speedturtle Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Apparently there are two ways to allow embedding of videos in forums: 1) BB code - several developers have created BB codes such as: ... - specifically for youtube videos... or [m]...[/m] - supports wider range of videos. You will need to download the code and install it via AdminCP before it can be used. See http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=219139 2) Automatic Media Embedding - this is really neat. It "smartly scans new and edited posts for URLs from a customisable variety of web sites (i.e. YouTube or Amazon or about 200 others). If it finds a match, AME will 'transform' the URL into inline embedded media without your users ever having to even think about it." This is a vbulletin plugin that needs to be installed - see http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=202476 Any possibility of doing one of the above?

speedturtle Posted April 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 I don't think there is a bb code for doing that Now that Hawk Host Forums is using IPB, embedding a video is easily done by clicking on the "Insert media" button in RTE.

True I guess it's time to post a daily video from youtube or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
