[dramsay059d]

having trouble with my u tube cuting in n out how can i fix it, dramsay059@gmail.com

[GuruDarkZen]

Thank You Sir ! Clear and Concise !

[MILKYPISTOL]

Hi Alex, I'm still learning here. Thanks for posting! : )

[edhiett]

Excellent ty!

[ShedskinTalon]

Any ideas how to go about something similar to this in PHPBB2?

[krophiquon]

@ShedskinTalon yes, upgrade to phpBB 3. I just did it with almost zero PHP experience, it wasn't that hard.

[midnabreu]

thank you so much man, this is AWESOME!

[LFactoRve]

thanks work exelent

[hadjimitevrouslan]

thanx mate.good work

[SandwichandDrink]

Just did it and it worked. Thanks!

[JCGucci]

This was very helpful. Thank you.

[Smartzenegger]

Thanks, it works, even with the new tube's iframe code (of course).

But I can't find your url 'n code text you promised, your link is broken...

Anyway, great vid!

[Itsmerut]

hey i got a question, can i also make a permission for this code? like they can only post on a specific section?

[Itsmerut]

if text doesnt work, do SIMPLETEXT

[bolly12345]

Thank you for your help

[Zziezou]

Geesh! I'm glad he knows what he's talking about. Can he slow down a bit? I can't understand him! Muttering thru sentences way too fast.

[Rudybow]

@Zziezou The cool thing is, you can rewind, fast forward and watch the video as you please.

[shizoor]

Works perfectly and now I know how bbcodes work for other things too. Nice one

[ModdingNation1]

Nevermind, you just put another Token at the end that you don't mention in the embed code

[ModdingNation1]

What about when the url makes extra code that doesn't transfer to the embeded code, like '&feature=channel_video_title' thats sometimes at the end? Because if they put it in, it won't work.

[Zebix]

Excellent video, thank you.

Two things though :

- The URL where to get the code leads to a 404 as of today

- The phpbb topic has limited permission. I signed in with my phpbb.com account and "i am not authorised to read this forum".

[danyialito]

you are great thank you

[GlyndwrMeredith]

Very useful. Thank you for sharing.

[southseapirate1]

Thank You! You sir are full of awesome!

[RockstahAmps]

Hey Alex, thank you! It worked like a charm in phpbb 3.0.8!

[samfru1992]

[samfru1992]

@samfru1992 I tried to get the code working, but the video came up as a white screen box thing. So i deleted the BB code and went to re put the code in, now it doesnt show anything it comes up with. [youtube][/youtube] :S

[DjkodoMusic]

somtimes there some texts at the end of the URL like '&feature=related'

[Mogtepyigsoloth]

@DjkodoMusic

Always delete the ampersand (&) and any text to the right of it.

[paul30003]

Well presented tutorial.

Easy to follow and works great.

Time to do some more bb coding for other stuff

Thanks.

[CREGGYAS]

[Daftums]

[Neurolanis]

Thanks, very helpful! :D

[ImGoingToJerseyShore]

super annoying click sound... this video could have been a lot less complicated dude.

[madsen339]

Thanx :) Works fine in 3.0.8 ! Use the INTTEXT.

[Giayrus]

What happened to your website, dude?

Having problems?

[00kaito]

Great job. Thanks

[Mtbfanro]

[MrSkinnyBill]

[andrewstormchaser]

worked perfectly, thank you so much!!

[lavergotaUSA]

Beautiful man, This video rocks thanks for sharing the lessons and the love.

Thanks Again Alex West, keep this wonderful endevours of yours to enlighthen the Open sourse community with more wisdom.

LavergotaUSA forever.

[herkfsu]

Thanks for the video. I did everything you did and it is just giving me a white box with no video when i make a post. please help if you know whats the problem. Thanks.

[steveG23]

Excellent video... really great format and very easy to follow. I really dig the way took the long way to the end and build the viewer's knowledge along the way.

Thanks!

[thesqaanalyst]

What if the width and height are different? Being that YT does not have a "standard" w/h just a common one.

[boiGeniusbeats]

thanx! this really helped me out!

[wasseocamnr1]

Works without problem. See lapstick.com forum. Thanks.

[wasseocamnr1]

Cheers Alex,

phpbb noob will try it out.

[anuragkushwaha]

thanks

nice work

its very helpfull

[ShotBurn]

Nice, simple easy to use and apply to any other tags one needs to make. Good vid thanks.

[knownchild]

i followed your instructions exactly and have researched this for days it seems nobody has got it to work on the latest build and if they have they never said how.

[knownchild]

Not working in 3.0.7 pl1, but good work!

Would be nice if you made one for the latest version of phpbb.

[alexwestconsulting]

HI,

I have not tested it against that build, but I pretty much guarantee that it still works. It is pretty much version proof. Over the months I've had numerous people say that it doesn't work, but it has ALWAYS turned out that it still does.

[taranenik]

@alexwestconsulting

Great, but if i chose {TEXT} i got secuity warrning. soo i use {IDENTIFIER}

Is that any problem\?

[leahriordan]

@knownchild What I've noticed is that it doesn't work with the "new" coding, but you can check for the "old" embed code and it works just fine. :)

[Gijs0078]

@knownchild

It doesn't work with 3.0.9 either...

