Youtube4Joomla Module

YouTube for Joomla is a module that publishes a YouTube user's videos through a feed. You can specify a user feed or a standard feed such as top rated, top favorites most viewed, most popular and recently featured as well as several other types. Another handing feature is the ability to specify a region and a video category. The module parameters can be changed to accomodate a specific look and feel, and include basic and advanced parameters such as video player width and height, thumbnail image size, video count and whether you want the videos to layout horizontally or vertically. All built on proper MVC layout for easy to modify code and layout!

This once must been a great extension as if you see all features it had, But now sadly It hasnt been in development for over 7 months and many bugs and errors have occurred. It still kinda Works if you use *User feeds* but most other functions dont work as said.. Overall it needs an update...

Downloaded it, placed it in an area, connected to a youtube channel for our car club and it worked, right away. Could perhaps do with a little bit more information on dimensions but otherwise exactly what we needed. Well done!!
This module is a nice addition to my site and I rated it well but it does have some issues. Like others have mentioned it seems to have been abandoned. The module still works but is now broken and can only show user feeds. Even with its limitations it is still a very nice extension and as long as you only use user feeds it works perfectly. I wish someone would spend some time updating it to function properly and maybe add all the new categories from youtube as options.

I use it to show game trailers on my site that I upload and for that it works well I don't have to write a full article out for every game that comes out. I can just upload it and let the module do its work.

Final thoughts ... yes its broken ... is it useless? ... not yet, it just needs a little love to get it back to where it was ;)

Very nice extension, works great. Hopefully it will be continued to be expanded ... I would have liked to be able to display my latest favourites too as an extra option (besides my own movies).
Great module, works fine on Joomla 1.5.8, great pupup window to view the video's.

The only thing is it doesn' refresh gallery of video's. For a week it stays the same...

It's a pity that nobody works on this module any more and they don't even moderate their forum on Joomplanet...
Nevertheless Joomla rulez!

Well I just tested this module out and I noticed right away it was lacking the option to do YouTube's New HD streaming video and I was unable to get this module to do HD with all the common tweaks that's been made public.

When watching videos using the YouTube player, it does not have a "Full Screen" icon.

You do not have the option to specify specific videos, you can select a username from YouTube and it will display ALL of their videos but not individual videos of your choice per module.

It lacks a paging option where you have several videos on a single page whereas each page has multiples of 5x5 or 5x4 and the ability to have multiple pages, i.e.; Previous (1),2,3,4 Next

Other then the lacking features listed above, this module is great for use on small sites where you can embed a few videos in specific spot on the site.

The popup YouTube video windows when clicking on a thumbnail is a great feature though.

Since this module is only v1.0, I do expect some better features in the future.
