Wouldn't it be easier if it was just [y] instead of [youtube]?

Lets find out

rockNroll · April 14th, 2011, 02:36 PM

Or [yhd].

I like them as "youtube", only because it's that much easier for all of the others that are set up the same way (like "smugmug", "vimeo", "hulu", and a few others). I did combine the code a few weeks ago for youtube and youtubehd, so they both do the exact same thing at this point.

Alex thinks ahead!

FWIW, I hate the forums that automatically recognize YT links and make embedded videos out of them. For example, I tried to make some of my text link to a YT video on Kawiforums and it not only converted the link to a video and split my paragraph down the middle but it also completely hid the text in between my [URL] tags. Of course, it's possible to make the automatic embed recognize when it's inside URL tags and NOT embed, so I don't know why they didn't think of that (it couldn't be too hard).

True, it was most likely just overlooked. Wouldn't hurt to tell the forum admin. Also, I didn't know we had vimeo and hulu tags here. Is there a list somewhere?

Sticky thread at the top of the videos section, and/or "bbcode" link at the bottom of the page when you are editing a thread/post.

It might be harder than you think. The bbcode replacement code in vbulletin looks for x and replaces it with y; it's pretty basic. Coding it up so that the x shouldn't work if it's between z would require adding custom code that many folks would avoid (and would require additional work every time the forum software was updated).