[Itsmerut]

@Gijs0078 it does, replace text2 in this video with simpletext and thats all. and rename text1 back to text

[BikerChapterOnline]

this doesent work for me :( phpBB 3.0.7 PL-1 forum version

 Wkq9PjqTtCI?fs=1&hl= is this the code that i must replace with {TEXT} ?

[bamenrique]

Awesome tutorial, thanks alot :-)

[exoticisland]

thanks!

[lfgigi]

thanks! Very helpful!

[knishua]

have phpbb3 forum offline. need to upload a video that is offline. how is it possible

[zace2k9]

Where's the rest of the video? it was cut off when explaining the rest of the stuff

[Oceanfloats]

Very awesome and thank you, I have this bookmarked..

because the next thing I have to figure out is where to install this in the directory.

thanks again!

[Hljott]

Can't get the URL{text} bit to work, just the {text} (the video modifier). Any help?

[altamer]

Thank You!

[wtfbollos]

9 dislikes wtf..

[user1027]

Whoops - I spoke too soon. It seems that *any* edit after the initial substitution won't render any added tags or changes. I have to delete the post and re-post for changes and/or editions to take effect.

[user1027]

At first it didn't appear to work - but I made some mistakes while defining the youtube BBCode. I discovered I had to delete posts I mode while the made version was in effect - even *after* deleting the cache. I had to delete/recreate the posts themselves.

[wildbill20102012]

oops never mind about the video size.. I figured it out.. :->

[wildbill20102012]

Thanks, Alex.. great video.. one question tho. is there a way to make the video fit better?.. it doesn't use all space in the posted message..

[ConradTunod]

great video thanks for the tutorial!

[crampoos]

Just exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks a lot. Well presented as well.

[Night19mare]

Awesome guide mate! Fixed it as I watched the video - Thanks for the help! :-)

Though the really loud clicking sounds was kinda annoying :p

[complexxl9]

ok, this works, but how do I make so users can change video quality on the embedded video?

or how do I embed video at specific locked video quality?

[Pivotman61]

Your awesome *Subbed*

[ceosunlimited]

awesome video

[conniff44]

This is crap. It might work, but the instruction is rubbish, just clicking all over the place without saying what you are actually doing.

[flykicks14]

lol i now know how a blond feels

I'm just soo lost!

maybe its the fact that I don't know what embed means can some1 explai this like im a 4yr old please

[KevinSNEAKERHEAD]

Awesome video. Very informative, and professionally described - only suggestion would be to take out the clicking noises (they woke the neighborhood).

12 thumbs up and I only have two hands!

[Bilalianman]

I have found you must remove anything after the code in the URL in order for the BB Code to work.

[nazmihakimie]

many thanks

it works like a charm!

[FLStudioRemake]

thanks



[ldbrewe77]

worked perfect for me...can we add a button to the new post that will add the [youtube][/youtube] automatically??

[T0LYANCHEG]

Спасибо !!!

[janklamer]

too bad your audio is sooo slabby - at fragments it's simply not understandable cuz you cant hear it.

[fanupdate]

Works perfectly though changed {TEXT} to {INTTEXT} due to recommendation from the ACP. Thanks for the upload ^^

[KarlaKanin79]

Great tutorial to follow. It didn't work for me though. Tried to even copy the code from the website, but didn't work either.

[Jemalacane]

How do I allow full screen videos?

[BenevolentErt]

@anticharisma I had the same message pop up, so used the {SIMPLETEXT} token and it still works.

[butterflieq]

Wonderful walk through! You helped me with the issue I was running into on my site and taught me a few new tricks. =)

[highercalling88]

It works, thanks man.

[RidDiqckbadBat]

Thanks dude that was very helüful for me.

You are the best :P

[CarArtzDave]

Fantastic video, thanks. I would point out to viewers though, that in MY case, I had to make sure the "{TEXT}" was in upper case. "{text}" did not work for me. Figured it out eventually. Thanks again.

Dave.

[bobueland]

Hey man, you're making wonderful screencasts. Succint and to the point. You also use greenscreen it seems, that's going the extra mile. Five thumbs up!

[VideoIdaho]

Awesome video, five stars!! Got the dreaded white box first try then I figured out I hadn't properly labeled the {TEXT} boxes 1 and 2 for both code sections. Fixed that and viola it works perfectly! Thanks!!

[cage66]

How do you make links open a new tab?

[needer1230]

Thank you, this was really helpfull!

[Kaede5]

it won't work, I keep getting a white box instead of the video... can someone help me?

[contentina]

I can't seem to get it to work when I set the embedding with the Web Browser address bar url.

When I tweak the code to use the EMBED URL (which is different from the Adress Bar one,, it works,,,

Do you have any info on that?

[Forgoten0Lore]

And I used the exact same code that you gave us on your site

Any help please??

[Zyrelock]

Anyone know why this is happening?

[cooleycole93]

Thanks!

[antonarset]

Thank you very much!

[rogerdouglass]

Great tip. To CornellisGod, double check that you're not replacing too many parameters in the 'embed' code. I did that the first time.

[CornellisGod]

Doesn't work for me. All I get is a blank box instead...

[alexwestconsulting]

I guarantee this still works. I you send me your code i will tell you what is wrong.

[alexreality]

@alexwestconsulting

I've sent you an e-mail with my code. It embeds empty white box instead of a video. I wonder what may be wrong. Maybe some other settings that forbid showing flash videos...

[xTrMWeb]

@CornellisGod i do too..

[contentina]

Thanks for the tips :) This is neat and very revealing
