A Friendly YouTube BBC XHMTL1.2

[GantMan]

Link to Mod

Augmentation of Marlon's mod. I found people kept pasting the ENTIRE link to the youtube page.

So I wrote up the RegEx to clean up the link and have it auto format to find the v= ID.

So now [youtube=425,350]hxxp:youtube.com/watch?v=H69eCYcDcuQ [nonactive][/youtube]
will turn itself into
[youtube=425,350]H69eCYcDcuQ[/youtube]

This, plus some cleanup suggestions from the community to allow for correct installation of the youtube GIF.

Hi

I've just installed this but at the top of the forum I get this text ...

$txt['youtube'] = 'YouTube';

How do I get rid of that?

Link is www.psnfriends.net

Thanks in advance.

[Chris369]

hmm made the text go really big in IE7 as well.

I tried the old one (the Marlon one) and both problems were in that too :/

[Simplemachines Cowboy]

AWESOME!
Works perfectly.

[cekcok]

well,

maybe my connection is too bad..btw Thank for this mod

awesome mod

[JeanYves]

very good this modification !
it is much more simple to clic the youtube url and just paste, rather the search the ID !
great !

and what about the same for dailymotion ?

thanks again, great job !

[AllMassive]

THX !

Working fine with my SMF 1.1.2 .

I've edited line 22 to say this:

Code Select Expand

                'content' => '<object width="$2" height="$3"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/$1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/$1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="$2" height="$3"></embed></object><br><a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/$1">http://www.youtube.com/v/$1</a>',

So that now the link appears underneath the video, because I've been having a problem.

Y'see any of the members who are using FireFox 1.5 can't get it to work. Only Firefox 2.0... I'll paste some of the tihngs they've said:

It thinks the link to the vid and play button is elsewhere than where it's shown. You gotta do some rapid clicking around the video area til you finally get linked to the actual video.

When you move your mouse, that's the only time the finger cursor is shown, and it flickers.

I've tried recoding the thing so that the embed tag is identical to the youtube one (just with the relevant $1, $2 and $3 in place) but it's not made a difference. I wonder what in the world could be going wrong.

[cristianx]

it only works if I add the number 425,350 [youtube=425,350]http://youtube.com/watch?v=H69eCYcDcuQ [nofollow][/youtube] which I'm not sure what is it!

Without this number and trying with the full URL does not work, can anyone help?

thanks

cristian

PS apart from thsi working fine on 1.1.2

[jploaiza]

[jploaiza]

[glennk]

I get the error mentioned above

at the top of the forum I get this text ...

$txt['youtube'] = 'YouTube';

and all my forum users are complaining of big text.

[tenderobject]

the mod is working on firefox and safari mac. i love it.. although wehn i checked it on Ie there is an error in the status bar.
dunno why..

i still have the mod that marlon made in my SMF. do i need to leave it there or unintall it as well?

thanks fofrr the mod

[neilbombd]

it only works if I add the number 425,350

Yes, I would like to get rid of the need for 425,350, is there any way to do this?  I tried editing the XML file to take out those numbers, but it didn't seem to do the trick.

Alternatively, it should also parse

, please.  I've just migrated from another board, and that's how all my links are.  Cheers.

[gilipter]

I have the Marion's mod working ok. I just want to update it with the new code that checks the URL (you know, the [youtube=425,350]http://youtube.com/watch?v=H69eCYcDcuQ [nofollow][/youtube] thing). How should I do this?
Thanks!

Hi

I've just installed this but at the top of the forum I get this text ...

How do I get rid of that?

Thanks in advance.

It's the same with me. Could you perhaps give me a tip how I could get rid of it?

[Air_Cooled_Nut]

This mod has been working fine for me and my users (SMF 1.1.2 and IE6, "Ancient and Rusted" theme).  I had to manually install it, of course.

When looking through my Forum Error log I saw a BUNCH of these:

Code Select Expand

8: Undefined index: youtube
File: /.../theddb/forums/Themes/default/languages/Post.english-utf8.php (main sub template - eval?)
Line: 780

What's this mean?  What's happening and how do I fix it?

[Matthew Schenker]

This is an excellent modification!

I run a woodworking forum, and there are a lot of YouTube instructional videos out there that my members can use. It's great to be able to embed videos right in posts!

One question: does this eat up a lot of bandwidth? Or is it using the YouTube bandwidth?

Thanks!

[mark7144]

May I ask in simple terms how the mod works? I'm curious to whether you'll need to update it frequently to keep up with YouTube's site.

I have the Marion's mod working ok. I just want to update it with the new code that checks the URL (you know, the [youtube=425,350]http://youtube.com/watch?v=H69eCYcDcuQ[/youtube] thing). How should I do this?
Thanks!

Open: Sources/Subs.php

Find: 'tag' => 'youtube',

Delete that array section and then simply replace with:

Code Select Expand

array(
        'tag' => 'youtube',
                'type' => 'unparsed_commas_content',
                'test' => '\d+,\d+\]',
                'content' => '<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="$2" height="$3" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/$1"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/$1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param></object><!-- Credz BleachEatingFreaks.com -->',
                'validate' => create_function('&$tag, &$data, $disabled', '
if (isset($disabled[\'url\']))
$tag[\'content\'] = \'$1\';
$pattern = \'/http:\/\/.+v=(.+)(&.+)*/i\';
if (preg_match($pattern, $data[0], $matches))
$data[0] = $matches[1];'),
'disabled_content' => '<a href="$1" target="_blank">$1</a>',
),

One question: does this eat up a lot of bandwidth? Or is it using the YouTube bandwidth?

