Post media?

How do we post videos ( youTube ) ect on the forums?

Hi,

It's not possible to do this yet, but you can post a link.

Find /components/com_chronoforums/chronoforums/helpers/bbcode.php

after line 132 add:

            '/\[youtube\](.*?)\[\/youtube\]/msi',

after line 154 add:

            '<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/\1?showinfo=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>',

This will interpret the BB code tage of [youtube]VIDEO ID[/youtube]

Give me a few more mins and ill post the changes needed to add corresponding button to the editor.

as promised the code to add the button to the editor:

Find /components/com_chronoforums/chronoforums/helpers/bbeditor.php

line 39 replace with:
[code]var bbtags = new Array('','','','','','','

','

','

','[ /code]','[list]','[/list]','[list=]','[/list]','','','','[flash=]', '[/flash]','','','
This is private content
','[youtube]','[/youtube]');

- please remove the space in [ /code]

Insert after line 56:

<a title="<?php echo l_('CHRONOFORUMS_INSERT_YOUTUBE'); ?>: [youtube]youtube_video_id[/youtube]" onclick="bbstyle(24); return false;" name="addbbcode24" accesskey="v" class="btn btn-default btn-sm gcoreTooltip"><i class="fa fa-youtube-o fa-fw fa-lg"></i></a>

You are responsible for providing and setting your own button icon.

and based on the last post apparently these is a bug to report regarding escaping special chars in this forum....

line 39 that has the list of tags, just add '[youtube]','[/youtube]' to the end.

And the font they use to supply the button icons has a youtube icon already included so if you change the class from fa-youtube-o to read fa-youtube-play it will automatically add the buttons icon. If you add other video services icon class names can be found here: http://astronautweb.co/snippet/font-awesome/

Thanks for the changes, I have added this to the next update!
