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.

[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....

Badger

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.

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.
