Some of the other forums have this tag and it is very handy when you want to directly show off videos to other people.

From what I figure, it shouldn't be that hard to implement this, so why not ??

**Netjet!** · 10-27-2010, 09:34 PM

Definitely a possibility. While other things take priority, I'll pass this on and see what can be done.

I tried to do it awhile back with html tags and it didn't work using youtube embed code.

**Sprite-** · 10-27-2010, 11:54 PM

I can make it quite easily. I will ask the rest of the staff to see if they object.

**Sprite-** · 10-28-2010, 12:24 AM

There, it has been done!

Edit: Well, it seems broken for me, but it's working for others, so yes, good job again, Sprite.

Also nice job Sprite

**aperson** · 10-28-2010, 01:05 AM

Fixed it for you edit your post to find out how

**bmah** · 10-28-2010, 01:06 AM

Most forums I know utilize the full youtube link. Only here and KBO are the places I know that only use the video ID. :/

Anyways, handy thing to have. Thanks.

Why not make it so that it works both ways?

**Sprite-** · 10-30-2010, 06:43 PM

If we use the whole link, people can abuse it and put any link in tags. This way is secure.

leonid · 10-30-2010, 06:54 PM

you could make it look for and replace every occurrence of /\[youtube\](http:\/\/)?(www\.)?youtube\.com\/watch\?v=/ with "[youtube]"

Then that wouldn't even be a BBCode, that would be a stream editor that has to be exec'ed whenever anyone posts.

leonid · 10-30-2010, 07:12 PM

but doesn't every url get replaced by [url]url[/url]? idk I have no idea how BBCode works so derp

**aperson** · 10-30-2010, 07:13 PM

Long story short: The current method is secure against any kind of injections and doesn't require anything extra to be done to parse the command, it isn't changing.
