youtube bbcode questions should be asked in the bbcode stickie at the top of this forum.

the old code still works, you just have to choose the old style from the youtube page.

also, you can create a new bbocdeo that uses the iframe embed code.

I do believe it is already done in the bbcode topic above.

This works!!!!
Thanks a lot!!!!!!

Hi, I have had the youtube BBcode working in the past, but have recently bridged the forum into Joomla.
Now the existing youtube vids are squashed vertically.

This is what I've been using so far:

BBCode:

Code: Select all

[youtube]{URL}[/youtube]

HTML:

Code: Select all

<script language="Javascript">
var a = '{URL}';
var temp = new Array();
temp = a.split('?v=');
document.write('<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/' + temp[1] + '&rel=0&color1=0xd6d6d6&color2=0xf0f0f0&border=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/' + temp[1] + '&rel=0&color1=0xd6d6d6&color2=0xf0f0f0&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>');
</script>

Helpline:

Code: Select all

Usage: [youtube]URL TO VIDEO[/youtube]

Any ideas why I'm getting these squashed youtube videos?
Here's an example:

YouTube API has changed a bit.

I would suggest updating the sticky on the YouTube BBCode.

What I am currently using.
BBCode usage:

Code: Select all

[youtube]{SIMPLETEXT}[/youtube]

HTML replacement:

Code: Select all

<object width="560" height="315">
<param name="movie" value="https://youtube.googleapis.com/v/{SIMPLETEXT}?version=3&fs=1"</param>
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param>
<embed src="https://youtube.googleapis.com/v/{SIMPLETEXT}?version=3&fs=1"
  type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
  allowfullscreen="true"
  allowscriptaccess="always"
  iv_load_policy="3"
  autohide="1"
  fs="1"
  width="560" height="315">

Hello,

I have noticed lately depending what your browser picks up either "http://www.you" or "https://www.you" using the entire address not the just the string. Address's with "https://" do not display the video, for my own posting I just remove the "s" and then it displays the video fine.

My question I prefer using the entire address it makes it easy to copy and paste, is there a way to write the BBCode with like a IF then statement or BBCode equivalent?

Basically no matter what the address is "https" or "http" it will still display the video, either by automatically removing the "s" or allowing both to work with a check statement to play both address versions?

I can add two YouTube button one for secure one for none secure but I think that will confuse that average user.

Any Ideas?

Any Idea in how to do the same, but using

Code: Select all

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Asm7WOi8ux8[/youtube]

Instead of

Code: Select all

[youtube]Asm7WOi8ux8[/youtube]

Because all the youtube videos already posted in my site are with the complete address.

Thanks.

This is the May-2017, phpBB 3.2 working version:

Code: Select all

[youtube]{IDENTIFIER}://{SIMPLETEXT1}youtube.com/watch?v={IDENTIFIER2}[/youtube]

Code: Select all

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/{IDENTIFIER2}?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

The user must simply insert the YouTube URL (no "embed").
