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.

Hey m8.

I just updated to 1.1 and now the related vids dont work anymore..

I first uploaded all the files in UPLOAD and the yt.php file, then uploaded the XML.

Hi, is there possible to have the option "Can suggest videos to public play lists" available to set as option on permissions?

"Can suggest videos to public play lists" option is missing

Only appear: "Can edit public play lists" and "Can create private play lists"

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.

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.

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.

What exactly does "Not Supported" mean..?
Does that just mean we have to go to vBGaming.org.? (which is no problem . )

I saw where someone said it works on there site that is 3.7, but is this REALLY ok for 3.7.?
Thanks

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..
