Joomla 1.5 YouTube Plugin

This plugin is a quick and easy way to display YouTube videos within articles in your Joomla 1.5 website. We also have the JooTube - Joomla YouTube module which allows you to insert YouTube videos as a module position.

Download 

Please Register and Login to download.

Demo 

 You can see the demo at Joomla 1.5 YouTube Plugin Demo

Install and Enable

To install the module, simple go to Extensions > Install / Uninstall, choose the file you have downloaded above and click on the upload and install button. Once you have installed it is very important that the plugin is enabled. Go to Extensions > Plugin Manager, and enable the Joomla YouTube plugin as show in the figure below.

Enable Joomla YouTube Plugin

Usage

One the plugin has been enabled, you just need to insert the correct syntax into the article where you want the YouTube video to be embedded.

Go to Content > Article Manager and choose the article where you want to show the YouTube video and insert the content similar to the example below and save the article.

Syntax Joomla YouTube

Usage: { youtube:videourl } where the url is simple the video address from YouYube. E.g. { youtube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47DT41m86N4 }. To specify the width and height use: {  youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47DT41m86N4 200 100  } where 200 is the width and 100 is the height 

E.g. for video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47DT41m86N4

use: {  youtube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47DT41m86N4 }

Please remember to remove ALL spaces before and after opening and closing brackets and between colon. They are provided in the example such that they do not get replaced by the video.

TroubleShooting

If you experience problems with the plugin, make sure that your editor is not inserting extra HTML code into the youtube plugin trigger. Take a look at the HTML in the editor and make sure it is clean. You can have as many videos as you want in any Joomla page.

Support

Please post to the forums of you need help in configuring the module.

petranka  - Doesn't work in modules?   |Registered |2008-04-23 12:18:21
Does this plugin work in modules (mod_custom)? I've got it working in a regular
content page, but it is not working in a module. Thanks.

Oh my gosh -- I LOVE this component. I'd love to take credit for figuring out
how to put youtube on my site, but truth is there was no work involved. Just
download, install, find a video on youtube.com and WHAM - it was done. GOOD
JOB! Thanks!

This plugin will ONLY work in Joomla 1.5, at least for now. We might someday
develop a version for 1.0, but for now you won't be able to get it to work with
1.0

I have 4 videos in the

DART  - More than one video   |Registered |2008-07-24 17:33:02
Hi letoltok,

the plugin works with more than one video. Make sure your Editor
is not messing up the plugin code, and inserting extra characters into the
plugin trigger.

DART  - YouTube   |SAdministrator |2008-10-19 14:54:43
mohammed, there is probably an editor in the article which is interfering with
the text, probably inserting some formatting, and thus the plugin is not being
activated. This is not actually a problem with the plugin, but with the way that
the editor is saving the HTML of the article.
DART  - Positions   |SAdministrator |2008-10-19 14:57:51
Since this is a plugin it only works in the article and will not work within a
position. This is standard Joomla functionality
Steve DiFranco   |Registered |2008-12-28 03:55:53
Thanks for making a great little plug in. Installing it was easy. My problem
is that when I click on the window in my article, I get sent back to youtube to
play the video. When I go back to my article the video is playing. What did I
do wrong? My youtube link is below



Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,
Steve DiFranco
DART  - Steve   |SAdministrator |2008-12-28 07:17:16
That is by design how embedding YouTube works. Each YouTube video is a link to
the YouTube website. You don't need to click on the video window itself, just on
the control buttons.
candihot   |70.110.192.xxx |2009-01-12 01:40:13
The question was...can this work as a module? What is the answer? I don't see a
response to that question!!! I know many people want to know if so, because as
it stands there is no easy video code module out there that works without
problems. Also where do you download this plugin and how do you write the code
into mod_custom. It seems this is only for content and not for modules. Please
clarify this because it is VERY misleading to many of us searching for a Joomla
1.5 streaming video mod (eg. for youtube, google or your own .flv)
Much
appreciated.

could someone help me please?

Hi people,
I'm new to Joomla!, but I'm enjoying it.

How can I avoid YouTube

Thank you

At present I'm using another plugin, but don't know how to do that either
DART     |Administrator |2009-04-03 10:47:45
You would need to add a rel=0 tag to the end of the video link. At this point
this functionality has not been implemented yet.

real estate  - How to left align a video     |124.184.169.xxx |2009-06-10 14:45:24
Hi, Im using allvideos plugin at present because I hadn't heard about yours
at teh time I installed ( so maybe I'll change )

Can you tell me
why normal html align tags dont cause the text to left align around my
video here - Australian http://real estate

As you'll see the video is fine but I can only centre it and it looks
worse than if I aligned the text around it.

Please note I was able
to achieve alignmnet with an image directly above, but not with the
video.

I have tried with my text editor on and also with it off but it
makes noi difference.

Any help would be appreciated and feel free
to tell me why I should use your plugin instead..cheers and thanks - Andrew

This is a known bug with a specific combination of HTML in IE and not a specific

Thanks for the reply..

The plugin worked fine in my J.1 site but in the J1.5
site on the same server, it causes this problem..

Are there any workarounds
please?
DART   |Administrator |2009-08-05 13:32:52
Well it typically is a combination of the plugin / template which is the
problem. No particular is available, except trying a different template... as
you can see on the demo, it works fine on 1.5
sisaenko   |208.83.141.xxx |2009-08-31 15:43:30
Is it possible to have the video auto play on entrance to the page and whats the
syntax?

Thanks,

I also would like to know if there is a way to CSS style the
player, and what is the syntax for that.

Thanks,

great plugin, good work.
DART   |Administrator |2009-09-01 17:48:32
Erm .. it is a bit difficult to style a plugin, though the YouTube module CAN be
styled. Autoplay has not been implemened, however if you want to you can edit
the code of the plugin to add the AutoPlay parameter...
