Videoplug Extension for Forum
This extension allows you to add youtube and googlevideo to Expression Engine forum posts. To use it in the forum a user just needs to add:
[youtube]docid[/youtube] or
[googlevideo]docid[/googlevideo]
in their post. There are two functions included. The first one is to get the code translated into the correct html object code and the second one adds some user friendly buttons to the forum post interface. Here you can see it working.
Expression Engine Forum Module 1.3.2 is required in order to run that extension.
Installation Instructions
- Unzip the zip file in your extenstion directory.
- Go to Admin->Utilities->Extension Manager and "Enable Extension".
- Enable the Extension.

I found out part of my problem was running an older version of the forums. I upgraded to the most recent version and youtube videos are fine. However google video isn't working. I tried a couple of different videos and invcluding or not including the =en at the end of the tag.
Anyhow my forum thread is: http://eflgeek.com/index.php/forums/viewthread/73
Thanks for your help

lars!
first off, this software is great! can i paypal you a few bucks to say thanks?
secondly, i am running EE 1.5.0. do i need to upgrade to 1.5.2 to make this work?
basically, all i did was download your zip file, unzip it and put the extension in the proper folder on my server. i didn't alter anything. was i supposed to?
the extension uploaded perfectly, but the embedding still isn't working. here is my test:

Anyone told me lately you are awesome. I followed the directions and it worked the first time! Only tried with YouTube, but I'm assuming both will work.
Totally awesome!

How would I go about adding another video site, such as Photobucket? I can send over the extension file, I added site to video_sites array, then added a button, and finally created the function.
Everything works, other than the rendering of the [photobucket] tags.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Lars -
Can we get Blip.tv added to this plugin? That would be AWESOME.
Also, this may be a bit more complicated, but how can we go about embedding video from our OWN hosted flash player on our site? If you can email me, I can go into more detail.
This looks fantastic.

Thanks for the plug-in!
Strange thing - it worked at first, and the original posts I placed still work, but now I get the "box" from Google Video, but the video does not play within it - the box is blank (black)
see lower part of:

Regarding my last comment about the vid plug not working - I tried a youtube number and it works - but goog video does not - I suspect it is a goog problem, although it has been going on for days.

Just wondering if this can be used in conjunction with the EE wiki?
How difficult would it be to update the extension to function in the wiki's world?

Are you planning to upgrade it for the new EE 2.0 and Discussion Forum Module 3.0?
I'm anxiously looking for a solution for this!

Are there any specifications for the file extensions used in this source code? It looks too simple to be true. Thanks for sharing!
