Intro/About:
If you're not familiar with Links and Downloads Manager you should be! It's one of the most robust hacks for http://www.vbulletin.com out there and allows you the Administrator to add vast amounts of content to your board on your own, or via your board members. This hack, for LDM 2.2.6 and vB 3.6.X will allow your links to YouTube videos to play inline within LDM.
This hack requires:
In your links_playbit template find:
Add AFTER:
The above width and height can of course be altered to suit your needs.
In your ./includes/local_links_include.php file find (around line 2590):
Add AFTER:
Great! The hard part is over! Now, add the included Plugin, and upload the gif image to your Links and Downloads Icon Cache, for me, my Icon Cache is located at http://www.amacny.com/vb/images/ldm it's the directory where all your extension gifs are located. Make sure that the Plugin is turned ON. You should now be able to add entries to LDM for YouTube, and have them play within your own website!
Live Demo/Example: http://www.amacny.com/vb/local_links.php?catid=53&linkid=506
If you're getting an error stating that it's an Invalid Filetype. Go into your LDM settings, and edit 1 of these options, either: musicbox_filetypes, or musicbox_filetypes_divx, or musicbox_filetypes_quicktime, or musicbox_filetypes_realplayer. Remove ALL entries in the setting you choose.
Until I can make this mini-mod work WITH all those settings intact, this is the quick-fix. Chances are you're not using ONE of those players.
