We have a great new feature where our users can now embed videos from all kinds of different sites into their posts. You don 't even have to know how to use HTML coding. We have made it as easy as possible. PLEASE, stick to the topics. If we are discussing a fighter and there is a pertinent interview with them on YouTube, embed the video. Do not abuse this privilege or it WILL be disabled! Anyways, here is how easy it is to embed your favorite videos:
First, keep in mind that throughout this explanation, you will see code examples that are intentionally not correct. If we used the correct code, it would actually embed the video and you couldn?t see any of the code snippets. Therefore, whenever you see a code snippet such as {*youtube}video_id{*/youtube}, you should know that you would actually not include the ?*?. Sorry for the confusion, but you?ll see what we mean.
- For YouTube use: {*youtube}video_id{*/youtube} (without the "*"--we have to use it in the examples or it would actually embed a video); For example if the link on your browser displays then your video_id is cdXTDovB9K8, that means, again just the number at the end of the link!
- For Google Video use: {*google}video_id{*/google} (again, without the "*"--we have to use it in the examples or it would actually embed a video); For example if the link on your browser displays video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3406925506469882756 then your video_id is -3406925506469882756, that means the characters that come after "docid= ". Please note that in some cases there might be a minus sign (-) before the last sequence of digits or not!
- For local Google Video sites (like Google Video France) use: {*google.TLD}video_id{*/google} and replace "TLD " with "co.uk ", "com.au ", "de ", "es ", "fr ", "it ", "nl " or "pl ", depending on the local Google Video service.
For example if the link on your browser displays video.google.fr/videoplay?docid=-3406925506469882756 then your video_id is -3406925506469882756, that means the characters that come after "docid= ". You then write inside the editor: {*google.fr}-3406925506469882756{*/google.fr}. Please note that in some cases there might be a minus sign (-) before the last sequence of digits or not!
- For Yahoo! Video use: {*yahoo}video_id{*/yahoo}
For example if the link on your browser displays video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=c860df3cc....1155220&cache=1 then your video_id is 1155220&cache=1, that means, everything that is AFTER the last DOT on the link!
- For iFilm use: {*ifilm}video_id{*/ifilm}
For example if the link on your browser displays www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2732615 then your video_id is 2732615, that means, yes you 've guessed too, just the number at the end of the link!
- For Vimeo use: {*vimeo}video_id{*/vimeo}
For example if the link on your browser displays www.vimeo.com/clip:78198 then your video_id is 78198, that means, yes you are a genius, again just the number at the end of the link!
- For Metacafe use: {*metacafe}video_id/video_name{*/metacafe}
For example if the link on your browser displays www.metacafe.com/watch/143709/i_get_knocked_down/ then your video_id/video_name is 143709/i_get_knocked_down. That is a tricky one because you need to ommit the last slash (/)! Be careful with this one!
- For Bofunk use: {*bofunk}video_id{*/bofunk}
For example if the link on your browser displays www.bofunk.com/video/3466/he_thinks_he_can_sing.html then your video_id is 3466. Bofunk uses ASX files to stream content.
- For Break use: {*break}video_name{*/break}
For example if the link on your browser displays www.break.com/index/rally41.html then your video_name is rally41. Break uses Windows Media Video (WMV) to stream content.
- For Current TV use: {*currenttv}video_id{{*/currenttv}
For example if the link on your browser displays www.current.tv/studio/media/2144246 then your video_id is 2144246.
- For Revver use: {*revver}video_id{*/revver}
For example if the link on your browser displays www.revver.com/video/29572/ then your video_id is 29572.
- For College Humor use: {*collegehumor}video_id{*/collegehumor}
For example if the link on your browser displays www.collegehumor.com/video:1714080 then your video_id is 1714080.
- For MyVideo.de use: {*myvideo}video_id{*/myvideo}
For example if the link on your browser displays www.myvideo.de/watch/17290 then your video_id is 17290.
- For Sevenload.de use: {*sevenload}video_id{*/sevenload}
For example if the link on your browser displays sevenload.de/videos/ZHNTpBZ then your video_id is ZHNTpBZ.
- For ClipFish use: {*clipfish}video_id{*/clipfish}
For example if the link on your browser displays www.clipfish.de/player.php?videoid=MjkwfDI%3D then your video_id is MjkwfDI%3D.
- For GameTrailers use: {*gametrailers}video_id{*/gametrailers}
For example if the link on your browser displays www.gametrailers.com/umwatcher.php?id=3542 then your video_id is 3542.
- For Dropshots use: {*dropshots}browser_link{*/dropshots}
For Dropshots we use the whole browser link, for example www.dropshots.com/day.php?userid=127444&...12&ctime=050513, because this is the easiest way to embed video. You see, Dropshots uses variables inside the link that would otherwise need to be "found " inside the browser link. And our "motto " for the plugin is "no HTML-hassle " at all! So using some extra PHP code, we "clean up " the link and embed the variables correctly in Joomla 's content. So all you have to do is just paste the whole link and that 's it!
- For UUme use: {*uume}video_id{*/uume}
For example if the link on your browser displays www.uume.com/play_0p7PhcCcJ2ra then your video_id is 0p7PhcCcJ2ra.
- For Tudou.com use: {*tudou}video_id{*/tudou}
For example if the link on your browser displays www.tudou.com/programs/view/T7tcywVL8P0/ then your video_id is T7tcywVL8P0.
- For Seehaha use: {*seehaha}video_id{*/seehaha}
For example if the link on your browser displays www.seehaha.com/play/19787 then your video_id is 19787.
- For QuXiu use: {*quxiu}video_id{*/quxiu}
For example if the link on your browser displays www.quxiu.com/mov/V12285.htm then your video_id is 12285 (without the 'V ' ).
- For WangYou.com use: {*wangyou}video_id{*/wangyou}
For example if the link on your browser displays v.wangyou.com/play.php?id=1773127 then your video_id is 1773127.
- For Mofile TV use: {*mofile}video_id{*/mofile}
For example if the link on your browser displays tv.mofile.com/QM66Q9O8/ then your video_id is QM66Q9O8.
- For Biku use: {*biku}video_id{*/biku}
For example if the link on your browser displays www.biku.com/opus/59150.html then your video_id is 59150.
Just in case you haven't noticed-- this entire process has now been completely redone. You can now just type in the YouTube URL or the video ID, highlight it, and click the drop down menu where it says YouTube (or any other video you'd like). This was done for your convenience. Enjoy!
