Hi again

Here's the next mod based up on our mod-system ( http://forums.webwiz.net/forum_posts.asp?TID=24464 - http://forums.webwiz.net/forum_posts.asp?TID=24464 ). Please read first the basic-installation!

update 21.09.20007 @ 15:00

This morning I made a second edition which used swfobject. After I found some bugs I decided to rewrite this mod using regular expressions. So this new version 1.10 is only for swfobject. In future there will be only updates for the swfobject-version!

Using swfobject is better for end users because they don't have to click to activate the flash. So for example in the youtube videos users normally have to (click) active the flash and then (click) to play the movie. With swfobject the user just have to click once and then the movie is directly played.

I made this mod because one of our customer requested that the integration of youtube videos has to be simpler. It was no idea that users user the [ tube ] - tags. The customer wanted that the users only have to put the full url (copied from the browser-address-bar) into the post...

mxm - will your mod allow both integration of a full url copied from a browser and the ability to add video using the [*tube] [/*tube] tags aswell?

@javi712:

I don't know at this moment if this works because we've disabled the bb-code for youtube-videos. I'll test this when I have the time to do this =)
