Overview
This product creates 2 new BBCodes that will allow your users to post YouTube/Vimeo videos in fluid containers, i.e., containers that will dynamically resize if the browser window is resized to always maintain a 16:9 aspect ratio and to maintain left/right margins based on a defined percentage of the parent element's width.
Once installed, instruct your users that they merely need to include the video identifiers within the BBCode tags. For example:
Code:
[MYOUTUBE]xjglB04TOno[/MYOUTUBE]
[MVIMEO]22439234[/MVIMEO]
- Upon installation, your database is edited to create the two new BBCodes thereby eliminating the need for you to go through the tedious process of manually adding them yourself.
- A button for each BBCode is added to your editor's toolbar.
- The CSS of the video elements is configurable via the product settings.
