[Deprecated, use Aeva] YouTube BBCode v2.6

[Yahmez]

Thanks for the reply!
I used Karl's script and it worked perfectly. Avea is working well too. Kudos.

Minimal changes required to get this thing running on RC2 .


1) Copy install-2.0.rc1.xml, paste it.
2) Rename the copied version install-2.0.rc2.xml.
3) In install-2.0.rc2.xml, go to the very bottom. Find:
 

Code Select Expand

<file name="$sourcedir/Subs-Editor.php">
<operation>
<search position="after"><![CDATA[ 'flash' => array('code' => 'flash', 'before' => '[flash=200,200]', 'after' => '[/flash]', 'description' => $txt['flash']),]]></search>
<add><![CDATA[
'youtube' => array('code' => 'youtube', 'before' => '[youtube]', 'after' => '[/youtube]', 'description' => $txt['youtube']),
]]></add>
</operation>
</file>


4) Replace that code with:

Code Select Expand

<file name="$sourcedir/Subs-Editor.php">
<operation>
<search position="after"><![CDATA[
array(
'image' => 'flash',
'code' => 'flash',
'before' => '[flash=200,200]',
'after' => '[/flash]',
'description' => $txt['flash']
),
]]></search>
<add><![CDATA[
array(
'image' => 'youtube',
'code' => 'youtube',
'before' => '[youtube]',
'after' => '[/youtube]',
'description' => $txt['youtube']
),
]]></add>
</operation>
</file>


5) Save the file, package it as a zip, and upload. Enjoy! =)

Someone may have already upped a fix, and that's fine . I just wanted to contribute to the community a bit.. (should release some of his own creations as mods..)

[Nao 尚]

I would release a RC2 version, but I'm not sure it's worth spending time on it when I have plans to rewrite the mod to use a minimal Aeva engine...

[Arantor]

People do like using [youtube] at times. Can come in handy on some types of forum where they don't explicitly want auto linkage.

[Nao 尚]

I don't know... Probably needs being discussed.
I think it's better to not require any tag around the YT urls. Feels more natural to me.

[Arantor]

Then you would need to think about a converter for all the folks who've used this one (me included)

[Nao 尚]

There's already a converter script... It was written by Karl. It's both in the YTBBC page and in the Aeva package, I believe. I may include it in the admin area at some point. No time to deal with all of this for now, though.

This mod is no longer working, not sure why? I would assume it has to do with the SMF update to 1.1.2.

Can anyone help on fixing this please? I just don't see any video, it is blank. I cant uninstall it either.

thank you

I hope you mean 1.1.11!

Yes sorry that is what I meant

What do you think is the better way to go?

1-Remove this mod and reinstall it again? (I hope this won't create any problems for all the Youtube clips that have already been posted)

or


2-Try to apply the manual edits for the new SMF version?



Thanks a lot


I hope you mean 1.1.11!

I think I got to the bottom of this:

When the video has a size specified (by default, the youtube bbc, gives it a width and length) the video doesn't show.

So I have to modify the following line in post.template.php

'youtube' => array('code' => 'youtube', 'before' => '[youtube=425,350]', 'after' => '[/youtube]', '

to remove the sizes.


But the problem is, what about all the other hundreds of videos that are already posted with a size specified??? how can I change those?

my solution is merely a temporary work-around. I need this to work like before, where clicking the 'Youtube' BBC would give you [youtube=425,350][/youtube] and you would just insert a youtube video ID in it.

Not sure why this stopped working all of a sudden?

[Nao 尚]

The easy solution...?

Uninstall YTBBC
Install Aeva Media (look into the last page of the Aeva topic)
Download Aeva 7.0.706 (i.e. the older version), extract the converter script, run it.
You should be good.

[Arantor]

* Arantor thinks the really easy solution would be a single SQL query on the database, but maybe he's a bit warped on the whole "easy/hard" thing...

[Nao 尚]

Well, of course but what about very large forums?

Plus, it'd have to be a regex query... Not too comfortable with these (on SQL I mean).

Or, if the size is always the same -->

Code Select Expand

UPDATE smf_messages SET body=REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(body, '[youtube]', ''), '[youtube=425,350]', ''), '[/youtube]', '') WHERE body LIKE '%youtube%';

I guess that would work...? And it could be fast, too. (I'm not sure whether it'd be faster without the WHERE clause.)

[Arantor]

Ah, I was talking about [youtube=425,350] => [youtube] only, my bad, which is a single replace op.

[Nao 尚]

Oh... Right.

Then yeah, definitely, it'd be faster that way.

Code Select Expand

UPDATE smf_messages SET body=REPLACE(body, '[youtube=425,350]', '[youtube]');

(At this point, removing the WHERE is definitely faster, I guess.)

DOES THIS WORK FOR 2.0 RC2 NOW

[Nao 尚]

YES, WITH A FEW CHANGES!
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO APPLY THEM, JUST USE AEVA!

[Afro]

I USE AEVA but it would be good to have YOUTUBE bbc logo on the post page.

what changes needs  to be done ?

[Nao 尚]

Just read the topic.

And really, YT logo? It's soooo 2000's
