YouTube Wordpress Plugin With Technorati Tags
I’m no longer supporting this, and I’m unsure if the old YouTube API is still in place.
Hey all, I was asked to write a simple plugin that will make use of the YouTube API to generate videos based on specific post tags.
Downloads
- YouTube Wordpress Plugin
- svn export http://public.svnme.com/youtubevideos .
Usage
- open the .PHP file in a text editor, on the line
$dev_id = "???"insert your developer ID - upload the PHP file to wp-content/plugins/
- activate the plugin from the Dashboard, Plugins menu
- go to Presentation, Template Editor, Single Post and/or Main Index. Insert this
code where you want the video to appear:
<? youtubevideos(); ?> - when you post, use the code:
<!--youtube:YourTagHere-->to tell the plugin what video topic you want to show. For example, if you want a video on horses, put<!--youtube:horses-->at the end of your post. - that’s it. To change the number of videos shown or to tweak the filter settings, you have to modify that within the plugin PHP file itself.
- Let me know of any bugs you find, or any tweaks you have made (this is a community after all
)
Features
- Set how many videos to show, could be 1, could be 1,000
- Setup filters to block videos that contain bad keywords and keep your blog respectable
- Change the output template to display the videos any way you want to better incorporate it with your blog
- Manually add your own taggings to show videos you want.
Change Log
- May 13 I just looked through this code and it is pretty sloppy, sorry. Use this as an example or starting point for your own plugin — or, if it still works, use it. Just a heads up (don’t judge me by that code
)
- Oct 4 the new version needs to be tested – ill try to get to that today
- Oct 4 Thanks to Mr. Nuck Chorris, the SimpleTags is now phased out, I have updated the file.
- Oct 3 I removed the YouTube Developer ID, please use your own
- Oct 3 I am going to work on this again now that I am back. If you found bugs or have ideas for it, please send me an email and I will try to include them.

My site is currently under construction and undergoing some major changes, but I’m trying to get a decent blog structure in place. Not sure where to put the youtube code you have noted above. What do you mean by “single post”? If you’re back from vacation I’d definitely could use some guidance. Hope you had a nice time… Thanks in advance for the info…

DUDE YOU ROCK! I’m testing this out at [url=http://www.claycazier.com/]my site[/url] with a Cookie Monster video…
I made one change in the version I implemented: instead of requiring Simple Tags and limiting yourself to 1 tag, I changed the PHP to look for instead of what’s between [tags][/tags]. Works better – lets you put a video wherever you want from right inside WordPress’ visual editor by just sticking in what it reads as a comment.
Oh, and I saw WordPress decided to feature this plugin from the WordPress Dashboard… pretty cool.
Nuck Chorris September 28th
crap, that last post hid the way I call the keyword. I pull it inside a comment like this [code][/code]. Let’s see if this works/
Nuck Chorris September 28th
crap, it didn’t work.
try again:
I changed the code to look for <!–youtube:keyword–> instead of [tags][/tags]

Hi,
I am new to this…
I was wondering if there is a specific youtube video that I want to show, am I able to do it using this plugin?
I am using Wordpress 2.x. I have installed the plugin above, but I am not sure if i can point to a specific video.
Thanks.
Nuck Chorris October 3rd
I’m sure there’s an update coming, but the way to use this plugin is this:
1. upload the PHP file to wp-content/plugins/
2. activate the plugin from the Dashboard, Plugins menu
3. you must also have the SimpleTags v2 plugin installed
4. go to Presentation, Template Editor, Single Post and/or Main Index. Insert this code where you want the video to appear:
5. when you post, use the Simple Tags marker of [tags]anything[/tags] to tell the plugin what video topic you want to show. For example, if you want a video on horses, put [tags]horses[/tags] at the end of your post.
6. that’s it. To change the number of videos shown, you have to modify that within the plugin PHP file itself.
Nuck Chorris October 4th
Ok, if SimpleTags has been eliminated, this is how you use this plugin:
1. upload the PHP file to wp-content/plugins/
2. activate the plugin from the Dashboard, Plugins menu
3. go to Presentation, Template Editor, Single Post and/or Main Index. Insert where you want your videos to appear.
4. when you post, put the comment somewhere in the post. For example, if you want a video on horses, put somewhere in your post.
5. that’s it. To change the number of videos shown, you have to modify that within the plugin PHP file itself.

Can your plug-in be used to display the most recent (not the most “relevant”) videos with a certain tag?

hi everyone, anyone.
my website is at http://www.RisingIMStar.com.
I’m kinda desperate to be able to insert the Youtube or Google Video onto my wordpress blog.
I understand that this plugin is for searching for multiple content? Is there a way where I can use the embed html provided by youtube to just display a particular video?
Any help is super duper greatly explicitly implicitly appreciated!
cheers,

You tube is pretty east. Just follow the html instructions to insert movies in to your website.

How do you get this working. I have done exactly what is mentioned. But the videos just aren’t displayed. I then tried the Youtube URL with the dev id and tag to see if I get result feed. I am getting that but nothing seems to be working on the site.
BTW I created seperate page in the blog and paste on the page rather than the post.
Please advice

Hi there,
Know anyone which plugin to use if I want only a part of the article to be displayed? If someone want to read more there will be a “read more” link…
On my blog right now is displayed all of article content and I don’t want this…
I’m talking about the latest 10 articles displayed on the first page of my blog.
I’m using Wordpress.
Can anyone help?
