Adding Youtube with shortcode
USAGE
A new plugin has been added which easily embeds a youtube video using the youtube url of the video (e.g., http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA).
Simply navigate to the youtube video you wish to embed, copy the URL and paste it into your post or page.
Example
Example Code
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qXnw84ERGU&width=500&height=350
Note: The above code must be on a line by itself in the text editor or it will not work. Should a situation arise in which this code cannot be on a line by itself, the code must be inserted using the embed code. See below:
Example (take note that the width and height attributes have to go in the embed tag using this method):
[button href="http://gsu.edu"]This is my button[/button][embed width="500" height="350"] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qXnw84ERGU [/embed]
Options
The plug-in has several useful options (attributes) that can be used by adding them to the end of the URL with the '&' symbol, see the examples below:
&width and &height
Control the size of the embedded video on the page by adding these attributes. If omitted, the default width will be the width of your theme's content and the height will be calculated for you automatically.
Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qXnw84ERGU&width=500&height=350
&autoplay
To have the video automatically play when the page loads, set this attribute to '1' .
Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qXnw84ERGU&width=500&height=350&autoplay=1
&cc_load_policy
Close captioning is available on many videos. To turn closed captioning on, set this attribute to '1'.
Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qXnw84ERGU&width=500&height=350&autoplay=1&cc_load_policy=1
&loop
The video can play repeatedly by setting this attribute to '1'.
Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&loop=1
&modestbranding
To remove the YouTube logo from the player during play, set this attribute to '1'.
Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qXnw84ERGU&width=500&height=350&modestbranding=1
&rel
To avoid youtube displaying related videos after the the video ends, you can set this attribute to '0'.
Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qXnw84ERGU&width=500&height=350&modestbranding=1&rel=0
&start and &end
Set the start and end times (in seconds) of the video with these attributes. They can be used separately or together.
Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&width=500&height=350&start=20
Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quwebVjAEJA&width=500&height=350&start=20&end=100
Make your videos responsive
To make your videos respond to user resizing of windows or using mobile platforms, activate the Fluid Video Embeds plugin and wrap your videos in [fve][/fve] tags, e.g.
[fve]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qXnw84ERGU0[/fve]
