How to Insert Youtube Video Clip in Mamboboard

If you use mamboboard forum component on your joomla or mambo website. It can't post the video clip because it is not allow HTML only allow basic BBCode. This tips will show you how to insert my custom BBcode to put youtube video clip in mamboboard.

Step 1. Open the file smile.class.php and looking for this code on line 62

// bold

Step 2. Insert this code under the line above

$sb_message_txt = preg_replace("/\[youtube\](.*?)\[\/youtube\]/si","<div align=\"center\"><object width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/$1\&hl=en&fs=1\"></param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"></param><param name=\"allowscriptacces\" value=\"always\"></param><embed src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/$1\&hl=en&fs=1\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\"></embed></object></div>",$sb_message_txt);

Now, you can post Youtube video clip by using this tag.

[youtube]ClipID[/youtube]

for Example:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldMUEJBA1tk

If you want to post this clip in mamboboard just type:

[youtube]ldMUEJBA1tk[/youtube]

//*Red color font is what I called ClipID

Next step is to add the youtube video button for the easier to use

Step 3. Looking for this code in the file smile.class.php(about line 651)

<input type="button" class="button" accesskey="p" name="addbbcode14" value="Img" style="width: 40px" onclick="bbstyle(14)" onmouseover="helpline('p')" />

Step 4. Insert this code under that line above

<script type="text/javascript">function fb_vid_help1() {document.postform.helpbox.value = 'YouTube Video Clip: [youtube]ClipID[/youtube]';}</script><input type="button" class="button" style="width: 40px" value="Youtube" onclick="javascript: bbfontstyle('[youtube]', '[/youtube]') "onmouseover="fb_vid_help1()" />

Finish! Now you add the button Youtube. When people click on it, It will generate tag [youtube]...[/youtube] automatically.
