Sorry - only one channel :-) But you can change the channel it *watches* at any time

All the best - Barnaby

Sorry, I'm using Joomla 2.5

Good morning Tracey

You will need to enter the Channel ID now rather than the YouTube user's ID. This is due to a very recent YouTube API change.

Please enter the Channel ID (for Jamie Oliver this is UCpSgg_ECBj25s9moCDfSTsA)

Then set the last run to 0 and it should run correctly. You will find that your videos are imported to the Article Manager and saved as new articles.

All the best, Barnaby Dixon

Hi Rick,

Thank you for getting in touch.

AutoTube has been updated to work with the new YouTube API - you'll just need to download the latest version and update your AutoTube settings.

There are 2 changes to be aware of.

Firstly, the description is no longer available from the YouTube API, so unfortunately the video description can't be imported.

Secondly, it now works with Channel IDs rather than your YouTube user name. So if you view one of your videos, and then click your User Name, it'll open the Channel, which looks like www.youtube.com/channel/ABC123 . Take the ID there, and use it to specify which channel to import videos from.

I hope that helps! All the best - Barnaby Dixon

Please ensure you have at least 64Mb memory available to PHP, or even better 128Mb or more.

All the best, Barnaby Dixon

Hi Chris,

Yes... use some CSS rules such as:

.autotube_holder {
width: 100% !important;
}

.autotube_holder iframe {
width: 100% !important;
}

All the best, Barnaby Dixon

Hi Marlon,

The best way to do this is first import from one channel, then switch to a second channel.

All the best, Barnaby Dixon

After the plugins created an article the youtube video cannot be zoom. The zoom icon is not available.

Thanks

Hi Marlon,

Can you send me a link to the page where this is happening? You can email me privately via 'Contact Us' if you prefer.

Thanks, Barnaby

Hi Dean,

Great question! If you want to upgrade, please let me know within 30 days of your first purchase. The charge is just the difference in price (£10 for AutoTube)

All the best, Barnaby Dixon

Hi there,

Thank you for your question.

I'm not completely sure I know what you mean... but just so you know, the way autotube works is to create one article for each video.

I think that it will be easier if you set up the page you need manually. It sounds quite complex, and will require css, javascript and iframes, so it would be more suited to be set up as a module than as an article.

All the best, Barnaby Dixon

Follow up to my question.
If one of the video's (clip 1/5) is already created to an article is there a way to have a link to the next video like next (clip 2/5) automatically if your autotube detect that there is a consecutive clips available on the channel?

Thanks

i hope you will create a module (autotube in tab menu).
I really need this to my website it will save a bunch of time.

Thanks

Hi again,

I'm sorry - I don't have time to create a custom module at the moment. Sorry about that.

All the best, Barnaby Dixon

I think I get what you are asking for Lupong.
I'm looking at this extension for what I want... it does the job.
But for what you are looking for is may this.
Upload your videos to YouTube.. or create a Play List of them.
Then assuming since posing here you're a Joomla site.
I have this on both my fine painting art and my estate sale business site.
I've very flexible.
I can display anything you can do on YouTube. You don't have to host the video either.
This is the Joomla Extension I think you are asking for... http://www.viperwebsites.com/joomla-extensions.html

Best wishes.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your question. I regret that AutoTube is specific to YouTube, and does not work with Vimeo.

All the best - Barnaby Dixon

Hi there Sean,

Thank you for getting in touch - really sorry I missed your earlier post. We switched servers and unfortunately that means I didn't get an email alerting me that you posted.

Which browser are you using? I just checked your page and couldn't see any obvious error messages.

The 'different origin' message is to do with something other than AutoTube. Your server might have a setting that doesn't allow access to content other than from the 'localhost'. But I agree with you that it looks like it might also be a JCE restriction here. What happens if you disable JCE and set the 'Text only' editor as your default editor?

Cheers - Barnaby Dixon

Hi there Manuel,

Thank you for letting me know.

I have revised AutoTube so it will correctly publish your new articles as soon as they are created. Please download the new version, and install it, and it should work correctly for you.

All the best, Barnaby Dixon

Please edit the menu item for this category, and set Introduction to 'Hide'

This will hide the top video and introduction.

