Custom tag - too advanced?

Hi,

I wanted to add a "youtube" tag in the forum ... so added:

youtube()

Code:
<br /> 
<p><object height="250" width="415"><param name="movie" value="%1%"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="%1%" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="250" width="415"></embed></object>] 
</p>

This works fine when showing the post - but when you go to "edit" it, the page breaks - it shows up as:

Code:
Doing a test re[;y 

] 

]

..instead of:

Code:
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/v/a52sSrzJSHs?fs=1&amp;hl=en_GB]

Is this tag just too complicated? I really wanna get this to work :)

BTW, I've also tested it with "quotes" around it, but the same happens:

Code:
[youtube "http://www.youtube.com/v/a52sSrzJSHs?fs=1&amp;hl=en_GB"]

TIA

Andy

Ok, so maybe this is a bug with the beta then :(

Cos even doing:

Code:
foo %1%

..works fine, and prints in the post:

Code:
foo http://www.youtube.com/v/a52sSrzJSHs?fs=1&amp;hl=en_GB

..but when you go to edit it, you get:

Code:
foo http://www.youtube.com/v/a52sSrzJSHs?fs=1&amp;hl=en_GB

..instead of:

Code:
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/v/a52sSrzJSHs?fs=1&amp;hl=en_GB]

Maybe I will just have to use a custom global for that then :(

Cheers

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Is this in 1.99.1, or 1.2.1?

Also, that looks a little difrferent to mine - I was just letting them send the whole URL to the video ... hows your one work?

Thanks again

Shouldn't make a difference which version. You just put the video id (the filename of random characters).

Hi,

Definatly doesn't work on my copy :(

Will shoot you over GForum admin + sample login, and maybe you could take a look? (no rush - as I'm finished for the day now anyway)
