YouTube API Integration (lite)

[Andrew Green]

Note: Requires PHP 5 to run

This is a youtube integration modification. It integrates the youtube API into your website, allowing you to view, search and browse youtube's library from your site. It also includes a playlist system, allowing you and your users to create both public and private playlists. Private playlists can be edited and viewed only by their owners. Public lists are viewable by all, you can choose which user group can edit the public lists, and which can suggest videos, which are then approved or denied by the moderating group.

What this is not is a video hosting application, it works only off youTube's API, which is read only. You cannot upload video's, rate videos or otherwise post information too youtube.

In addition it creates a custom BBCode "videoid" unless it already exists. At bottom of each video there will be the BBCode as with the video id plugged in for users to copy and paste into threads.

Live Demo: http://vbgaming.org/forum/yt.php

It is a "lite" version, but it's missing very little, just the ability for users to suggest videos for public lists without giving them full editing ability on them.


v 1.1 - Feb 17
- Some minor bug fixes
- Now includes "Related Videos"
- Now cache's XML files on playlists, greatly speeding up loading those pages

v 1.11 - Apr 1
- Some bug fixes related to playlists

April 7
- Minor fix preventing videos from being added properly fixed

Cool ... will try it out to check the difference from the current one I'm using

[Hornstar]

Been waiting for this one for ages, as the last good one has an exploit in it, hopefully this one wont. thanks.

[double_d]

i would like to know the other you were using S7rik3R
does it automatically put videos in each catagory i make
or do i have to do this
it looks very good
but not exactly sure i want to install just yet

The categories are done by YouTube, You can create Playlists which you add videos too manually.

Yup, even says that in the first post ;)

The xml parsing routines used in it don't exist in older versions of PHP.

[MiahBeSmokin420]

i promise you that this is already been posted and the one that posted is alot better

what makes this one diffrent from the main one that was released??

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok i see the diffrence now

this one (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=160150) got removed from the site cause i guess dude pissed paul off or something idk i didnt feel like reading all the drama

well man since this is like the only one posted on the site now i guess good shit lol

great addon, works excellent :up:

[jdelasko]

Installed and working, except the youtube BBcode doesn't seem to have been installed.

Edit: Nevermind.........added my own code

[Sandy-XXX]

Its nice but i dont have PHP 5 :(

[BadgerDog]

Thanks ... :)

Installed for private testing before releasing to membership... :up:

Question: How do you restrict access to this page, so usergroups lile "guests" can't use it?

I see how the two options work under Usergroups, but now how access is controlled?

Thanks... nice work....

Regards,
Badger

[Andrew Green]

Access isn't really controlled, however if the goal is to stop guests you can do this for now:

On Line 40 is this:

$userid = $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'];


and below it add:

if(! $userid) print_no_permissions();


I'll add a "Can view" permission setting to both versions in the next little while.

[Mecho]

sorry i dont get one thing :

we should/can add videos manually ?
or
we just set some keywords and it will show all the videos that were using that keywords ?
or
both ?

thanks

[Andrew Green]

You can browse the standard feeds. "Most popular", "most viewed", etc.

You can browse by category.

And you can search, also by category.

You can't upload videos, it pulls everything straight from youtube, so anything that is there that allows embedding should be available to your site. The browsing / searching functions will work pretty much the same as on youtube.com, it uses their search engine.

Questions....

1. If you add the same video twice to a Playlist, does it recognize that and overwrite the previous entry, or do you end up with duplicate entries?

2. I notice when you select a video poster's name, it presents a list of all videos by that YouTube poster. However, when there's more than one page and you select page 2 of the poster's video list, it goes to "Most Recent Videos" page?

Thanks... :)

Badger

Questions....

1. If you add the same video twice to a Playlist, does it recognize that and overwrite the previous entry, or do you end up with duplicate entries?


Shouldn't, it checks for duplicates based on the video ID. So if it was the same video uploaded twice with different ID's obviously it would go through, but the same ID should only go in once.


2. I notice when you select a video poster's name, it presents a list of all videos by that YouTube poster. However, when there's more than one page and you select page 2 of the poster's video list, it goes to "Most Recent Videos" page?


I'll have a look into that in the next day or two, I've had a few suggestions I need to implement as well.

Upload the file again, make sure it made it in tact, ensure that the templates are there as well, you should have a new group called "youtube"

[Powlo]

There only appears to be two files to upload; yt.php & bitfield_youtubint.xml and also product-youtubint.xml to import. It seems a little incomplete, is everything ok with the download?

