see here.

Title: YouTube
BB Code Tag Name: youtube
Replacement:
Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Example: [youtube]zlfKdbWwruY[/youtube]
Description: Embed a YouTube video. You <b>only</b> put the video ID in between the BB code tags (<b>NOT</b> the full URL!). Embedding <b>must</b> be enabled for the video!
Use Option: No
Image:

Important Note!
A link to the YouTube video is displayed if the YouTube video fails to load. There are a variety of reasons this might occur:

- You didn't properly enter the video ID between the BB code tags.
- You don't have the latest version of Flash.
- You are using Firefox and have a conflicting extension (AdBlock, NoScript, a Greasemonkey script, etc).
- The video doesn't allow embedding.
- You have some other problem on your end (corrupt browser install, spyware, virus, etc.).
- YouTube is currently having a problem.

Members simply paste what they see in the browser URL. How can I change it to accept full URL instead of just ID?

You'll need another (fancier) mod if you want to do this. Given vB3's current BBCode system, a simple BBCode can't achieve that unfortunately. Just tell your members how to properly use this BBCode.

I actually just checked YouTube's dimensions for regular and HQ, and it's 644x390 (HD is 858x508 for comparison). I went ahead and changed it.

Nope, as I said earlier, it's not possible with a simple BBCode mod. At least not until the vB3 team builds in a way to use PHP or something fancier than what we have available.
