Custom buttons for youtube and googlevideo in forum module

It’s not working for me. I’ve enabled the extension, but when I added the docid it just posts the code. any suggestions? for the record my forums are still 1.3.

you can see my thread here

The version of the forums you are running lacks the extension hooks that this utilizes. A great deal of hooks were added in 1.3.2 to give developers more control.

ah.. time to upgrade

Yep, and just in time as we released a new build a few moments ago. Of course, you’ll be following the version upgrade and not the build update instructions, but…fresh!

yeah! it works for youtube, but not for google.

Hi Linguist,

you should use

[googlevideo]code[/googlevideo]

in order to get the google video to work AND you should only use the docid. You added the docid with an additional language parameter (&hl=en), which is used from google only for their user interface, but is not required in order to embed the video in any other website. So in your case it the code in your post should look like this:

[googlevideo]1384277706451157121[/googlevideo]

Hope that works than.

I’m so stupid. I forgot the video part of googlevideo…

Any chance this could be added to the weblog module? I am using tinyMCE and it strips all my youtube embeds, and object code. Even clicking the ‘html’ button and manually adding it does not work.

this could be done as a plugin then.. will see if I can put it in a plugin the next few days.

Works fine 😊 http://www.zapruder.nl/forums/viewthread/8119/

Why not add Metacafe also?

(Personally I would have preferred the whole URL between brackets.)

And why not make it available with normal comments?

Any update on this? Hate to be a pest.

sorry I haven’t had the time for it yet, so please bear with me a couple of days 😉 I’ll let you know.

Ok I did it 😉. It’s not a plugin. I just updated the extension. It now features the support in the weblog entries and makes it possible to use either the complete url or the doc_id.

Great! Does this also mean the tags can be used in comments also?
