Multimedia Chat Activity

Hi everyone,

I want to modify the Moodle Chat activity so that if someone enters a url to an image, or a youtube video, the chat would automatically embed that youtube video or image directly into the chat window.

Can anyone give me some pointers on where to start my modifications in the code?
Example:

Actually the mediaplugins filter cvs:/moodle/filter/mediaplugin/filter.php already does that for youtube videos.

You can see where it's detecting patterns and substituting code.

Makes sense to extend that for images too. Send us a patch in the tracker!
