Embed Videos In Posts

Well, I decided that my website needed the ability to embed videos into posts.  And since I just figured out how to do that in html, I wrote this extremely simple mod.

http://www.boardmod.org/mods.php?dl=686&filename=video_tag.zip

Now, it isn't exactly the most sophisticated mod.  I basically just replaced the teletype feature with video embedding, since it would seem as though nobody on my site used that at all.

It replaces the picture of the teletyper with a film reel.  You should probably upload the vid.gif file from the zip into your images folder, lest you receive an error.

It replaces the functionality of the tt tag, so that the url enclosed within, hopefully being a video file, will be embedded into your posts. 

Also, regardless of the original size, the video is resized to a width of 400 with a proportiional height.  This was to correct certain infrastructure issues.

Go ahead and check out this feature in use at Buddy Buddha Dot Net if you would like you see it before you install it.

Feel free to mod the mod if you want it to work differently and post it up on this post.

That'll take you right to the embedded trailer for "The Rave."  You should watch it, it's pretty funny.

I didn't install this yet but my question was I didn't see an embed even on YOUR site.  (which is pretty nice btw)  I registered there so if you could provide a link to something you embeded, that be cool.

It works great, on a heavy moded site you might have to play with it to get it to install.

How hard would it be to change this so it plays wav or mp3 files  Roll Eyes
