Not Planned [XF1] Allow BBcode video embeds in Gallery

I would love to allow users to add links to their Youtube videos directly in their photo gallery for their item. This is common in many gallery add-ons these days. It would behave just like a photo, except that instead of using an upload dialog box the user would enter a URL into a field, and upon submission it would create a thumbnail of the video and embed a video player so the viewer could watch the video within the page where the larger photo would be.

I'm currently allowing users to enter video links into a custom field via a textarea input which is less than ideal. I'd like them to be able to store their photos and videos together in their gallery. And in a perfect world, the user would be able to browser an item's photos and videos separately, as opposed to having all of the photos and videos grouped together.

If this sounds like something you'd like for your Showcase installation please like this post so Bob can add it to his priority list.

 

Please, more people like the first post!!!!!!! This seems like a no-brainer, but more people need to show Bob that it's something they could use. The only way to do this is to Like the post.
