Love this extension!
It took me a long time to figure out that the video will not play with the standard address from the youtube address bar. For example, this address does not work:
...com/watch?v=amfKeu8GTaI&
but this address does work (same exact youtube video and page)
...com/v/amfKeu8GTaI&

I love it, it is a standard install on any site I do. The one thing I would request is a tutorial in text form. The videos on your site take a long time to load and there's no clicking for a load point. Though once the video is loaded it is a great tutorial, it would be nice to just have a quick cheat sheet to glance at if you're in a hurry.
I tried Ninja's tool and the shadowbox from the london site and these did not work in IE8 or IE6 and were full of bugs. I grabbed Yooeffects and was worried I'd be out of options. It Works in IE6, IE8 and Firefox. I will try more browsers but these seem to be the biggies now.
GREAT job guys!
GREAT job guys!
This is great extension, but it has a serious code flaw in the plugins/system/yoo_effects.php file. After you activate this plugin, check to see if you're getting an error with your rss feeds. If you, this will likely fix it.
1. open plugins/system/yoo_effects.php
2. Locate this code at the bottom of the file:
$document =& JFactory::getDocument();
if ($javascript) $document->addCustomTag($javascript);
if ($lightbox) $document->addStyleSheet($plugin_base . 'lightbox/shadowbox.css');
}
3. Replace with this code:
// add javascript and css
$format = $_GET['format'];
if ( !$format=='feed' ) {
$document =& JFactory::getDocument();
if ($javascript) $document->addCustomTag($javascript);
if ($lightbox) $document->addStyleSheet($plugin_base . 'lightbox/shadowbox.css');
}
}

It's a great extension. However, there's a conflict between addcustomtag() function and the pdf core generation.
To fix it, just open the yoo_effect.php file and, at the end, put a conditional so replace:
if ($javascript) $document->addCustomTag($javascript);
if ($lightbox) $document->addStyleSheet($plugin_base . 'lightbox/shadowbox.css');
by
if ($_GET['format'] !=pdf ){
if ($javascript) $document->addCustomTag($javascript);
if ($lightbox) $document->addStyleSheet($plugin_base . 'lightbox/shadowbox.css');
}
That's all.

Great tool. Brilliant in all aspects I thought, until...
Fatal error: Call to undefined method JDocumentRAW::addCustomTag() in plugins\system\yoo_effects.php on line 56
Seems to not play nice with other Extentions / Components. Google'd the error and was astounded by the extent of this occurence. The "pretty" usefulness of this plugin is outweighed by the need to have functioning components on a website.
Will have to remove it and try again when this is fixed.

I really like this plugin, the fact it includes 3 different features all rolled into one. It's easy to install and the script is compressed makes load time really quick.
I have to admit the spotlight feature I don't really like but the lightbox and reflection I use thought my site.
The lightbox in particular creates a really stylish affect, great for displaying youtube videos or content from other sites without letting the user leave your site.
Downside?
You do need to join a membership site to get this. But with membership you to get access to lots of other modules and templates.
