Auto Embed Video Clips v1.3
By Karl Benson
IntroductionA modification to automatically convert links from Youtube/Myspace/GoogleVideo/Metacafe/Stage6 and MANY other sites into embedded clips without the need for bbcode.
Just post a plain link to the page in the post and the mod will do the rest.
Its the ultimate user friendly way of posting clips, but safe from a security standpoint.
New in v1.3
Use bbcode to prevent links being converted (By this mod only)
Requires: Auto Convert Links to be enabled.
Note: Due to a problem/bug in SMF. If you try to post with only a link to a clip on any of the supported video sites in it, you will get an "empty message" error because there is no actual content to the post.
However I have posted a
Mod to Fix the issue for this and ALL other video clip embed/type mods.
Featureso Supports the following Video sites
- YouTube (Standard & Playlists)
> Global | Brasil | France | Ireland | Italia | Japan | Nederland | Polska | Espa United Kingdom
> Australia | Hong Kong | Mexico | New Zealand
- Google Video
> Global(.com) | Australia(.com.au) | United Kingdom(.co.uk) | Deutsch(.de) | Espaes)
> France(.fr) | Italia(.it) | Nederland(.nl) | Polska(.pl) | Canada(.ca)
- MetaCafe
- MySpaceTv
- Stage6 *(Requires Installation of Dixv Plugin)
- Veoh
- Gametrailers
- LiveLeak
- CellFish
- MyVideo.de
- ClipFish.de
- Liberio.it
- 123video.nl
- VSocial
- IFilm
- Sevenload
- Revver
- BrightCove
- Aniboom
- Vimeo
- Guba
- Glumbert
- Tudou
- dv.ouou
- Biku
- GameVideos
o Safe from security standpoint
- Properly validates/sanitizes/parses the video id before including it in the url
- Disables script access (allowScriptAccess="never")
o Use bbcode to prevent links being converted to embedded clips
o Includes a 'hard-coded' limit to the number of links PER PAGE that can be converted to embedded objects (default: 12)
- Prevents overloading pages with flash
- The limit ONLY applies to links converted by this mod (not other video clip mods)
There are no admin settings with this mod. To disable it, you must uninstall it.
InstallationInstallation affects source files only. No manual theme/language edits will be required
If you have installed any other mods that add video embedding functionality, like my YouTube BBCode mod,
those mods will take precedent for bbcoded links, and this mod will work as normal for non-bbcoded links
This mod is compatible with SMF 1.1.x and
with SMF 2.0 Beta 1 (which is currently available to Charter Members).
CustomizingThe mod has been designed to be fully functional 'out of the box' and not require any manual theme or language edits.
However some 'hardcoded' capability has been included for those who understand php/smf and maybe wish to customize the mod.
Note, any changes will prevent the mod from being automatically and fully uninstalled.
Enable/Disable Specific SitesEg to enable/disable Stage6
Open Sources/Subs.php
FIND
$embed[] = array(
'name' => 'Stage6',
'enabled' => 1,
Change number 1 to 0 to disable (1 = enabled, 0 = disabled)
And vice versa to enable for Stage6 and any of the other sites supported.
Increasing/Decreasing The Limit On The Number Of Links Converted Per Page (Not Recommended)
Open Sources/Subs.php
FIND
static $autoembedmax = 12 ;
Change 12 to another number
