YouTube Brackets (WordPress Plugin)
Uncategorized
YouTube offers a service that sends a video you are watching to your blog. It does not send html-code to your blog, but a code like this:
[ youtube=http://youtube.com/watch?v=4yX1F_nTcfc]
This works fine for blogs hosted on wordpress.com, but with standalone setups of wordpress it doesn’t work at all.
That’s why I quickly put together a plugin that makes the bracket code work. I used the Quicktime posting plugin as a starter. Thank you, Shawn Van Every.
Usage
Setup your standalone wordpress blog at YouTube and send a video to your blog. Or just copy the url of the YouTube video you are watching and put it in your blog like this:
[ youtube=http://youtube.com/watch?v=4yX1F_nTcfc] (without the space between bracket and y, though).
You can also set the size of the video in your post. Do something like this: [ youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jjgk1-ac1I 150 100] (without the space between bracket and y, though).
YouTube.com directions
1. Go to YouTube.com
2. (Create an acount and) login
3. Go to ‘My Account/Account settings/Video posting Settings’
4. Choose ‘Add a Blog/Site’.
5. Choose ‘Wordpress Self-Hosted’, fill in username and password of your WP blog, fill in api URL (http://your blog’s URL/xmlrpc.php) and a random WP API key (get one here). and click on the ‘Add Blog’ button.
6. Watch a video at YouTube.com and choose ‘Post Video’ from the options below the video.
