MikuruX Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Recently, I've been going to back to a anime community website who uses another forum system (I think it's vBulletin) and I've seen a feature which allowed people to post youtube or google videos in their forum posts. I was wondering if this will ever be a feature for IPB in a later release or if there is a way to do this in the current build.Before anyone tells me to do so, IPSBeyond.com is down and so I can't post nothing there at the moment so Im only left with posting about this here. Sorry if this something that I should not ask here. :(
bfarber Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 I've seen dozens (literally) of youtube and google video custom bbcodes - it's already possible with the custom bbcode manager in the ACP.
kirov Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 well i think that it would worth the efort if the bbcode can work for all the video sites
bfarber Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 How do you propose that? :blink: Some use flash, while others show the video (avi, mpeg, wmv format). The urls and url structures are different. It would be quite difficult to have a universal video player (outside of coding your own flash loader that could detect and handle the different formats).
MikuruX Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 The thing is with the custom bbcode manager, I have absolutely no idea how to go about doing this. I'm still a noob at adding my own custom stuff on IPB and as of right now, the only thing I've managed to show with this method is a link to the video Im trying to put into my posts.Is there anyway you could show an example of how this could be done bfarber?
AndyF Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 If you search around the usual IPB resource sites, there are plenty of custom BB code mods about :)
MikuruX Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Actually, I just found a method that was used on what seems to be an older version of IPB but it still works on the current IPB. The only problem I have is putting the youtube button I have next to the code tag button (like whats up above this text box).I followed the methods at this site: http://novia.com.sg/forums/?showtopic=12501I wonder if I did something wrong which would result in the small youtube button to not show.
kirov Posted December 7, 2007 Posted December 7, 2007 bfarber I think there was a mod that just did that on ipsbeyond
