    Extends the default text formatter to autolink urls and auto insert images and videos. *REQUIRES PHP 5!*

    To insert an image simply enter the url to an image in your comment. For example:

    http://www.example.com/image.jpg

    The image will be then displayed in your comment.

    The same with video. Enter a link to a youtube page like:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FA621_F3bKw

    And the video will be automatically embedded in your comment.

    I wrote this because I wanted a simple solution for my forum for non tech savvy people. I'm not a web coder, so the code is most likely awful.

    Supports:

    Images
    - jpg
    - gif
    - png

    Videos
    - YouTube
    - Dailymotion
    - Google Video
    - MySpace
    - Spike
    - RedLasso
    - Ceknito.sk
    - Vii.sk

    circuit: Hmm, I forgot that using references in the foreach loop is only supported in PHP 5. I'll see what I can do about that, though it will clunker up the code, so I'm not sure I want to do that.

    that's OK, it's not urgent (it is a very good idea, though :) )

    dionhall85: You need PHP 5 for this extension to work.

    Do you have the extension enabled? Do you use the text formatter? Link to your site?

    I think it would be better if normal links are not displayed link this ->link<- but like normal but just klickable. So you know where the links points and you don't have to look in the statusbar or somewhere. And is it possible that it works also with the BlogThis extension? That would rock.

    @elm: Yeah, I wanted the same functionality. You can tweak one line of default.php (in the extension's folder) to make it work.

    Change:

    $Word = '<a href="'.$Word.'" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">->link<-</a>';

    to:

    $Word = '<a href="'.$Word.'" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">'.$Word.'</a>';

    I use "->link<-" because long links break my theme. But as juicysauce said, you can easily change that.

    Thanks. But the problem is the update. Everytime a new version is released, i have to change some code in nearly every extension I use so I try to make you to do the changes ;). But I see it is not possible to fulfill everyones wishes. Maybe it is possible to format the links like this:

    http://www.google.de/sear...lient=firefox-a

    so it would not break you theme :) I think this is a good compromise.

    I'll second the request for Vimeo and mp3 support. That would serious kick ass.

    Vimeo is a bit tricky as they have different video sizes. MP3 support is also tricky, as it requires a player. But I'll try to figure something out.

    does it support auto-embedding flickr pics?
  20.  # 20
    It would be awesome if this would support bold italics

    EX:

    *bold* = bold

    _italic_ = italic

    This is how they have formating set up a writeboard.com it's really intuitive and easy to use.

    Hello,

    This is just what I wanted and it works fine - almost. There's an issue with video links in that when I tried it with this youtube video http://www.youtube.com/v/htt5IjMhysM&rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01&border=0
    it lauched it in a new window instead of embedding it.

    On the other hand I found an existing post from someone else in my forum where a video link they'd included before I used your add-on now showed as embedded. So it does work sometimes.

    What I want to understand is what causes the different behaviour. Any ideas please ?
