We need a code for the full youtube URL, not only the video ID. phpBB3 RC1 parses the URL before BBCode and it shows a clickable Youtube URL instead if the video. We need another solution.

That code is useless from a user-friendly point of view because it's based on the video ID and not on the video URL.We would need a BBCode based on the video URL.

Ya know guys you could really stop complaining and spend 5 minutes doing it yourself. Here's the BBcode for the Full YouTube URL.

Code: Select all

[youtube]{TEXT}[/youtube]

Code: Select all

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="{TEXT}"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="{TEXT}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

I didnt mean to sound negative and I am not a programmer at all.

Regarding your code, its for the "embeded" YouTube URL, what most of us need is a code for the regular URL because that is what people are posting in the forum. Else you have to instruct them to do this and that you know. Also I already have tons of links to the regular youtube url.

Excuse me for "complaining", but your code does not work in phpBB3 RC1. The embed youtube code uses a different URL (watch?v=XXX - /v/XXXX). Also, phpBB parses the youtube URL before parsing the BBCode, so at this point we CAN'T use the Youtube URL and we have to put the video ID, wich is a useless solution from the user point of view.

We are not complaining, we are asking for help to solve this.

Ok, so you want to have a link to the page of the video? Ok...

BBCODE:

Code: Select all

[youtube]{TEXT}[/youtube]
HTML REPLACEMENT:

Code: Select all

<a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v={TEXT}">Click here to view this video on Youtube.com</a>
OR:

Code: Select all

<a href="{TEXT}">Click here to view this video on Youtube.com</a>
For the first html replacement, you will need to just supply the id, for the second, the whole url is needed. I hope one of these helped. And by the way, this is just like the [url] tag, just a bit different.

The [youtube]{TEXT}[/youtube] solution, being "text" the full youtube URL, does NOT work in phpBB3 RC1. As stated many times before, phpBB3 RC1 parses the URL before BBCodes.
