This module allows embedding of YouTube, Google and Vimeo.com videos in
forum messages by using the [video]...[/video] bbcode tags. Here is an
example of how a video link would look in a message:

[video]http://www.youtube.com/v/abcDeFgHiJ1[/video]

The module does recognize multiple types of YouTube and Google URLs. So users
do not have to (and will not, in my experience ;-) post the actual video
resource URL as in the above example, but they can post URLs like these too:

[video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkFPbIEluEU&mode=related&search=[/video]

[video]http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1234567890123456789[/video]

The module can be told to automatically replace all recognized video URLs with
embedded videos. This is a special feature, which can be enabled through the
module settings screen. If you enable this feature then plain video URLs and
[url] surrounded video URLs will be replaced by embedded videos too.

Examples (note: space added after "http" to keep the link from being formatted):

http ://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkFPbIEluEU&mode=related&search=

[url]http ://www.youtube.com/v/abcDeFgHiJ1[/url]

http ://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1234567890123456789

Changelog:
----------
2009-05-21 v1.0.10

    - Added a language string "enter video url" for the URL prompt window.

2007-11-03 v1.0.9

    - Implemented the javascript_register hook.
      This requires Phorum 5.2.2 or newer.

2007-11-01 v1.0.8

- Honor the "disable bbcode for this post" flag (a feature of the
BBcode module).

2007-10-14 v1.0.7

- Added support for www.break.com and www.ebaumsworld.com URLs.

2007-07-09 v1.0.6

- Added support for www.vimeo.com and vimeo.com URLs.

2007-07-07 v1.0.5

- Added an option to display a video button in the Editor Tools bar.

2007-07-07 v1.0.4

- Added vimeo.com video support.

2007-06-13 v1.0.3

- Removed <object> tag from the embedding code, because that can cause
some weird conflicts with MSIE browsers in combination with JavaScript
code. I've seen conflicts with the Slimbox script (mootools based
lightbox) on my site, but there are other scripts which show the
same problem, judging the number of reports about the problem.

Since <embed> seems to work for all browsers that I tested, I stick
to that for now and leave the <object> code for the future.

2007-06-13 v1.0.2

- Made Google video support work for international Google mirrors too.

2007-06-13 v1.0.1

- Added Google video support.

2007-06-13 v1.0.0

- Initial revision

Thanks for the great mod. I have been breifly trying to edit your php to allow urls from ebaumsworld.com and break.com to appear as embedded... but I have been having trouble getting it to work. Has anyone done this already?

I can try to add them. I have no reason to make the list static to only a few video sites. So as long as they aren't handling johndoeshomepage.com and the target site allows to embed the movies on other pages, I'm fine with extending the matching code for it.

I did add some support for ebaumsworld and break, but one problem there is that the view URL does not have a direct relation to the name of the movie resource that is played. So for now, you will have to extract the URLs from the suggested embedding code of those sites. The formats that are supported now are these (space added after "http" to keep them visible as full URLs):

http: //embed.break.com/MzgyMDk3
http: //www.ebaumsworld.com/2006/07/talking-cats.flv

The results are visible at my development site: [secretsauce.phorum.org]

An idea that I have is to allow view URLs for those sites as well and let Phorum try to load those web pages and extract the neccessary info when posting the message. That way it can be made possible to allow posting view URLs like:

http: //www.break.com/index/robocop-fights-neo.html
http: //www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/397/

I will upload the new mod version (1.0.7) to the first message of this thread.

wow, thanks for the quick fix! It would be nice to eventually be able to use the actual page url, but no rush... thanks for your help.

Great mod :)
In the future, is it possible to accept the dailymotion video ?

It's not urgency at all :)

I hope not too many, so I can keep up with them =)
I want to add one to promote my juggling hobby: [www.juggletube.com]
I'm thinking about some extensible system for adding video sites, to make things more structured. But first find some time for hacking that up.

Released version 1.0.8. This version honors the "disable bbcode for this post" flag (a new feature from the main BBcode module).
