Major Additions - YouTube API Integration (lite)

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 "[youtube]videoid[/youtube]" 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

I've downloaded the latest files you posted but i'm still getting the blank white page when navigating to www.mydomain.net/yt.php

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.

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.

Any chance for more usergroup permissions, like to choose which usergroups can see it at all?