You will need to set the correct video size, and then reimport the videos. To do this, first change the video size, then save the plugin. Then delete the previously imported videos from the article manager, and then also delete them from the article trash. Then the videos will reimport with the new video size.

All the best, Barnaby Dixon

Hi Nimi!

Please check that AutoTube is enabled, and the channel name is valid.

Then, please change the 'lastrun' variable to 0, and save the plugin.

This should pull in the latest videos from YouTube.

If this doesn't help, please email me the name of your channel, and I'll check to see what is happening.

Thanks! Barnaby Dixon

Hi there

This extension is used to actively display the latest YouTube videos from your channel on your website.

An example of how it works is http://www.globalchange.com/Recent-Futurist-YouTube-Videos-future-trends/

You will see that each video is recognised, and imported as a new article, and can then be used in Joomla. This means that yes, it is automatically included in search results.

I hope that helps. All the best - Barnaby Dixon

Thank you for your question

I'm sorry, but AutoTube can only publish to Joomla sections and articles.

All the best, Barnaby Dixon

I should have mentioned that I am running the latest updated version of 2.5

Hi there,

Thank you for your questions.

That's a very strange bug with the date. Leave it with me & I'll work out what's going on. In theory, AutoTube uses the local server date & time to set the published and created date & time - I will change it so that it uses the Joomla default timezone instead.

The error with your JCE editor is likely that the JCE doesn't allow 'iframe' tags by default. Please edit your JCE editor settings, so that iframe tags are permitted, and then it should work properly.

I'm afraid that AutoTube doesn't offer automatic full width videos - this is because although you can set the iFrame to width=100%, it can't automatically calculate the correct height, since the youtube video is loaded dynamically, so height and width always need to be fixed. If you know how wide your pages will be, however, you can just adjust the height and width accordingly.

All the best - Barnaby Dixon

Same thing for me with the publishing time. Articles show up immediately in the backend but are scheduled for publishing one hour later. An news on that issue?

Hi Jon

The price is a one-time payment.

All the best

Hi there Michaux

Thank you for your question. Please email me the channel you're working with and I'll see if I can spot any issues.

Thanks & all the best,
Barnaby Dixon

Is this one time cost to purchase the plugin or there will be recurring payments?

Hi there David

Thanks for your email.

I am guessing that your template CSS needs a rule like this added to your blog entry container:
div.blog_item {
display:block;
clear: both;
}

You'll need to adapt this for your specific template, but this is a guess at what the code should look like. Once the blog item container is told to clear, it'll ensure that the full blog item adds space as needed to fully contain the youtube iframe.

All the best, Barnaby Dixon

Hi there

No it doesn't - it simply creates articles automatically with embedded YouTube videos.

What you want would need to be a javascript add-on.

All the best,
Barnaby Dixon

Hi Peter

I have created a video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZPUS_KNzjk

All the best, Barnaby

Hi there Peter

The price reflects not just the time spent actually coding the extension, but also the time spent in education to become a PHP developer, the costs incurred in maintaining this website, the intrinsic value of the extension itself, and the cost of providing support.

When you compare the price ($50) to the average price of just one hour of a professional developer's time (upwards of $75 canadian) you might consider that it's actually quite cheap :-)

And yes I do offer a full guarantee, support, etc. Unfortunately I did have a demo site but I had to take it down since it got abused. Sorry about that.

Barnaby Dixon

I appreciate your comments though, and thank you for taking the time to make them. Let me think how I can best showcase the capabilities of AutoTube - maybe a video or something like that.

I'll see what I can think up!

Cheers - Barnaby

Hi there

I'm sorry, I had to disable the demo because it was abused by some people. Sorry about that.

I do offer a satisfaction guarantee, so please do try it out.

Thanks & all the best

Hi there

Yup - you use the YouTube account name. If you go to the user channel it will be like this: http://www.youtube.com/mychannel

All the best - Barnaby Dixon

Hi Stephan

To set your ordering, first create a menu item that relates to the category where your YouTube articles are saved.

Then set the ordering options in the menu item. If you do not want a menu item for the category, you can then unpublish it, and the ordering will still hold.

As discussed via email your videos were all successfully imported.

All the best

Hi Stephan,

Please also delete the videos from the article TRASH and then they will re-import from YouTube.

All the best - Barnaby Dixon

Hi Gavin,

Thanks for your question. I am guessing that you must have changed the plugin settings AFTER the video was imported?

