EBAUM'S WORLD BBCODE v1.1
By Karl Benson


Link to Mod | Comment On This Mod

Introduction
Adds [ebaumsworld][/ebaumsworld] bbcode to show Ebaums World clips

Ebaum's World do not use the same video id in the url and for the video file like YouTube, so I've devised a lookup table in the database.
The first time each clip is shown on your forum, the information you will need to embed the video is obtained from ebaumsworld.
The height/width and id/reference are then stored in the lookup table so that any time after that the clip is used on your forum, the information is retrieved from the lookup table.
(Since its a hundred times faster to perform the query, the go and get the id/reference every time)
To keep the lookup table fairly optimized, lookup references get wiped after 3 months/90 days
(and an new version of the lookup reference will be obtained)

Installation
Simply install the package to install this modification on the Default theme.

Manual edits will be required for non-default themes to insert the BBcode button onto the Post.template.php.
