Embed YouTube?

Hey,

I'd like to embed a YouTube clip into one of the article pages is there a way to do it using BBCODE?

I would use HTML but if I have both selected it defaults to using HTML for the layout and I need BR tags for new lines etc.

Cheers

This is a standard feature of the new Contentteller 2.1 series Winking Face

To patch 2.0, open /classes/class_system.php in an editor and add after:

   function code( $var )

     {

         global $system, $database;


the following:

               $var = preg_replace( "/\[youtube\]([a-zA-Z0-9-_]+)\[\/youtube\]/", "<object width=\"425\" height=\"350\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"   http://www.youtube.com/v/\\1\"></param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"></param><embed src=\"   http://www.youtube.com/v/\\1\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\"></embed></object>", $var );


Now you can use the following code to embed a YouTube video:

[youtube]VIDEO ID[/youtube]


You need to replace VIDEO ID with the id of the video. You find the video id here: youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO ID
