Post Embedding Videos in the Forum (vimeo, dailymotion, youtube)

NOTE: To add a video of your hostel go to the Hostel Videos forum section and click "New Thread".

How to Add Videos to the Forum

I've added code so that Vimeo.com and Dailymotion.com videos can now be embedded in the forum as well as YouTube videos.

Embed Vimeo Videos -- put the ID number of the video in Vimeo tags:

[vimeo]1093464[/ vimeo] (don't use a space though)

Embedded Vimeo video:



Embed Dailymotion Videos -- put the short ID number of the video from the URL into the dailymotion tags:

[dailymotion]x3l2p6[/ dailymotion] (don't use a space though)

Sample embedded Dailymotion video:



Embed YouTube Videos -- put the Video ID in youtube tags:

[youtube]48xzSx0NNX4[/ youtube] (don't use a space though)

Embedded YouTube Video:

Talking Re: Embedding Videos in the Forum (vimeo, dailymotion, youtube)

New video site enabled: Comedy Central.
(probably only relevant to the Off-topic forum)

It works with the ID number in the video's URL:
[comedycentral]187600[ /comedycentral]

(don't add a space in the code and it will show the video with that ID number)

I enabled Comedy Central for the Jon Stewart videos

I'll add more video embedding sites in the future if anyone has any requests.

Just checking...



Do you think we can get an RTW ticket for that? :P

Metacafe:
I added Metacafe.com video embedding. It's a little more complicated because you have to copy/paste the last two segments of the URL from the embed code, not the URL:

Example code -- remove the space:
[metacafe]yt-FbitKSZ_Gh0/de_visee_suite_in_dm_part_2.swf[ /metacafe]



Blip.tv:
To embed blip.tv videos, pull the video ID out of the embed code like this, removing the space:
[bliptv]gaUTw9xojf9g[ /bliptv]

I've enabled MSNBC videos. The BB code is:
[msnbc]27245572[/ msnbc] (remove the space)

The number comes from the last number in the URL in the embed code:

<iframe height="339" width="425" src="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22425001/vp/27245572#27245572" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

How to add a Travelistic.com video to the forum:

Take the number out of the URL:
http://www.travelistic.com/video/show/10959/Briefcase-to-Backpack:-SE-Asia

Put it in [travelistic] tags:
[travelistic]10959[/ travelistic] (remove the space to turn it into a video)

Sample:

You can now embed geobeats.com videos:

Just get the video code from within the embed code and surround it in geobeats tags:
[geobeats]369[/ geobeats] (remove the space to turn it into a video)

Here's some sample embed code with the video number in red:

<object width="400" height="339"><param name="movie" value="http://www.geobeats.com/videoclips/embed/352" /></param> <param name="menu" value="false" /></param> <param name="quality" value="high" /></param> <param name="wmode" value="opaque" /></param> <embed src="http://www.geobeats.com/videoclips/embed/369" width="400" height="339" menu= "false" quality= "high" wmode="opaque" type= "application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed> </object>
