Default Embed YouTube videos in your messages

Thanks to a suggestion by Invisbl and some guidance from theMusicMan it is now possible to embed YouTube videos into your post/messages:

This system uses the video ID number, there is no need to include the full URL.

You can find the video ID by looking at the url:

A typical YouTube URL looks like this:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=24HwbleM7vY

The "video ID" is the part after v=

Wrapping this up, you embed the video by wrapping the video ID in yt tags.

For example:
(yt)24HwbleM7vY(/yt)

The above BB Code will embed video 24HwbleM7vY from YouTube (once the () are replaced with [] to ensure the code is parsed by the BB Code parser).


Enjoy,
Drammy
