YouTube Plugin

I agree! That is the same plugin as I've refered to in my last posting. I just posted the link to Joomla! Extensions site instead of the plugin's author homepage which is the JoomlaWorks.gr. This is truly a fine plugin and I use it on my website for streaming video within the main content.

It will be wonderful if someone can work it out as a CB plugin.

Well, let's generate some interest -- let's pool a few dollars together and see if we can get a developer.

I'm in for some development money!

I've been thinking that the solution for this one might be to make a JCE editor plugin out of AllVideos.

Then anyone with the permissions you set can add videos to any CB field enabled with an editor (i.e. a creative tab), and the interface for embedding external videos would then be a little more intuitive for users than the usual {youtube}3123043{/youtube} plugin nonsense.

Of course, writing plugins for JCE isn't as easy as for CB. Lots of JavaScript.

One simpler solution than implementing a JCE plugin would be to make it somehow that the Video tab would provide a few simple text fields which when the user enters the YouTube Video's identifying code from YouTube.com and save the input, it automatically puts the {youtube}{/youtube} tags around the captured code and displays the video.

On my site, I only provide the WYSIWYG editor access to authorized persons for security reasons and General Membership can only provide plain text information on their profile.

Also, as I mentioned before, I'll be happy to click the donation button anytime someone releases a useful tool that I can use on my community website.
Regards,

Ya I was thinking of something simpler too. Like being able to select from a drop down list of all the supported feeds. Then the user puts in their feed URL and it strips the unnecessary crap and just puts the ID in and streams. It seems it was only made for the site administrator rather than visitors, but I think it would be great to have a front in interface.

Jeffason is right, all you need to do is create a text field tab and put the same code in. I just put in the description for the tag the instructions and it works just fine, you really can't do much more with it. That I can think of anyway. But the all video plug in is still good for the front page content.
