AutoEmbedding - Youtube etc

[D-Roc]

I've just installed an automatic media embedding system on the forum. Basically this will mean easier and quicker youtube (etc) video posting.

Previously to get youtube videos to display in a post you had to past a snippet of the youtube code in-between these youtube tags: [youtube*]code went here*[/youtube]

Now all you have to do is paste the entire URL of the page the video is on and your video will display wrapped in nice forum colours like so:

YouTube - Lost - Season 4 Promo

This currently works with youtube and a few other media providers - although I have to look into the dailymotion code as that's currently not working properly.

Remember if you're unsure about how to use this and you need to practice anything, feel free to use the Testing forum in the helpdesk.



EDIT:
-If you notice any errors associated with this, please let me know via helpdesk.
-This new embedding system will only work with new posts and edited posts - so your previous youtube videos won'y be changed unless you edit them (although there's not much need to anyway).
