Some help with videos on my forum.....

[rob0213]

Ok, I have seen other forums do this, but my attempt at it failed miserably, lol. So I am looking for a hand with this.

I'd like to do a few things involving video with my site. I've managed to create a homepage, and at the bottom (or anywhere, I can always move it, i suppose), I'd like to have videos.

Now, Ideally, I'd like to have a youtube player on my site, where guests can do searches for their videos or their choice. I've seen this done, so i know it is possible, I just havent been able to figure it out.

I've also seen where you have a movie title (or image of movie cover) and when you click it, the movie plays in full. I have no idea how this was done, or if its even doable. Obviouslty, I don't want to do anythign illeagal, so that is why I am asking for help.

I have the site bookmarked, so I can PM it to someone if they can help. I'd send a PM to that member, but i don't see the admin listed, plus its not in english, lol.

If anyone can assist me with this, I'd sure be greatful!

Thanks,
Rob

I can, and know how to put a youtube player on. Is it for your channel, or just a plain old youtube search?

Uhhhh......wha?

[MustangMan99]

Anyway, how do you want help? Do you know how to add codes for widgets onto your portal?

Hello,

You can go to youtube.com and get the embed code of the video that you want to put. Now you just need to copy and paste the embed code of the video.

Well, yeah you can. But that's not what he wanted. I think he wanted a widget for it, so he could have a mini youtube on his site.

Yes, I want a tube player that people can just search for whatever they want. I do know how to add widgets and such, I just need the code.

[MustangMan99]

Just google it. Youtube Player for Website. Get the code, make a new widget!

....I want a tube player that people can just search for whatever they want....

Try this... Go to: https://www.youtube.com/music Find a video you want Click "Embed" Customize the player style Copy embed code *Create a widget with the code Place your widget on the *portal

Players have search bars (use the up arrow)






Here is the code I used for *a test site YouTube widget

Code:

<center>
<object width="445" height="364"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1HUuG1vg5lY&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1HUuG1vg5lY&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"></embed></object>

</center>

(It's placed in a table to allow a different widget background)

Admin panel view creating widget [click]

And/or... you could use a popup "YouTube Movies" link

Code:

<table border="0"><tr><td><img src="http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k57/RoNo1/movies2.gif" border="0" style="float: left;"></td> <td><a onclick="window.open('http://www.youtube.com/movies', 'popup2', 'width=1000,height=650,height=200,left=150,top=150,scrollbars=yes'); return false" href="http://www.youtube.com/movies" target="popup2" style="text-decoration: none;" title="Popup YouTube Movies">YouTube Movies</a></td></tr><table>

Test the code in *this editor
