On several forums on the interweb, I've been seeing BB codes or custom codes that embed Youtube movies in a safe and simple way. The syntax is:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tJV6Zj69HY[/youtube]

I believe the script first verifies if the first part of the link is "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" and then takes the code (video ID) behind it. It is then processed into an embedded object according to the youtube embedding code (in this case, the HTML output of the script would be:



This way, the forum still has full control over what is embedded (ie. only Youtube videos and no harmful stuff) and people can embed Tubey's from here.

Actually, I think that would add a lot of functionality to a visually orientated forum as a Game Creators one.

I did the same thing for Overdrive1000.com - Added in a parser into the band info (using Regular Expressions), which picked up the video, and embedded it straight into the page.

Don't get too excited about getting that functionality for these forums, though, I don't know how much work Rich has to do now that he's only freelancing for TGC, and I think there's other things higher up on the priority list...

Yea like that nasy PM system.

Sorry.

Anywho, that's kind of cool. Don't know why I never tought of that.

I used the same thing on my website what i unfortunally lost in format

I worked really hard on it.. And it came out really nice!

Hate when computer needs to be formatted..
