As referred to in YouTube API for Drupal on the Way, beeradb has now opened the YouTube API module for development. He and I have been working to polish it up and make it ready for release.
You can take a look at the YouTube search on this site if you want to try it out! You can currently search YouTube for tags or users from the form, and see the results right here.
Obviously, that's just the tip of the iceberg. There are some cool things planned for it in the near term, such as integration with Media Mover, Embedded Media Field, and yes, Rob, I haven't forgotten about Annotation Field...
And of course, the holy grail of single site integration of a YouTube video upload from your browser...
I've set up a sliding show schedule header for Air America, although unfortunately, you can't preview it yet. (That'll launch in April). I found a good use for the hoverIntent module there: when you scroll over a show icon, the upcoming show information will be displayed below. Usually, you would just use jQuery's .mouseOver event for that. However, using hoverIntent, it slows down the reaction, so if you zip your mouse past an icon, it won't automatically set the text: you'll instead need to intentionally point your mouse at it for half a second. I believe this makes the animation much smoother.
Views Slideshow uses that module if it's enabled as well. Note that hoverIntent requires jQ and (if you're using Drupal 5) jQuery Update.
Here's the snippet I used:
I've finally decided to set up a personal blog, which you are looking at right now. I can usually find a few minutes a day to write about whatever's going on, but haven't had a decent forum for some of it, or stuff gets all scattered.
As most of my day is spent working with Drupal, it makes sense that Drupal will get the bulk of these writings. For the purposes of Planet Drupal, those will get sorted on my Drupal blog, whereas the rest will get scattered here and there (until I come up with other relevant categories).
Hi:
Quick question - can i embed a private YT video using the above method?
I would really appreciate some help here, thank you :)
Kind regards,
Michael.
very nice
We're considering using drupal for a new electrical business that we are starting here in New Zealand. This has helped cement my ideas about it. Thanks!
I'm having theming problems, could you explain how you themed yours? Mine is here - http://iommo.com/feature and it's really bare bones. Thanks for a great demonstration!
@Danny Concannon, you've never sat beside someone who knew nothing about the things you do, and watched them try to post something/anything on Drupal, have you?
I wish this was available for D6.
