I just wrote some code for a phpBB installation (I guess it's a MOD, sort-of) that I thought people could pitch-in to if they find it useful:

This MOD replaces URLs to youTube videos with their embedded counterparts.

Edit 'includes/bbcode.php' and find:
Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract
  1. function make_clickable($text)
  2. {
  3.     $text = preg_replace('#(script|about|applet|activex|chrome):#is', "\\1:", $text);
  4.  
  5.     // pad it with a space so we can match things at the start of the 1st line.
  6.     $ret = ' ' . $text;

then add:

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract
  1.    // youtube code..
  2.     $ret = preg_replace("#(^|[\n ]|<a(.*?)>)http://(www\.)?youtube\.com/watch\?v=([a-zA-Z0-9\-_]+)(</a>)?#im",' <!-- BEGIN youtube --><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/$4"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/$4" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br /><a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=$4" target="_blank">http://youtube.com/watch?v=$4</a><!-- END youtube -->', $ret);

This works with plaintext URLs and already linked URLs, and with or without the "www".

If anyone wants to improve this code, my suggestion would be to not embed the video if it's quoted.

Any takers?

Maybe after we're done here one of the mods would drop this in the snippets section?

Cheers,
Kieran

If someone linked to the youtube video, they probably want it to stay a link. This should be implemented as a custom BBcode tag.

Hi,
youtube auto-embedding is perfect for me. Could you write a similar code for google videos auto-embedding?
Thank you

I'll make you a deal - if you try to write it and post it here, I'll help fix it if it's broken 8)

:D OK I've tried

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract
$ret = preg_replace("#(^|[\n ]|<a(.*?)>)http://video.google.com/videoplay\?docid=([a-zA-Z0-9\-_]+)(</a>)?#im",'<!-- BEGIN GVideo --><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=$4"></param><embed src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=$4" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object></p><!-- END Gvideo -->', $ret);


The first part is ok, I can see the player, but don't know how to link a movie... :?

not quite.. if you check out google's embed code, it's quite different from youtube:

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract
  1. // google video code...
  2. $ret = preg_replace("#(^|[\n ]|<a(.*?)>)http://video.google.com/videoplay\?docid=([0-9]+)(</a>)?#im",'<!-- BEGIN GVideo --><embed style="width:400px; height:326px;" id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=$3"> </embed><br /><a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=$3" target="_blank">http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=$3</a><!-- END Gvideo -->', $ret);

also, the "docid" is only numeric in GV's case

freebies for all!.
Would be cool for a newer version that you just have to select from which video hosting site your linking (like the 5 biggest one)
instead of having 5 mods

You can just paste these next to one another in 'includes/bbcode.php'... I don't know how to make it any simpler :-)

Hello Kieran,

I changed the bbcode.php, but I don't see the videoplayer of youtube on my page.
What am I doing wrong?

Hello Kieran,

Yes I just had to insert the complete embed code. I thought I only had to write down an url.
Thanks,

Johanna :D

I just type in the URL... the code above should transform it into the embed code
