Expanding the LAVA media embed feature

[Michael Aivaliotis]

As mentioned in this topic. LAVA has a new feature that can be used to embed media into forum posts. We can add more media types but are not sure what you all need. Also, we would like you to help us formulate the replacement script for these new media types.

Media Replacement Match:

You can use {1}, {2}, etc as a variable replacements or any regex statement:

Ex: http://www.test.com/23423/Match: http://www.test.com/{1}/

For YouTube:

http://(|www.)youtube.com/watch?v={2}

Media Replacement HTML

You can use $1, $2, etc as a variable replacements or any regex statement.

Ex: <a href="http://www.testm.com/$1/">$1</a>Result: <a href="http://www.testm.com/23423/">23423</a>

For YouTube:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="355" width="425" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/$2"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/$2"><param name="allowScriptAcess" value="sameDomain"><param name="quality" value="best"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><param name="scale" value="noScale"><param name="salign" value="TL"><param name="FlashVars" value="playerMode=embedded" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent"/></object>

Let us know what media embed you want and what the replacement match and replacement HTML should be.

It would be nice if we could embed screencast video's.

EDIT: I have openend a ticket with screencast/techsmith to get that info.
