youtube embedded

[Het Bosje]

Hi I'm testing with Ver2 RC3, in my old version 1.1.11 I had a button to ad a Flash movie.
And there was a mod to replace that by a youtube bbcode.
Is that ommited for version 2.0 or is ther a mod also?

AEVA?

You probably think I'm a pain in the neck, but after installation is there some configuration to do?

[casp3r]

Nope - as far as I can remember. Just create a post and add the link to the youtube video. Click 'Post' and the video should appear embedded in the post.

Alas not in my installation

There is no flash like button in the editor.

just copy paste the youtube link in message box .... n click post

[casp3r]

You don't get a button. Just add the url for the video under the line you have added and click post.

[Joker™]

yup .... thats how to add youtube video nice naa

[Het Bosje]

No I dont think its nice.
In 1.1.11 I had the flash button
And when you installed AEVA, the button created the bbcode and there you had to paste the link.
The result was

embedded in the text.
Thats nice don't you agree?

Don't you just mean the Youtube BBC-code MOD ?

[Het Bosje]

Yep, but did you see the warning?
It is deprecated and not advised to install.

[Im just trying to help out]...
I just installed aeva a few days ago.. at first I was lookong for the bbc button also.. but you don't need a button anymore... It still is embedded.. like you request...  the difference is that you do not have to click a button anymore.. you just paste the link.. it embedds automatically (just like it does in your example that you just posted)...

see the attached...  The link to the youtube video was just pasted into the post, and aeva automatically embeds the actual video...

[Het Bosje]

OK, thats great I noticed, but I want to give my users a button, they are used to such a button in 1.1.11

thanks for the feedback, but i think I stay wit 1.1.11 for a while.

[kat]

They'll soon get used to it.


They're not dumb.

[Het Bosje]

Ohhhh you should know.
They are lazy, perhaps I've made them.

[kat]

Make an announcement, or send a newsletter.


Then, if anyone complains, just say "Well, I told you. what are you, dumb?"

There are 3 ways of doing this.

3 ways and 2 mods!!!

The two mods are the Youtube bb code button which will still work despite being noted as non supported.

Mod number 2 is Aeva which gives you a whole gallery and the youtube function as mentioned previously.

Hang on that'sonly 2 mods.

The 3rd way is by creating a how to section for your forums members with instructions on how to use the various functions in the forum.
