Embed Youtube/videos in post

[Lazarus]

I'm pretty sure you can embed Youtube, and other video formats directly into a post so that you don't have to follow a link to the video.

Can we do that here???

Just asking...

 

[Keith]

You can do it on the main site, I imagine we would need some flash plugin for IPB to display it properly.

I'll have a lok around for one as it might be handy

That doesn't work, but found this:

<!--QuoteBegin-"Chris"+--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE ("Chris")</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Try -

ACP --> Management --> Add new BBCode

Custom BBCode Title: YouTube
Custom BBCode Description: Use this to embed a YouTube video
Custom BBCode Example: [youtube] VIDEO ID [/youtube]
Custom BBCode Tag: youtube
Use Option in tag? No
Custom BBCode Replacement:
CODE
<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{content}"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/{content}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I think the tag will only work if the backend is there for it.

Has anyone else posted vids before? If so ill check their code
