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

Any one have any idea how to fix the issue of HTTP 500 Error while installing yt.php

[aamirkhj]

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

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:

Nothing there right now, probably my fault as I've been rather busy for the past while and am just catching up now.

What version of PHP are you running, this does require at least v5 right now, the DOM functions weren't there in 4
