   Hi All -- if you go to http://www.whittenweb.com you will likely see what i'm trying to do.

   I'm not very experienced with writing wp plugins. What I would like to do is create a simple tag (like

   <yte>{youtube video id}</yte> and have that expand when a post is viewed to the following:

   <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{youtube video id}"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/{youtube video id}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

   This seems fairly simple -- just not sure i'm looking in the right places on where i'd add this type of code. Any help?

   thanks!

   Never mind -- I figured it out -- easy of course, once I could figure out where to put it!

   
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: You Tube Embed
Plugin URI: <none yet>
Description: Adds quicktags for embedding youtube videos in your blog
Version: 1.0
Author: Notwen
Author URI: <none yet>
*/

   /*

   Drop in your /wp-content/plugins/
   Activate the plug-in via admin

   */

   add_filter('the_content', 'notwen_yte');

   function notwen_yte($post_content)
   {
   $pattern ='@<yte>(.*?)</yte>@';
   $replace = '<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/$1"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/$1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>';
   return preg_replace ($pattern, $replace, $post_content);
   }

   ?>
