Extension talk:YouTube (Iubito)

Well ... I followed your instructions and there weren't any errors. However, how do I add a link for the youTube in the navigation menu at my wiki so my members know it even exists?

Full URL should also work
Is there a way users can also use the full URL of a Youtube video? People are not used to deleting part of a YouTube URL. The way to do this could be:
 * IF $input string starts with "http:", THEN use this as the embed code directly - ELSE (do as you have done).--Matt57 05:24, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

More Parameters
If you want to add some parameters like

ID|width|height|style

use the following code instead of the one provided before (just replace this one procedure):

# The callback function for converting the input text to HTML output function renderYouTube($input) { $params = explode ("|", $input); $id = $params[0]; $width = 425; $height = 350; $addStyle = ''; if (count($params) > 1) { $width = $params[1]; if (count($params) > 2) { $height = $params[2]; if (count($params) > 3) { $addStyle = ' style="'. $params[3] . '"'; }             }           }        $output=''               .'' .'  ' .' ';        return $output; }

Anywhere on your page, you just type the following information:

VideoID

Where the "VideoID" is the code follows after "watch?v=" In the following case, it is WZpeeRSk-0A url http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZpeeRSk-0A

Good-luck!

YouTube opens up in new window
This works great embedding the YouTube video except when hitting the PLAY arrow, a new window opens up to the full YouTube page versus playing the video embedded in the page as your sample does. Am I doing something wrong or has something changed?

Thanks! -Larry

FYI, I copied the .php codes from the article page not from the discussion page, and I use the simplified sintax as I mentioned above. My videos are running as they should.--Kohyin 07:35, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Revvr
Would it be possible to modify this extension, to play videos from the revver site?--Rovo 22:31, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Tabe of Contents broken by this extension
Hi all...anyone noticed that if you use this extension in a page that has a Table of Contents that the section link to the one below the section that has the video in it actually ends up going to the section with the video in it? (clear as mud?) The work around is to a a single character after the video. ChuckMcB

XSS Vulnerability Example
For an example of how this extension is vulnerable to XSS attacks, consider the following: " id="deleteme">  var dm=document.getElementById('deleteme'); dm.parentNode.removeChild(dm); alert('XSS Attack Here!'); <embed style="display:none --Jimbojw 16:31, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
