- Step 4: Enable Yes at Allow HTML line

- Step 5: At Allowed HTML Tags line, add the following HTML tags: object, embed & param.

Once done, embedding videos will become possible.

Members

Members could only embed videos only if the administrator allows HTML codings and has added the following HTML tags: object, embed, param.

If allowed, embedding videos will be possible and available to users.

How to make video autoplay and/or loop

- Step 1: Embed the video

- Step 2: Add the following preceded by a &:

~ For autoplay: Add autoplay=1 or autoplay=true
~ For looping: Add loop=1 or loop=true

Notice: both could be added.

Examples

Note: embed code used is for YouTube videos embedding.

Normal video embed code (without autoplay and looping)

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="VIDEOURL"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="VIDEOURL" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

Video embed code with autoplay (without looping)

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="VIDEOURL&autoplay=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="VIDEOURL&autoplay=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

Video embed code with looping (without autoplay)

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="VIDEOURL&loop=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="VIDEOURL&loop=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

Video embed code with both autoplay & looping

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="VIDEOURL&autoplay=1&loop=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="VIDEOURL&autoplay=1&loop=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

Hello,

I have just made this tutorial on how to embed videos on a phpBB forum for administrators and I would like to ask you guys if you think it's relevant and good, if there are any errors or any other things that could be added or should be taken off.

Thanks!
