Only shows bbcode and not the video.

I had the same problem. I ended up finding a partial workaround, and implementing the BBCode in functions.inc.php only.

Users have to manually enter their YouTube videos, for now. But I'll find the workaround and post it here when I do.

Here is my code:

Code:

$patterns[] = "#\\[youtube]([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)\\[/youtube]#Si"; $replacements[] = '<object width="425" height="350" class="youtube"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/\\1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/\\1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>';

Just above this line in functions.inc.php

Code:

$message = preg_replace($patterns, $replacements, $message);

NOTE: I changed my youtube link to https to support SSL. If you aren't using SSL, feel free to change the <param> and <embed> src attributes back to "http://www.youtube.com"

To use this, you simply enter this in when posting a thread or reply:

Code:

[youtube]movie-ID-here[/youtube]

Still working to determine where the break-down is, since I'd love to have the prompt as well. My users just seem happy to be able to embed YouTube movies.

Some youtube id's simply do not work though and as OP said, only the bbcode appears.

For example, if you try this one on a forum that has the youtube mod:



This is not an issue unique to xmb as even the playground:
https://www.bbcode.org/playground.php

results in just the bbcode showing for the id above.

Oh snap! Good look lottos, going to implement this on my board.
