How to insert YouTube videos on AutoPuzzles? - TUTORIAL
« on: January 06, 2015, 02:22:56 PM »
Hi all,

I thought this might be useful for some of you.

Here below is a step by step guide to do this.

1) Get the video link you would like to place, for example a full link could be like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oo_scvqCQ4c&list=UUKybUAUMCqyL226rMSmH-nw

A marked line is the video ID. It is always the string between "v=" and first "&" symbols.

2) Replace XXXXX in the code below with the video ID.

[ flash=200,200]http://www.youtube.com/v/XXXXX[/flash]

3) You will need to adjust the video size (default - 200x200 pixels, as you can see).

One of the easiest way to get exact dimensions is this:

3A) Right-click on the video and select "Get embed code".
3B) You will get a generated strings starting with something like "<iframe width="854" height="510"......
3C) Here are the dimensions of the video. Replace default 200,200 with those numbers and you should have the code line similar to below ready to be pasted to any your posts:

[ flash=854, 510]http://www.youtube.com/v/Oo_scvqCQ4c [/flash]

4) NOTE: There should be no space between first bracket and word flash. Please delete it. Then it's done.

Hope you find this useful.

Thanks and regards,
Arunas

Thank you!
(BTW the link is not working, you should post it twice, a working one and the underlined one -that will not work-).  ;)

Which link is not working? It works if you copy paste into you browser:
