This is a very simple mod that will convert any links to videos on youtu.be to full www.youtube.com URLs.

This will be done everytime a new post is created or edited.

The purpose of this mod is to allow mods like AME 2.5 to work properly with the new shorter youtu.be share URLs.

It is preferable to use the original www.youtube.com URL because it will work with video titles and retain deep embedding support.

There are no options, just import the prodct in the usual way and it is installed and working.

If you ever need to disable it, disable the product from your Product Manager in Admin CP. Or uninstall.

*THIS WILL NOT CHANGE OLD POSTS UNLESS YOU EDIT and RE-SAVE THEM*

Example:

If someone posts:

Code:
http://youtu.be/YqlzuQfTwUk
It will be converted to:

Code:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqlzuQfTwUk
before being saved. This will allow a mod like AME to convert it to an embdded video using the standard YouTube.com definition.

This mod does NOT embed videos. It is only useful if you run a mod like AME already.

This mod works on Vb 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, and 4.x.

Please Mark as Installed if you use this.
