I have worked for various entertainment forum clients and one of their very basic requirement is video’s for the site. There are lot of mod’s available over the Phpbb.com, but they are mainly available for YouTube and Google videos. If you like to add any other video site you can create custom BB Code for it. But creating custom for every video site is a very tedious job.
Well we have a mod that is still in beta over PhpBB3 forum, but we are using it successfully for almost a year for our clients. The beauty of the mod is that you need not make any code modifications in the files, simply upload a file and create a custom code.
The installation is a simple few step installation:
-
Upload the file (video.php) in the root of the site.
-
Now Login into forum’s admin control panel.
-
Select Posting tab from the top tabs.
-
The window provides you with a option of adding new BB code, check the extreme right of window.
-
Now fill up the available block/form. Add the BB Code that want to use in the BBCode Usage.
[video]{TEXT}[/video]
In the HTML replacement block enter.<script type=”text/javascript” src=”video.php?link={TEXT}”></script>
In the help line, enter the mouse over for the video BB Code.
Add the Video
In the settings, check the display box.
Lastly, submit.
There are a large number of Videos that are supported by this BB Code, a partial list of the supported video sites includes YouTube, Google video, daily motion, metacafe. MySpace, starsclips, yahoo, photo bucket, filefront, stage6, veoh, vidilife, game trailers, vidiac, game spot, mega video, vimeo, Game videos, tu.tv and God tube.
We hope that you find might had found your favorite video site in the list.
