Re: [BETA] YouTube Videos Mod

Post by rigoberto »

Keith, our MOD is working great and I truly love it because members actually see what's on there and they too enjoy it.

I don't have any problems. However, I am posting because I want to either know if it's possible or give this suggestion to see if maybe you can do this for us who need it or would like it.

Now that you told us how to edit key words so that those videos show, I would like or suggest the following.

* A way to Add a title with big letters above the big displayed video.

This would be great for a forum like mine because this way, I can add a title every week showing the key videos for that week. So if this week I want to show "coin collection", then those are the videos that will show. Next week, I would title it "Vintage radio collection", so for that week, vintage radio collection will show etc etc..

Maybe there is a place to add a title on top or something you can add so we can add?
Thank you in advance for all the support and great MOD of course.

@ Peter77sx - Thanks for sharing.

@ Rigoberto - You're referring to a Page Title. I'll put the edits together and post the instructions.

Code: Select all

Language file ./language/en/mods/youtube_lang.php couldn't be opened.
I get this error after doing the mods for the installation, can anyone help me please?

I've deleted the root folder & undone the functions page edit & my forums are now back up if that helps?

Is the mod currently installed? If so, provide a link to your site.

thanks for the reply keith, no I uninstalled it as the forums are live & I need them working. I left the css mods in place but uninstalled the root folder & undid the functions.php edit as explained.

Here's a link to the forums, I'm going to have another go now...http://www.kayakfishinguk.net/Forum/php ... /index.php

I do have the brilliant mchat mod installed which uses functions.php for mods too if that's worth anything?

update: I'm nearly there after reinstalling the mod. Now all I have is a broken link:

{YOUTUBE_VIDEOS_MOD_LINK}

I'm sure its human error :roll:

It seems that as soon as I edit the functions.php file everything dies! I remove the code addition & it works again :?

Send me your functions.php in a pm.

Once the functions.php edits are corrected the link appear fine (if the edit(s) were done correctly).

Verify that you have this file uploaded to your site:

/root/language/en/mods/youtube_lang.php

Also, I'm not seeing any of the files that belong in your youtube root folder.

I don't understand this Keith? It tells you to copy the root folder to your root directory & that has all the other files in (en/language...) etc.

I opened the install_mod.xml file in IE and follwed the instructions so it looks like I failed miserably :oops:

You're supposed to upload the files to the root directory of your "phpBB" installation ;)

In your particular case, after uploading the files you should see the following in your phpBB directory:
  • phpBB3/youtube/ (a bunch of files from the mod in here)
  • phpBB3/youtube.php (the actual video page)

If can't get it, PM me a temporary FTP account and I'll upload it for you.
