For some months now I’ve neglected my faithful users with absolutly no updates and/or bug fixes. For me the widgets have been a leisure project with no plans to use them commercially nor as a career change.
I’m still uncertain whether I’ll get any spare time to pick up where I left in the forseeable future. On the other hand it is comforting to know that the code is out there for anyone to improve and develop further.
Look at this as a small sign of life from me, and an open invitation to those of you feeling tempted to carry on where I left. It is actually fun if you have the time and very rewarding to watch the download numbers just ticking away.
I will continue to write, and keep the site running so let’s just keep in touch.

I’ve updated the Daiko’s YouTube Widget with support for “Post in Category(-ies)” conditional testing. That means that you will be able to specify that the widget will only display on certain posts belonging to certain category (or categories). The widget will also display on the respective Category archive pages.
Please enjoy and report any problems with it. Since this widget actually includes two widgets (the videoplayer also), make sure you test the flexibility of being able to change the way you display the video’s from the various YouTube widgets you have running.
Download it here: Daiko’s YouTube Widget
Have fun!

After a question from one of my users I’ve included an additional conditional tag option in the widget that shows the widget only on posts belonging to a specific category or even a collection of categories. It will also display on the respective category archives.
Check it out and please give me feedback on it’s functionality.
You find it here.

I’ve been trying hard to find a good CSS solution to the play button issue in IE with limited luck. That is why I’ve now decided to provide you all with an update that will work on all plattforms (I guess). I’ve decided to put the video thumbnail in as a background image and use a transparent gif play button on top. The only problem with this solution is that you loose control over the size of the background image, thus just get a cropped view of the thumbnail when using the small and medium size thumbnails.
The other update is that I’ve made sure that the widget doesn’t display any before and after widget code on pages you don’t show the widget using conditional tags. It still displays comment code to assist users in debugging.
Tell me what you think and if you css freaks out there have a better solution, give me a shout.

I have brushed up Daiko’s YouTube Widget with a couple of small, but important, fixes.
- It now produces valid XHTML code - Sorry for not doing that right away
- It will now also show the video if you only insert 1 single video - I didn’t even know that until I got noticed by one of my users since it was always meant to show many.
So go grab your very own copy of the widget and have fun!

I learned that the widget didn’t play well with installations where wordpress was installed in a different folder than the home page. I tried to fix that and thought I had solved it in version 1.1.10. Well that wasn’t exactly true. Now it should be alright though. Give version 1.1.11 a spin instead. Go download the latest version of Daiko’s YouTube Widget here.

I’ve just updated Daiko’s YouTube Widget with a fix to address the ever returning conflict between plugins/themes/widgets using prototype.js and mine that uses jquery.js. In addition I’ve used WPs built in script loader to prevent jquery.js being loaded more than once. This means that the widget is only compatible with WP 2.1+ so make sure to upgrade your Wordpress installation at the same time.
Enjoy!

I must appologize to all of you for the broken download links to my new widget. Well the fact is that all download links were broken. I moved to a new server and there was a change in path that was not corrected. Thank you Rich for notifying me.

I have updated Daiko’s Video Widget with a bug fix addressing the appearance of the Google Video Simple mode player in IE (surprise!?). As a hardcore FF and Safari user I wasn’t aware of this bug and ask all users for forgiveness in being late with this update.
Now it is fixed so please enjoy the new version 2.05 of Daiko’s Video Widget.
