The Elgg Community

This plugin lets you display any number of Youtube videos in a gallery using a similar interface to the standard Elgg file plugin. Like the file plugin it supports group galleries and supplies a widget to display personal galleries.

In addition, admins can set a featured video and other plugins can display it (eg. on the front page) using the 'video/featured' view.

Warning: This plugin will not work with Elgg 1.5. it requires a recent version of Elgg from SVN or from a nightly build.

Bug reports and feature suggestions are welcome!

Acknowledgement: this plugin displays Youtube videos using code from Cash Costello's embedvideo plugin.

Thank you, I`d like to test. But, sorry, what do you mean by "it requires a recent version of Elgg from SVN"? Where can I get this?

Kos, if you don't know how to get Elgg from SVN, probably best to wait until the next release comes out.

Fantastic stuff Kevin. Looking forward to the next Elgg release so I can give this a go. I just finished lacing up the BETA version of my site and was thinking of how nice it would be to include some video tutorials. You must be a mind reader. Cheers.

Kevin, personally, I download the nightlies and from SVN, but I am curious, do you know if an Elgg 1.6 or 1.7 official version will be coming out any time soon? ...Nice work on your plugin. Genius, as always.

Hi Kevin. Is there any way to get the thumbnail view of the featured video instead of the player? Or a tiny player like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wolfr/2902693504/

My custom index is getting a bit crowded :)

It seems that Cash's plugin had the option to set the width in the settings. Can this feature be brought back?
