How to add Video

vot

First of all you have to enable the [media] BB-code for a forum in AdminCP:
AdminCP -> Forum -> Forums -> Edit
-> Allow to use [audio] [video] [flash] and other multimedia code: Yes


If multimedia code is enabled, you can easily add a video!

1) Go to "advanced" mode in your post editor,
2) Click the "Video" button,
3) Insert the video URL.
4) Optionally you can set the width/height of the video thumbnail.



Supprted video-sites:

• YOUTUBE.COM
• YOUTU.BE ( new )
• VIDEO.GOOGLE.COM ( new )
• RUTUBE.RU ( new )
• XUITE.NET ( new )
• youku.com
• tudou.com
• v.ku6.com
• mofile.com
• video.sina.com.cn
• sohu.com
• www.ouou.com
• www.56.com
  

Alternative method:

It is possible to add a video manually.
Just insert the next code into your post:
(replace the sample URL with your real URL!)

1. [media=x,500,375]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ip6OBdOnSLU&feature=g-vrec&context=G246ec1eRVAAAAAAAAAw[/media]

Copy the Code

The result:

Login to ACP then follow Users -> User Groups. Choose ready user group and click Edit. Now you must expand Forum Related to Post related permissons and find "Allow to use [audio] [video] [flash] and other multimedia code" and finally mark Yes this option.

Hi vot and Kaaleth,

I have enable the audo,video,flash and other multimedia function according to the
instruction above. But the the "Graffiti", "Paste Content from word" and "add quote function" are
still missing. How can I enable them too? Thanks a lot.

Please see the image below.

You have to switch to advanced mode. If you want to see these bbcode on general mode, you must go to ACP -> Styles -> Editor Settings -> BB-Code and add new. If you want to add "code", you have to add new tag named as "code" and thats all. It will work the same.

Unfortunately, when you switch to advenced mode, you will see some problems with editor, becouse duplicates are not working.

I tried this thread before joining the forum.  Even after enabling the multimedia code, I couldn't embed YouTube video. I inserted the YouTube URL into video and the video appears in post (I have WYSIWYG enabled by default) with [video] and [/video] at both ends. But when I post the reply, only the video tags are seen. I even tried using codes like [media], [audio], [video] without success. I tried all these as admin.

I somehow managed to create a YouTube BB code and it is working. Only thing is that I had to edit the code settings to change size from 100% to 50 % for better appearance.
