How is this even 'exploration'? It's a loving house you've already been in you weirdo!

I noticed several threads on UER that have Youtube video's posted right inside the post, without having to go to Youtube to see the video. How do you do that in UER? Thanks!

Here's an example of the BBCode format. Note that you do not need to close the [youtube] tag.


[youtube=FiARsQSlzDc]

Just paste the part of the URL that comes after "watch?v=", in this example it's "FiARsQSlzDc"

Tried it. Didn't work.

that bunch of text following "youtube=" is the id of your youtube video. that's what's needed to make that youtube code work. it's important to consider that sometimes a youtube url will contain some extranneous data. for instance, if your yourtube url looks like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zr183lk-wQk&feature=grec_index

your id is the part of the url located between

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

and

&feature=grec_index

so the id of this video is: zr183lk-wQk

therefore the code to embed it would be

[youtube=zr183lk-wQk]

One of the problems I ran into was how you got to the video changes the identifier. If you got to the video from a link in, say, a blog, the ID will be different than if you went to Youtube.com, searched and found the vid. Searching and finding yields a working ID, whereas getting to the vid from a link doesn't.

Hope that helps.
