DD_J_plg_content_youtube_video

is a Joomla! content plugin to add YouTube videos inside an article.

Adapted from DD_J_plg_content_youtube_video *NOTE: * Content Plg ist always to be preferred if it is sufficient!

YouTube provides free video-hosting, this plugin allows to simple embed YouTube videos everywhere, in the extended privacy mode. There are options to define custom covers and playerparameters. By default it is setup for EU Privacy. This means the YouTube extended privacy mode ('youtube-nocookie' iframe url) and a special two-click solution to embed the frame not before clicking to your cover. Recommended for Member States of the European Union as well as for other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. If you don't wish the EU Privacy mode, extended privacy can also be specified at plugin settings. The other settings can be setup for each video through our snipped parameters.

Please take note of the privacy policy of your country. We provide no liability for legal correctness!

For extended usage it is possible to define iframe parameter (width, heigth, class and framborder), img parameter (width, heigth and class), as well as any YouTube Player url parameters like (autoplay, size, etc.. https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters)

YouTube API Thumbnail Generator

You can also enable to store thumbnails from YouTube API directly at your server to be konfirm with privacy. PHP Extension CURL is required. The Thumbnail API must be anabled and can only be defined at EU Privacy 'ON' mode.

How to use

The simplest way,

insert this snipped into your article:

{dd_yt_video}videoid:XXXXXXXXXXX{/dd}

Replace XXXXXXXXXXX with your Video ID
(The video ID is the part between v= and & of the YouTube video URL)

Or with a custom cover image

{dd_yt_video}videoid:XXXXXXXXXXX:cover:images/yourimagefile.jpg{/dd}

Replace images/yourimagefile.jpg width your cover image path
(The relative cover image path to your image file at your website)

Note: The attribute value pairs must always be as follows:
attribute:value:attribute:value
Colon is assignment operator as well as separator.

For extended usge,

you can define your insert snippet as follow:

An example with YouTube Player parameters:

{dd_yt_video}videoid:XXXXXXXXXXX:cover:images/yourimagefile.jpg:autoplay:1:controls:1{/dd}

An example with iframe and img parameters:

{dd_yt_video}videoid:XXXXXXXXXXX:cover:images/yourimagefile.jpg:width:640:height:360:class:pull-right{/dd}