Any plugin settings will only affect videos that have not yet been imported. You'll need to delete all video articles, and also delete them from the trash, then they'll be reimported with your new saved settings.

All the best - Barnaby Dixon

Hi,

The 'Text filters' is to do with editing articles created by AutoTube. You need to change the article edit settings.

AutoTube currently just works for a single YouTube account; we're not going to increase that since there are too many issues with server processing.

All the best - Barnaby Dixon

Hi there Nena,
Please visit http://demos.php-web-design.com/administrator/ to see AutoTube in action. The login is demo, and pass is demo, and you'll find AutoTube under Extensions > Plugins. You can then see any generated articles under the Article Manager as you'd expect, and if you set them to Featured, you'll then find them on the front page of the demo site.
All the best - Barnaby Dixon

Thank you Barnaby,
I should say i am impressed, wow i loose so much time :(
This is a great plugin. But i am lazy and a dreamer, lol
Would it be possible to have auto feature ?
I can't wait to try it, thank you

Hi Nena,
Yes AutoTube is fully automated. You just need to set up the details, and it will automatically run, depending on the schedule you have set.
All the best,
Barnaby Dixon

I dont' see anything on your demo.
http://demos.php-web-design.com/ ???
It's blank.

Craig,

Please go to http://demos.php-web-design.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_plugins&view=plugin&layout=edit&extension_id=10003 to see the plugin control.

Once you've entered your youtube details, you can then see the articles in your chosen category, in the Article Manager. Set them to 'Featured' if you want to see them on the PHP Web Design demos homepage.

All the best,
Barnaby Dixon

Hi Prakalp,

The video has to be publicly available on YouTube to be discovered by AutoTube. Unfortunately there is no way around this. You could, however, just list it publicly for just a few hours, allow AutoTube to find it, and then set it to non-public.

All the best

Hi Jose,
The plugin should continue to import all videos until your entire channel is imported. The only reason it wouldn't import a video is because it has already been imported once (and for example, you have deleted the article). If you remove any previously imported videos from the article trash, the plugin will attempt to re-import them. Other than that could you please email me your YouTube channel name and I'll check if there's any issues? Thanks,
Barnaby Dixon

Oh, My God... So there are them... joomla changes the state, but you have to delete them. So it's ok now. Wow, great! Thank you, Barnaby.

Barnaby, will you marry me? Now I have learnt, it goes perfect.

I'm already married, but thanks for the offer! I'm very glad it's all working smoothly for you now.

Hi there Eddie

Thanks for your email. I've never seen a case where the videos weren't imported but the descriptions etc. were. Did you check the AutoTube plugin settings - specifically the 'import video' setting? Other than that I can't think what the problem could be. If it persists, please email me separately with temporary admin access so I can work out what's going on.
Thanks!
Barnaby

Hi again Eddie,

Thank you again for your feedback. I'm afraid that there was a bug introduced in a recent upgrade, which was preventing the videos from importing correctly. I've corrected the problems, so AutoTube should now work correctly. I will email you separately with the upgrade details.

Just so you know, you will need to delete the articles that were previously imported, and then also delete the articles from the Article Trash. After that, the videos should re-import correctly. To trigger an immediate import, set the Last Run setting to 0 in the AutoTube plugin settings.

All the best,

Barnaby Dixon

Thanks. The bug has been fixed on importing the videos but I've also noticed, just as someone else, that I cannot import more than the first 25 videos from my channel. It seems to be loading only the first page of results from my youtube feed. I hope you can find a fix for this soon.

Hi Eddie,
With the latest upgrade (1.3.5) AutoTube now is capable of importing up to 10,000 videos from your video stream :-)
All the best,
Barnaby

Hi Sonny,
I'm sorry, there is no demo available, but I have a full money back guarantee if the extension doesn't work for you for any reason.
All the best,
Barnaby

Hi there,

To set an article to show on the frontend, you need to set it to 'featured'. Then just check it's published and it should show up. You might need to delete or refresh any cache you have within the Joomla admin so the new articles show up.

To edit the article once you've imported the video, set your super admin (you) to No Filtering under Global Configuration > Text filters. This will prevent the YouTube embed code from being stripped automatically when you edit the article.

All the best,
