Embedding Youtube vids directly ino posts

[GadgetMaster]

I've seen Youtube videos embedded in posts on a few VBulletin sites before but am not sure how difficult it would be to implement.

One to look into for the future.

I suspect the feature is turned off. The above usually works, if memory serves.

After a quick Google search it seems you have to add that as a custom BB Code in the admin area.

Example:

Don't do that. If I want to waste my computer's resources and slow my browser down, I can go straight to Youtube.

Hmm.. You have a point.

If it could be switched off in your user profile it would be even better. It would be nice to have the option.

List item #173 -- fixed and removed.

The youtube code is now operational, thanks VERY much for the link to devhunters, because Google was having a bit of fun with me when I asked.

For anyone wondering how we embedded that here's a mini tutorial.

Go to the youtube video you want and copy it's URL which should look something like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQNkt3OFb-A

From this... take the bit after V= i.e: zQNkt3OFb-A

Paste this in between the youtube BBCODE tags like this:

[youtube ]   zQNkt3OFb-A   [ /youtube]   (without any spaces of course)

And bob's your uncle!

I hope that helped someone.
