Topic: Add embed Youtube

1. Is it possible to embed Youtube to forum? If possible, can we add youtube BBCODE?

2. How to enable BBCODE in signature?

Thank you in advance!

I've not been able to do either of these Kang, although it IS possible to use HTML in signature.

Hi Kang,

Interesting question. The embedded code contains a lot of forbidden tags. As soon as you allow them in the sanitizing code, pasting the embedded HTML is likely to give a working embedding but we sanitize the content because a lot of attackers try to abuse the forum for inserting attacking code.

A BBCODE solution would be nice. I can think of a special form with a textarea that we offer to the user where the user can paste them embedded html code and upon close of that form, the system tries to parse the html embedding code into an array of fields for the BBCODE presentation.

Sounds like a lot of work, how often would you need it and which restrictions would you like to apply to the embedded code? Eg, fullscreen HD display in a forum thread seems to be inapropriate. Should display take place in the thread or in a new window?

Any other suggestions?

you can add youtube to bbcode http://nullnuke.netai.net/forum.php?op=topic&topic=20&forum=17&min=0#22

in sanitize.class.php

find var $skip_action_tag     = array( '' );

and below add

var $skip_clickable_tag     = array( 'youtube', 'img' );

then the ghetto bit, in function makeClickable( &$string ) { under $delim = preg_quote( $delim ); add



        
        and for the bbcode replacements use
        
        

And where do we put the bbcode replacements?
