A plugin that generates Youtube videos based on IDs. It can be used in your theme, or in your Markdown.

### 1.2 Installation (Download)

[](#12-installation-download)

### 2. Activation

[](#2-activation)

After you have installed the plugin. You need to add the following line to your `config.php` file:

- add `$config['plugins']['phile\\youtube'] = array('active' => true);` to your `config.php`

### Markdown Usage

[](#markdown-usage)

You can use this plugin in your Markdown files. It allows videos to be easy rendered without using any HTML in your Markdown.

#### Basic Examples:

[](#basic-examples)

Put the code in there. Watch the HTML spew out.

```
youtube=8GLMe371RuI
```

Make sure you left a break line before and after the code if your video is not showing up

You can add a start point in seconds too like this

```
youtube=8GLMe371RuI?start=60
```

Output:

```
All About PhileCMS
```

### Theme Usage

[](#theme-usage)

There will now be a new twig function called `youtube`. It takes a YouTube ID, and renders the HTML for the video!

#### Basic Examples:

[](#basic-examples-1)

Put the code in there. Watch the HTML spew out. *Assumes you have set `Video: 8GLMe371RuI` in your pages meta*.

```
{{ youtube(meta.video) }}
```

Output:

```
All About PhileCMS
```

#### Config

[](#config)

Here are the settings. See the above output for where everything goes.

```
'wrapper_class' => 'youtube-video', // parent class for iframe
'title_class' => 'youtube-title', // div clas for video title
'show_title' => true, // get the title
'title_tag' => 'h2', // wrap the title in this tag, can be false for none
'video_height' => 480, // standard height
'video_width' => 853 // standard width

```

**Fixed heights and widths?**

Because clients are crazy and will try to add a video at a bad size. I like to control what they are doing in the theme. I know what size will work better than they do.

### Why Use?

[](#why-use)

Clients are crazy. You want to make sure the HTML output is good and not a huge mess. Also autofetching the title is sweet.