Nope, just YouTube.

[TriniTek]

I found a fix to the problem with the text $txt['youtube'] = 'YouTube'; appearing at the top of the page.

First open the Modifications.*.php file under Themes, Default, Languages.  Look for the tag and make sure ?> falls after $txt['youtube'] = 'YouTube';

[Matthew Schenker]

mark7144,
Thanks for your help here!  This is an excellent modification.  I love that the video runs in the message, and also that readers can get all the YouTube menu options right in the message window.

Great work!

Hi

I've just installed this but at the top of the forum I get this text ...

$txt['youtube'] = 'YouTube';

How do I get rid of that?

Link is www.psnfriends.net [nofollow]

Thanks in advance.

I am having same problem.. and cant find detail solution on this.. can anyone help please.. thanks..

[TrueSatan]

Check your Modifications.english.php in your themes language directory and ensure that:

Code Select Expand

?>

...appears once only and at the end of the file on a line of its own...edit accordingly to make this so if needed.

[tonzi]

Check your Modifications.english.php in your themes language directory and ensure that:

Code Select Expand

?>

...appears once only and at the end of the file on a line of its own...edit accordingly to make this so if needed.

i tried this out but still it appears above and when i get rid of ?>
it gives me a template error

[tonzi]

damn i tried uninstalling this but $txt['youtube'] = 'YouTube';  remained on  my forum now its meesed help!!!

[TrueSatan]

Look at you Modifications.english.php file in the language directory of your theme. You should have:

Code Select Expand

?>

...shown once only and at the end of the file on a line of its own...edit to make this so.

N.B. Your query suggests that you may have ignored fail reports when installing or uninstalling mods...don't. They are there for a reason and should not be ignored.

[tonzi]

but whenever i get rid of ?>
and placed it after $txt['youtube'] = 'YouTube';
i get a template parse error.

[TrueSatan]

Please note I didn't say "get rid of". You need to follow the directions I gave above exactly. I said:

Look at you Modifications.english.php file in the language directory of your theme. You should have:

Code Select Expand

?>

...shown once only and at the end of the file on a line of its own...edit to make this so.

[tonzi]

yah works fine now. what i did is to get rid of this instead.

Code Select Expand

$txt['youtube'] = 'YouTube';"

[TrueSatan]

If that code is removed and the mod still works you must have installed it more than once. A single instance of the code you quote is required for the mod to work properly and, as stated above, the file must have the following line once only, at the end of the file, and on a line of its own:

Code Select Expand

?>

[desimatrix]

is it possible that developer of this mod modify this and update the mod so that people like me with no technical knowhow can have less difficulty...

or detail on what to do to get rid of that YouTube mark..

[Chantal Matar]

Hi guys, I have installed 2 different You Tube mods on my 1.1.3 forum (obviously not at the same time) they were both successful and I could upload videos, but they just don't play.

Why?

http://ps3smalltalk.com/index.php?topic=1052.new#new

Do I need to set permissions or anything like that?  I have looked everywhere.

Your advice please.   

[Ozz13]

can't get to work.. what is it we do with these 2 files?
yt_bbc_xhtml_1.2.xml
package-info.xml

Also, I'm having a problem with:
Language Integration

To make the mod work with your language, simply open Modifications.*.php, where * is the language you wish to integrate the mod into, and add $txt['youtube'] = 'YouTube'; to its own line in the file. I don't see this modification.english.php file anywhere

Theme Integration

Theme integration for this mod is fairly straight forward.  Simply copy youtube.gif from the default theme's images directory into your custom theme's images directory.  If your custom theme happens to use its own Post.template.php, open that template file and find (I don't see this post.template.php anywhere)

Should I create this .php files, adding the code below, and upload?  If so, which folder should I upload to?

Code:

         'flash' => array('code' => 'flash', 'before' => 'hxxp:',%20'after'%20=>%20' [nonactive]', 'description' => $txt[433]),


Following that code, add:

Code:

         'youtube' => array('code' => 'youtube', 'before' => '[youtube=425,350]', 'after' => '[/youtube]', 'description' => $txt['youtube']),

[itsacoaster]

All right, I've been trying to get it to work so that you don't have to specify the length and width.  I can't get it to work.  This is what I have so far:

array(
               

'tag' => 'youtube',
               

'type' => 'unparsed_content',
               

'content' => '<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/$1">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/$1"></param>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param></object>',
               

'validate' => create_function('&$tag, &$data, $disabled', '

if (isset($disabled[\'url\']))

$tag[\'content\'] = \'$1\';

$pattern = \'/http:\/\/.+v=(.+)(&.+)*/i\';

if (preg_match($pattern, $data[0], $matches))

$data[0] = $matches[1];'),

'disabled_content' => '<a href="$1" target="_blank">$1</a>',
            ),

I changed the content type and removed the 'test' parameter.

This returns an object box of the correct dimensions, but the regex isn't yanking out the video ID from the URL like it should, so I end up with a tag like:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZLsJyfN0ICU">

I didn't know the first thing about regexp until I started messing with it tonight, so I probably don't know what I'm doing. But perhaps it will spur someone to get an idea?
