Custom BB Codes - Vbulletin

jwashburn

I am working on building a custom BB Code for my Vbulletin forum. Its the same forum they use here. This will allow users to post a video in any forum, regardless if HTML is enabled.

Here are the two problems I am having. This first is the videos are autoplaying. I couldnt find a paramater around autoplay. I would prefer that they dont autoplay. The next problem is the right video doesnt play everytime. Sometimes a video from a totally different smugmug users plays. I cant tell if its pulling some sort of cache from my machine, or if its grabbing it real time.

Here is the code I am using

embed style="width:425px; height:318px; type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="[URL="http://cdn.smugmug.com/ria/ShizVidz-2008120101.swf"]http://cdn.smugmug.com/ria/ShizVidz-2008120101.swf[/URL]" flashVars=""></embed>

Its seems to work 80% of the time. I would like to get it nailed down so my users and users of this site could just type [smug]there video[/smug]

Here is a link to some basics on BB Code

You can see an example of my test post at

This video should be of a mountain biker with a helmet camera.

Here is a link to my videos on smug

So far I have see the video, that SHOULD be the moutain bike helmet camera play both motocross videos from my gallery, as well as a video from a totally different smug user jcmx.smugmug.com.

It hasnt played my dogs playing video.

Ill post some more information as I come up with it. If any has some idea, please send them my way.

Thanks for reading


Edit ...

I am now using this code

<object width="425" height="318">
	<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
	<param name="movie" value="http://cdn.smugmug.com/ria/ShizVidz-2008120101.swf" />
	<param name="flashVars" value="" />
	<embed src="http://cdn.smugmug.com/ria/ShizVidz-2008120101.swf" flashVars="" width="425" height="318" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true">
	</embed>
</object>

Got it figured out
I got it nailed down.

If you have a Vbulletin site and you want to embed video, create a custom BB Code like this

Title:Smug Video

BBCode Tag Name: smug

Replacement:

<object width="425" height="318">
 <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
 <param name="movie" value="[URL="http://cdn.smugmug.com/ria/ShizVidz-2008120101.swf"]http://cdn.smugmug.com/ria/ShizVidz-2008120101.swf[/URL]" />
 <param name="flashVars" value="{param}" />
 <embed src="[URL="http://cdn.smugmug.com/ria/ShizVidz-2008120101.swf"]http://cdn.smugmug.com/ria/ShizVidz-2008120101.swf[/URL]" flashVars="{param}" width="425" height="318" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true">
 </embed>
</object>

Example: [smug]s=ZT0xJmk9NjA1NTgzMTU5Jms9TVZhc1QmYT03NTU0MzY5X3dnZDRvJnU9Sm9leVdhc2hidXJu[/smug]
