Adding Video from Popular Video Services
The EmbedVideo extension allows users to embed videos from youtube and other popular video sources using this code:
{{#ev:youtube|ysDGX6bOgAw|200}}
You can find that code in the middle pipe at the end of the url of the youtube page containing the video you want to use.
Usage
The EmbedVideo parser function expects to be called in either of the following ways:
- {{#ev:service|id}} -or-
- {{#ev:service|id|width}}
Where:
- service is the name of a video sharing service.
- id is the id of the video to include
- width (optional) is the width in pixels of the viewing area (height will be determined automatically)
For example, to include the famous "evolution of dance" YouTube video, you'd enter:
{{#ev:youtube|dMH0bHeiRNg}}
And if you wanted scaled down to thumbnail size, you could use:
{{#ev:youtube|dMH0bHeiRNg|100}}

With admin status, you can take advantage of html or java to embed a video. The <addhtml> tag can only be utilized by setting the page status to protected. It must be protected because a badguy might try to use a clever java script to hax the site.
Usage
There are just 2 easy steps.

1. Copy the embed code to your clipboard.
2. Put <addhtml> before the code, and </addhtml> after the code. Like this:
<addhtml> <video's code example> </addhtml>
The result:
