Usage
To include a Youtube Video, you modify the url like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=123456789
[youtube 123456789]
To include a Video from Vimeo, you modify the url like this:
http://www.vimeo.com/1234567

Here’s my modification of your YOUTUBE_TARGET definition:
define("YOUTUBE_TARGET", "<object type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" data=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/###URL###\" width=\"".YOUTUBE_WIDTH."\" height=\"".YOUTUBE_HEIGHT."\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/###URL###&border=0\" /><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\" /></object><br /><br /><a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=###URL###\">Direct link to video at Youtube</a>");
Note the wmode parameter and the addition of border=0 to the url. It makes things prettier.
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion, I’m sorry you had to try to post it three times..
The suggestion with the wmode parameter is very good, but in the line
value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/###URL###&border=0\"is sadly not XHTML valid. But no matter, i worked it out, it gets valid if you type
value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/###URL###&border=0;\"Many Thanks, I’ll switch to the next version ;)

I must have forgotten to double-escape the ampersand when I posted the last time. :-) Thanks for your quick response!

Hi. I just installed the most recent version of VideoWarrior. It works very well. Thank you.
One thing I would change, if possible, is the language of the link it generates: “Direktlink zum Video auf Youtube.” I would prefer to have this in English: “Direct Link to Youtube Video.”
Is there something I can do to make this happen?
Thanks again. I appreciate having such a functional plugin.

Hi, I just updated to Version 1.0.3, now you can change in the videowarrior.php file the two lines from
$ylink = "Direktlink zum Video auf Youtube"; //Change here for Youtube
$glink = "Direktlink zum Video auf Google-Video"; //Change here for Google Video
to
$ylink = "Direct Link to Youtube Video"; //Change here for Youtube
$glink = "Direct Link to Google Video"; //Change here for Google Video
Have Fun with it..
