Posting a YouTube Video

[bigtrekfan]

Alright everyone - I've got the YouTube integration complete.
I believe you'll find it pretty easy to use.

It's done just like you would with an image or URL - only with "yt" tags.

When you see a YouTube video, the link has a string of random letters/numbers at the end -- that's the only part you need.

For example, the url for a video might be www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIGrIfIj6aY
You would need the "WIGrIfIj6aY" portion of the address, and that's it.

If you're in the quick reply section, you have to add the "yt" tags manually -- or there is a YouTube button in the tags section of your full reply section now. Just highlight your video ID (the random letters/numbers) and hit the YouTube button.

This is what the code would look like when done properly (also note the YouTube button):



One more thing. There is currently a limit set of 2 videos per page of a thread. This is something we can adjust if needed, but the code writer recommended keeping it low.

If you have problems or questions, feel free to let me know!

Enjoy!!!

What confused me Dave was when you click on Preview, you only see the code.

I don't think it previews correctly Neil - only when you post. It's not just you in this case. If it were Dave having that problem, then I could believe he was the only one with it...
