in the you tube url the will be a group of numbers and letters ie
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmIeah8K1cE
click the you tube icon on the message panel and copy and paste the highlighted group between the youtube quotes
[youtube] insert here [youtube] like so


so copy from the = up to the & if there is a &

the closing youtube tag needs a / - as in all good xml -

so if the youtube url is

youtube.com/watch?v=D9Xju1Wavoc

then you need

[Utube]D9Xju1Wavoc[/Utube]

i've used [Utube] and [/Utube] here, but you need [youtube] and [/you...]

i had to type Utube otherwise the forum insisted on putting the video here, rather than the code - even though i tried using [code] tags

If you don't want something to parse for an example like that, then just use the noparse bbcode.

noparse noparse, with the brackets and the / on the end one of course.


[YOUTUBE]abcedefg[/YOUTUBE]

:)

thanks - i thought the [code] tags did that, but they don't....

what are the code tags for then?
