SEO YouTube and Google Videos
 

This mod was inspired by by Embed XHTML valid YouTube and Google Video into your posts but this mod contains some bugs and isn't complete so I then needed to modify it and decided to do it really well and aply SEO technology to it.

This mod will enable your users to publish YouTube or Google videos on your forum. It's managable via the adminpanel and the script will automaticly download the titles of the videos from YouTube or Google Video and store it in the database so it will get the videos indexed verry well and it's fast.

Some of the features:

• Custom tagnames, manageable from the adminpanel
• Automatic Video Title retrieval, with optional support for Lib Curl and user-simulated video title retrieval
• Custom editor icons, managable from the adminpanel
• Template based Google or YouTube video output
• Support for local Google Video servers, to make your site local
• Phrases for all text so it has support for multi-lingual forums
• Optional, extend all links within the video with rel="nofollow", customizable seperately for YouTube or Google Video
• Custom Video titles via tag option ([googlevideo="Video Title"]...[/googlevideo])
• SEO Video Index (demo)
• SEO Video Bar (demo)
• Ability to configure usergroups that have access to delete videos.

Instalation:

1. Import the XML product
2. Upload the attached icon images (or use your own)
   • Default is:
     • /images/editor/google.gif
     • /images/editor/youtube.gif
3. Open htaccess.txt, configure it (replace yourdomain with your domain), save it as .htaccess and upload it to the root of your forum
4. Run the included installer
   • The installer will also upgrade previous instalations
   • Bug: when you run the installer more then once, multiple of the same indexes are created. I haven't found a way yet to prevent this. I have posted some messages on MySQL forums to find an answere and will then upgrade the installer. For now it is adviced to run the installer just once and for upgrades it is adviced to check the PREFIXseovideos table after upgrading to see if there are any duplicate indexes configured to remove them if needed.
5. To install the Videobar anywhere on the forum use the folowing code:
   • PHP Code:

     ---

     <!-- SEO Videos Index Bar --> 


     ---

Done.

Have Fun!

Update: 18 februari 2007 (latest files from www.papegaaienforum.nl where this mod works very well).

awsome addon :)

i am using custom bbcode for youtube so if i want to install this mod i should uninstall the bbcode am i right? and how this is looks in postbit? can you show a screen from there too?

*installs*

Thanks a lot! This is a very good replacement for the anymedia thing, since they dont want to move on to 3.6.x I am going to give this a try, and the way it looks won't be needing more then this one!

If it work out let me know i will use it too :)

Getting this message:

Failed to recognized your video code, please enter the video ID or full video URL wich contains the Video ID.

Nice

You could keep the YouTube bbcode if you want by disabling YouTube within the adminpanel or you could delete the YouTube bbcode and use this mod.

I've added a screenshot of the postbit btw!
