Or is there another way to embed a youtube video into a post? Copying and pasting the code from youtube doesnt work.

Nope. I tried installing a mod to allow for youtube embedding but it didn't work for whatever reason. It's back on my todo list!

Don't they have Youtube video encoding on Facebook? People are always posting youtube vids you can watch on FB.

Anyone found an easy phpbb mod to get YouTube imbedding to work?

Something that lets you do the following:

[youtube] link here [/youtube]

I found one mod that required that some other convoluted mod be installed first that I didn't want to risk as the convoluted mod affected a TON of functionality here.

Ok, Kal...here is the way you do it. I just did it in like 10 sec. It is super simple assuming you have the same version I have...which you might not.

http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2007/08/adding_a_youtube_tag_to_phpbb3_1/

It does take a bit of user skill as the youtube video ID is required instead of just copying and pasting the embed code.

So instead of posting this:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yd9XnyNGXGs&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yd9XnyNGXGs&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

You simply post this:

[youtube]yd9XnyNGXGs[/youtube]

Which requires looking in the original youtube url and copying and pasting that nonsense video ID.

I can confirm that it works on phpBB 3.0.6.

THanks Greg. phpBB 3 offers easy ways to add new BBCodes. There's no programming required. Unfortunately we're running phpBB 2 here with over 80 mods installed. Going to phpBB 3 would require recreating the 80 or so mods (hundreds of hours of work and testing).

Hence the reason I'd rather stick with phpBB 2 for the time being. Wink
