Youtube Tab for youtube videos

[sstylianou1976]

Here is another idea worth thinking about as the site grows as members will like to see video clips of Ayia Napa on the site how about a youtube button feature as other sites feature it for Vbulletin based forums so here are two screenshots on how it looks like guys.

For sites that use this feature take out the rest of the link and wrap it up using the youtube tab on how it will look in the end.
For example

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9wLKvXMxZ0

and it should be like this on the first screen shot.


and a preview what to expect when a youtube link is wrapped up using the youtube button.



Another idea I think that might liven up the forum abit so hope admin will take it aboard since it is a cool feature to use.

I thought I revive this thread since I know there are videos uploaded on youtube from Ayia Napa so if the admin has seen this post please add it you will be crazy not to use this facility since it would benefit the board many other forums have it so as a friend please heed my free advice and get it on board soon I am here to help not criticise guys just want this site to succeed.

@ Lorraine here is a short guide how to get the tab working my friend.

1. Login to your AdminCP.

2. Scroll down the left frame to the settings group "Custom BB Codes"

3. Click the "Add New BB Code" link

4. You'll now be presented with a page with 6 text boxes and an option button.



5. Enter the values as given below :

Title : YouTube

Tag : youtube

Replacement :

<object width="425" height="355">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}"></param>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}"
   type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"
   width="425" height="355"></embed>
</object>

Example : [youtube]U-zj0Y_1cNQ[/youtube]

Description :

Embed YouTube videos in your post.
You just have to put the video ID of the video to be embedded
inside the YouTube BBCode, and it will automatically parse it
into the flash video.

Use {option} : No

Button Image : << path/to/your/youtube/icon/image >> (like )



6. Now click the [Save] button.

Hope this helps Lorraine my friend as I believe it will transform the forum.
