Embed YouTube Video
This is a simple plugin that enables you to embed a
YouTube∞ video into a wiki page.
Usage
When you view a video at YouTube there is a small box to the right of the video titled 'About this video'. There is a text box labeled
URL that contains the URL you can use to share the video with others. NOTE: this plugin uses this URL as it's input - not the URL included in the object/embed tag.
{{youtube url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXXXXXXXXXX" [width="425" height="350" bgcolor="#ffffff"]}}
- 'url' is required (see note above)
- 'width' is optional. Defaults to 425 (the standard YouTube dimensions)
- 'height' is optional. Defaults to 350 (the standard YouTube dimensions)
- 'bgcolor' is optional. Defaults to white (#ffffff)
Install
Add youtube.php to the actions folder of your Wikka install.
