Is there a way to create custom bbcode tags? Thanks!

Unfortunately not (see the TODO section of the README file).

What tags do you want to add?

For example, a youtube tag, like [youtube]Y70aJn7fb9Q[/youtube] or using it with the Hovertips module for [Hover="hover this"]some text[/hover] :)

Great module by the way, I love it :)

If you send me the HTML for these tags I will send you the code.

Thanks a lot, for example for youtube:

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Y70aJn7fb9Q"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Y70aJn7fb9Q" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

Where Y70aJn7fb9Q is the movie ID

For Google Video:

<embed style="width:400px; height:326px;" id="VideoPlayback" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=-3636478429299171266&hl=en"></embed>

Where 3636478429299171266 is the movie ID

(I prefer using this than the video module, because this way I can let users in the forums post videos with bbcode)

Or in the case for the hovertips and clicktips plugin (http://drupal.org/project/hovertip):

<div>This is something you can click on to make a tooltip appear</div>
<div class="clicktip">This is the HTML that will appear when clicked.</div>

or

<div>Hover hear to make a tooltip appear beneath mouse</div>
<div class="hovertip">This is the HTML that will appear on mouseover.</div>

Thanks a lot!

Could this be done not based on video IDs, but un video URLs? Video IDs are a bad approach from the user side. It's better to paste the full URL into the bbcode and then transform it to a valid embed code.

To add a youtube tag, add this code to your bbcode-filter.inc file:

    '#\[youtube]([\w:;&,~%+!=@\/\.\-\#\?]+)\[/youtube(?::\w+)?\]#si'  =>
    '<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie"
    value="http://www.youtube.com/v/\\1"></param><param name="wmode"
    value="transparent"></param><embed
    src="http://www.youtube.com/v/\\1"
    type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425"
    height="350"></embed></object>',

The tooltip and clicktips would be more difficult to add as it required JavaScript coding as well.

Great, thanks!
I'll use this as an example to add more tags if I need to :)
