Youtube and BB code

[LA-MJ]

to get the link to work, remove the s from the link. it should be http (s is for secure things).

what?!

youtube uses https for a few years now I think

Yes, but forums don't usually form the link, if it's "https". The "s" is there for security things (e. g. encrypted connection).

That's why I recommend to remove the "s" or find a link "youtu.be", which makes the link to work as an Internet link.

The BBcode script cannot detect HTTPS links

That script sucks anyway due to lack of 'allowfullscreen'. You could fix everything with 2 lines of code btw

What do you want the most? Nice and shiny map upgrades or some bbcode which is just nice to have for your convenience?
You have to set priority on the workload and bbcode changes is at the bottom of the list even when it takes a couple of minutes to test'n'change

Sorry, plykkegaard.

I wasn't here to argue with anyone, just giving a tip how to get YouTube links to work.

[plykkegaard]

Which is perfectly fine and very nice of you

BB trigger:

Code: Select all

[youtube]http://{TEXT1}.youtube.com/watch?v={TEXT2}[/youtube]

BB result:

Code: Select all

<object width="480" height="360"><param name="movie" value="http://{TEXT1}.youtube.com/v/{TEXT2}&hl=en&fs=1&ap=&fmt=22"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://{TEXT1}.youtube.com/v/{TEXT2}&hl=en&fs=1&ap=&fmt=22" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="480" height="360"></embed></object>

Good luck

Please note that the BB trigger will refuse to work if you change http into https, and the given link is the opposite
PS: full screen is on (fs=1)

[LA-MJ]

fs=1 does nothing on chrome when the container has no allowfullscreen and flash sucks anyway
------------------

Well.. I would personally use regex like a pro*

But since BB code apparently is too dumbed down for that you need to make do with what you have

Code: Select all

[youtube]{IDENTIFIER1}://{IDENTIFIER2}.youtube.com/watch?v={IDENTIFIER3}[/youtube]

Code: Select all

<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/{IDENTIFIER3}?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" width="480" height="360"></iframe>

You could also use protocol-relative url (//) but I feel https is the way to go. Same thing applies to ditching flash.

* in case you are wondering:

Code: Select all

^(?:https?://)?(?:\w{2,3}\.)?(?:youtu\.be/|youtube\.\w{2,3}(?:/embed/|/v/|/watch\?(?:.+?&)?v=))([\w\d-]{11})(?:.*)$

Tested? If not I can check it tonight
