I got Bob to add a few new BBCode tags for the forum, they allow us to embed videos from google, youtube and dailymotion instead of linking them. If you have any other video sites you want added let me know and I can probably do that too if the site allows it.
Anyways, here is a short tutorial on how they work, if you have any problems just ask. They are very finiky, and have to be exact. So if a google video has a "-" in front of the number (some do) it needs to be there.
The tags are "yt" for youtube and "gv" for google videos. Put the id of the video inbetween the tags.
Examples:
Google
{gv}6853212049360771006{/gv}
Youtube
{yt}ssDQ_Y4JzUo{/yt}
Just replace the {} with square brackets []
Daily Motion video ( http://www.dailymotion.com ) can be done with "dmv"
This one is a bit more of a pain though as it's embedding id is different then the one used to view it on there site. You need to pull the link from the "embed video" box at the bottom
example:
{dmv}http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/3z40NfHZ7hUSz1o8X{/dmv}
With {} replaced by []
End result will be like this:
Google:
[gv]6853212049360771006[/gv]
Youtube:
[yt]ssDQ_Y4JzUo[/yt]
Daily Motion:
[dmv]http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/3z40NfHZ7hUSz1o8X[/dmv]
Have fun!
