Youtube brackets

I’ve been using youtube bracket for wp for long time.

Based on that Idea I isolated it to make it work at any installation.

This script allows you to write anywhere in your content this and will return a flash player with the video embed.

Function that embeds the flash in the content:

$content=mediaPostDesc($content);//usage

function mediaPostDesc($the_content){//from a description add the media
//using http://www.robertbuzink.nl/journal/2006/11/23/youtube-brackets-wordpress-plugin/
    if (VIDEO){
        $stag = "";
        $spos = strpos($the_content, $stag);
        if ($spos !== false){
            $epos = strpos($the_content, $etag, $spos);
            $spose = $spos + strlen($stag);
            $slen = $epos - $spose;
            $file  = substr($the_content, $spose, $slen);
			//youtube
            $tags = '
                    
                    
                    
                    ';
            $new_content = substr($the_content,0,$spos);
            $new_content .= $tags;
            $new_content .= substr($the_content,($epos+1));

            if ($epos+1 < strlen($the_content)) {//reciproco
                $new_content = mediaPostDesc($new_content);
            }
            return $new_content;
        }
        else return $the_content;
    }
    else return $the_content;
}

But if we allow users to insert this code, why not make it easier to them?

HTML that we need, to previsualize the video:

Youtube Video:

JavaScript to insert youtube URL:

function youtubePrompt(){
    vurl=prompt('Youtube.com URL','http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXXXXXX');
    if(vurl.indexOf("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=")==0){
        document.getElementById('video').value=vurl;
        file=vurl.substr(31,vurl.length);
        tags = " ";
        document.getElementById('youtubeVideo').innerHTML=tags;
    }
    else {
         document.getElementById('video').value="";
         document.getElementById('youtubeVideo').innerHTML="";
    }
}

Example of php code to insert it in our content:

if (strpos($_POST["video"], "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=")==0) $desc.='.']';//youtube video
// then insert in DB

This feature it is already planned for OC 1.6.3 😉
