Daiko’s YouTube Widget
As some of you may have noticed, I’ve added a sidebar widget that displays YouTube Videos as images. This is “Work in progress” and will in a not too distant future result in a YouTube Widget. It will have a twist since it displays images and not videos in the sidebar. Thanks to YouTube and their use of the video ID also as an image ID it is relatively easy to make a widget displaying the videos in the way shown to your right.
I’m also considering to include a plugin for this one that allows the users to publish videos from YouTube in their post with an option to only post the image and keep the actual video as a popup. Any thoughts on that?
The functionality increases of course when using ThickBox and swfObjects so thank you Cody Lindlay and Geoff Stearns for that.
Comment here if you want to influence on this project and stay tuned.
yes that video widget is RAD! Please release it. Thanks for being bright enough to make these widgets so peeps like us can use em.
Take care