Yup, that it does. It uses functions that weren't introduced until php 5. If there is enough interest I could get a version working with php 4, but for now, you need PHP5.

Are there somefiles missing or maybe incomplete, the reason i ask is in the upload folder i have ... yt.php (21kb) & yt.php~ (19kb) doesnt the '~' mean incomplete? Would love this on my site as it looks great from what ive seen. Hope you can help.

the yt.php~ doesn't need to be there, it's a temp file.

All you should need are the yt.php, the bitfields file and the product file.

Are you using a custom template? Did the product file import properly?

Yes its a custom template, should it matter?

The product file imported without errors.

[Andrew Green]

The product file imported without errors.


It might, depends on how the theme was designed, if you go to the page under the default theme does it work?

Edit: you also give "www.mydomain.net/yt.php " as a example, I'm assuming your forum is in the root folder, if not and it's mydomain.net/forum/ or something similar you should have the yt.php file there mydomain.net/forum/yt.php instead.

I'll probably redo the DOM functions later on, kinda busy right now though so nothing is going to happen for a week or two.

[funkmeister]

How can I have the initial 'yt.php' page - when you load it using www.mysite/forum/yt.php - display a custom default search criteria? So if I want to have the topic of "radio" be the first search criteria that is displayed from the 'yt.php' displayed video listings - how can I make that happen? Which file needs editing and what code is required?

Hope that is clear!

Thanks - a great addon, kudos.

Hello I am installing it on my forum but it is giving me an internal server error. Kindly findout the problem here is the url where i am installing it

http://www.meraraabta.com/baithak/yt.php
here after this code my file stops execution.... coder is requested to kindly find some time to solve the problem

$doc = new DOMDocument(); in yt.php

[funkmeister]

In the WOL function, it would be nice if the link it took you to, was the actual video, the person is viewing rather than just 'yt.php'.

I see there is the '$id' variable, it should be able to be put after the main file; eg: 'yt.php?v=$id' but for whatever reason, it doesn't bring the video id over. It's just left blank in WOL; eg: 'yt.php?v='

Also, how can I have the initial 'yt.php' page - when you load it using www.mysite/forum/yt.php - display a custom default search criteria? So if I want to have the topic of "radio" be the very first search criteria that is displayed when running 'yt.php' - how can I make that happen? Which file needs editing and what code is required?

Hope that last one is clear!

Over all.....great job. Thanks :up:

I upgraded to the latest version and I've noticed a bug.

If you search for a word that has an apostrophe in it like astro's, the formatting of the search results is messed up. It does this on your own site so it has nothing to do with my installation. Eliminating the apostrophe produces a properly formatted search results page.

[jdelasko]

Hellllloooooooo. Is anybody out there?

Anyone willing to do this strictly for godtube.com I would greatly appreciate it. Also, 3.7 compatible if possible.

[jdelasko]

Anyone willing to do this strictly for godtube.com I would greatly appreciate it. Also, 3.7 compatible if possible.

I don't believe that would be possible. The youtube integration addon utilizes the Google youtube APIs. http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/overview.html

This addon only works because youtube provides access to it's videos through an open API interface. I don't believe godtube.com provides this type of data access.

For those of you not able to see anything except a blank page..

if you can get to a prompt and are able to run "yum" on your RHEL based box, see if the php-xml package is installed..

that was my issue.. so a "yum install php-xml" fixed me..

those of you not able to check, look at your php info and see if the --disable-dom flag is there, if it is, ask your host to ensure they have the php-xml package on your linux servers.. otherwise, they can recompile PHP with the "--enable-dom" flag at the "./configure" command..

Great mod and working just fine under vb 3.8.2

Just these are bugging me:
1.
Mod is not phrased, or not phrased enough?
Also
Would be nice to see all categories phrased, than non-english forums like mine would attract more users as youtube dont have all languages (just 20 or so)

2.
Using another mod for displaying videos in posts
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=150761&page=89
passiveVid - (YouTube, Myspace, Google...) Not BBCODE

Regarding to this is it possible to get in a box to the right of video full url link instead of BBCode ?

Also when clicked within bb code I dont get code colored so that user can easely manipulate with it


Anyways installed and love it
nominated and rated too

Thanks

Very little language is actually used, most of it comes from youtube.com, the categories are not something I set up, those are setup by youtube

meanwhile in others sites the related feature are working

i had try this hack in 2 different host, with php5 ofcourse (if you want to see the phpinfo let me know you can pm), and not one of those working, so i guess, sites that related feature not showing up is using 1.1 version, or that version is not compliance with most of host
