Title: Update for embedded video


Zombo - August 25, 2006 01:26 AM (GMT)
A little update,

you can now post embedded videos (ie, youtube) in all video sections of the forum (member, collab, private). It won't work in other sections!!! (except testing zone)

To do so:

Get the embed code from the youtube video (located at the top right of the navigation screen of the youtube video).

Don't abuse it!!! It won't load the videos before they're played, but it can slow down the page if there's too many videos! I'll remove the feature if people abuse it!!!

When posting:

use the tags [doHTML][/doHTML]

Example with a youtube video:

CODE
[doHTML]<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WUFos-HrHag"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WUFos-HrHag" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>[/doHTML]


You can test it in the Testing Zone too.

So now you can watch your videos without even going to youtube!!! :banana::pickle:

Is this limited to just videos or can we put other HTML shnuff?

any HTML, but its mainly targeted at embedded videos, thats why its only enabled in videos sections.

No,

If you open a regular youtube link, look to the right

There's a section called "About this Video"

copy the "Embed" link
