Tonight I've written a bit of code to allow the easy embedding of Youtube videos in posts.
This is very simple to use, first you get the URL from Youtube, and copy the 10 digit video ID number from it, as highlighted in red here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8sOyBNICIU
Then, simply enclose the Video ID in 'Youtube' tags. You can do this by clicking the Youtube button at the top of the posting window, which will create the tags for you, or, you can manually type them yourself, like so:
Code: Select all
[Youtube]L8sOyBNICIU[/Youtube]
[youtube]L8sOyBNICIU[/youtube]
The good thing about this is that though the videos appear inline in your forum posts, they're still pulled in from Youtube, so it won't zap our bandwidth or cause any speed issues.
Hope its of some use
