A plugin that generates Youtube videos based on IDs. It can be used in your theme, or in your Markdown.

• use in Markdown
• use in templates with Twig
• auto grab the title

php composer.phar require phile/youtube:*

• Install Phile
• Clone this repo into plugins/phile/youtube

After you have installed the plugin. You need to add the following line to your config.php file:

• add $config['plugins']['phile\\youtube'] = array('active' => true); to your config.php

You can use this plugin in your Markdown files. It allows videos to be easy rendered without using any HTML in your Markdown.

Put the code in there. Watch the HTML spew out.

youtube=8GLMe371RuI

Make sure you left a break line before and after the code if your video is not showing up

You can add a start point in seconds too like this

youtube=8GLMe371RuI?start=60

Output:

<div class="youtube-video"><iframe width="853" height="480" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/8GLMe371RuI?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><div class="youtube-title"><h2>All About PhileCMS</h2></div></div>

There will now be a new twig function called youtube. It takes a YouTube ID, and renders the HTML for the video!

Put the code in there. Watch the HTML spew out. Assumes you have set Video: 8GLMe371RuI in your pages meta.

{{ youtube(meta.video) }}

Output:

<div class="youtube-video"><iframe width="853" height="480" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/8GLMe371RuI?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><div class="youtube-title"><h2>All About PhileCMS</h2></div></div>

Here are the settings. See the above output for where everything goes.

'wrapper_class' => 'youtube-video', // parent class for iframe
'title_class' => 'youtube-title', // div clas for video title
'show_title' => true, // get the title
'title_tag' => 'h2', // wrap the title in this tag, can be false for none
'video_height' => 480, // standard height
'video_width' => 853 // standard width

Fixed heights and widths?

Because clients are crazy and will try to add a video at a bad size. I like to control what they are doing in the theme. I know what size will work better than they do.

Clients are crazy. You want to make sure the HTML output is good and not a huge mess. Also autofetching the title is sweet.
