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.

Just as Steve Jobs announced the stunning new iPhone at the MacWorld in San Francisco, I’m ready to give it my full support by releasing an update of Daiko’s Video Widget.
Watch the presentation closely and note that iPhone does widgets. So do I!
I’m just not big enough (yet) to be asked to join the board of Apple Inc. (note the name change) or been asked to come present my widget during the keynote.
What the heck… I’ll just keep on doing what I do, and hopefully I’ll some day come up with something that will stunn the world.
Enjoy version 2.04 of Daiko’s Video Widget in the mean time!
(By the way did you notice the battery life of the iPhone? 5 hours talk time!)

I have made some small (but visually important) updates to Daiko’s Video Widget. The Google Video Player has not been very pretty in narrow sidebars. Now Google has added a Simple mode to the player and that is now an optional value for you to choose in the widget control panel.
This brings the widget up to version 2.03.
A next idea/project is to make a pop-up player for the video widget to, so that your users optionally can get the same functionallity as the VideoBar users. The response to the pop-up player has been very good, and I’m considering making it simple for people to use the same pop-up player for videos from Google and YouTube as well as from MySpace. The idea is to make a simple javascript that people can call from within posts and pages to play videos via a simple link.
Another extension of the Video Widget is to give users the ability to page through the video list and/or have the same kind of link-list as Daiko’s Google VideoBar has. Keep the ideas coming and I’ll see what I can do!.
