Title: Embedded Youtube Videos
Post by: Hoops McCann on October 03, 2008, 10:35:12 PM

I added a modification today that allows a user to embed and watch a youtube video in their posts. It works with all of the themes.
To use this theme, you need to first find the youtube video that you want to embed, and then do the following:

Example:

1.) Find a Youtube video that you want to embed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmMpXNfSsCk
     Copy the link.

2.) Click on the YouTube icon: (http://www.amarkintime.org/forum/Themes/Darkster/images/bbc/youtube.gif)

3.) Paste the link you originally copied in step 1 and paste it between [ youtube ] and [ /youtube ].

So, in this case, the finished code looks like this:

Code:

Code: [Select]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmMpXNfSsCk

You could also just use this (i.e. the final part with the video ID), but it doesn't matter either way:

Code: [Select]

tmMpXNfSsCk

4.) This is what the output should look like:

 tmMpXNfSsCk
