As an added convenience, you can now post YouTube and StreetFire videos right in your posts on EatonInside.com!

To do this, just follow these steps:

Place your video on either site, and go to the page where you can view it.

For YouTube
The URL looks something like this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASD64124DX
so what you do now is pull off everything after the ?watch= so in this case that'sASD64124DX
Place that line of text between bbcode tags like this:[youtube]ASD64124DX and voila! The video will show up right in your post!

For StreetFire
Your URL looks something like this:http://videos.streetfire.net/video/4bff2680-e3b1-4ca9-9391-99250156a35a.htm
In this case, pull off all those numbers and letters after "video/" and before ".htm" so here it's:4bff2680-e3b1-4ca9-9391-99250156a35a
and then put them w/in tags like:[streetfire]4bff2680-e3b1-4ca9-9391-99250156a35aand your streetFire video will now show up in your post!

buttons [yt] and [sf] have also been added to the editor to facilitate this just like other formatting buttons.

any problems or questions, please post here.

Just added code to handle photobucket videos as well:

Go to your album in PhotoBucket.com
create a tag in your post like:<video filename>
for example, my album is located at:http://vid92.photobucket.com/albums/l22/bc3tech
and my video's filename isMVI_1643.flv
so i insert a tag like:MVI_1643.flv
and it will put in
MVI_1643.flv

If you had the video in a sub-album, open up the sub album and paste the address bar's text into the photobucket tag accordingly.

if you have questions post 'em up.
I'm now disabling the HTML insertability on the general forum.

[pb] button added to editor
