Setting Youtube BB Code to full screen in YAF

02Mar11

Was wondering about the lack of the full screen mode on YAFs wonderful BBCode which embedds a youtube video.

Simple goto Admin — BB Code and Edit the Youtube BBCode record.

The Regex should be changed to:

<!– BEGIN youtube –><object width=”425″ height=”350″><param name=”movie” value=”http://${prefix}youtube.com/v/${id}”></param><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param><embed src=”http://${prefix}youtube.com/v/${id}&fs=1” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” width=”425″ height=”350″ allowfullscreen=”true”></embed></object><!– END youtube –>

The important bits are the param allowFullScreen, adding allowfullscreen to the embed tag, and also fs=1 to the querystring on the embed src value.
