Is it possible to embed flash video into forum post? [Solved=Yes you can!] | ||
| freebird73717 posted 2009 Jan 24 09:41 | ||
I was curious if it was possible to embed flash video like that from youtube into forum posts. It is possible on other forums by using the code
There is a mod for this at http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=375183 Any possible chance of this getting added to videohelps forums? I have a video software tutorial I would like to embed into a post. Thanks for considering Baldrick. | ||

| We may end up with Vbulletin instead of phpBB. :) | ||

| That's OK. You can do the same thing with Vbulletin

No mod required for phpbb3 because the admin can create custom BBcodes. | ||

| Well that's even better. If Baldrick feels like going to the trouble to do so it would be great. Would be a neat feature to have.
I'm just going to post a link to download that software flash tutorial that I created. After uploading it to youtube You can hardly read the onscreen instructions that I created using camstudio. Having the capability to embed youtube into posts could be useful though... Anyways... it was just a thought/request.... | ||

| Here is a custom bbcode for phpbb3 that works great for youtube.
BBCode usage [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v={SIMPLETEXT}[/youtube] HTML replacement <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{SIMPLETEXT}"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/{SIMPLETEXT}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> Help line [youtube]url[/youtube] Works a beauty on a 'very small' forum I run. | ||

You shouldn't use {TEXT} as a token within HTML code when creating a custom bbcode as that is vulnerable to attack hence the reason it says next to the token:
{SIMPLETEXT} or {IDENTIFIER} which will limit the allowable characters. See here why: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting | ||

| Hmm. I didn't know that. Thanks! I will change my code asap!
edit -- okay changed my above post with new code. | ||

| You know, we could use this new feature for another video contest. Call the advertisers! | ||
| Baldrick posted 2009 Mar 07 06:52 | ||
| stiltman: All imdb videos seems to be limited to US only. "This video is not available in your country". So I don't think I will add it. | ||
| stiltman posted 2009 Mar 07 10:50 | ||
Hmm, I didn't know that. We can always find the video some place else (aka youtube) and I do like this new feature! Thanks again Baldrick | ||

| This is a great new feature. |
