If you have installed the module correctly, and enabled it in your artist/member quotas, they should see the menu option to embed the YT videos.
You also need to modify your theme templates as well - there is example code in the module package.

Is that what you mean?

Thanks for the reply Pasher - I have it working now but was wondering how I could change the section where you enter the youtube id to allow the user just paste in the full you tube url instead. I find when I try to explain what to do with the you tube id my users sometimes get confused and I think it would make better sense just to allow them paste the full url instead of just the you tube id - How would I go about making the relevant changes to the code and where?

Appreciate your help (or anyone else for that matter!)

Cheers

If the full YT URL was entered as the 'ID', all you would need to do in the skin or theme templates is to change the embed code from

<object width="240" height="194"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{$YOUTUBE_VIDEO_ID}&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/{$YOUTUBE_VIDEO_ID}&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="240" height="194"></embed></object>

to

<object width="240" height="194"><param name="movie" value="{$YOUTUBE_VIDEO_ID}&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="{$YOUTUBE_VIDEO_ID}&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="240" height="194"></embed></object>

Ie. take out the YT domain part.

If I was doing this, I'd put some more error checking in the paYouTubePlus.php file -

Code

// Error Checking - YouTube ID is required         if (strlen($_post['youtube_video_id']) != 11) {             setFormHighlight('youtube_video_id');             jrSetFormNotice('error',$language['paYouTubePlus'][6]);             jrLocation('paYouTubePlus.php?mode=create');         }

At the moment it just checks for a correct ID string length. You'd need a more thorough check that it is a valid YT URL somehow.

Cheers
Pa
