Things are happening thick and fast right now
I'm planning to release a video extension that allows you to use it in the news as well - I promise!
On the German board, somebody's just released a Youtube-API connector extension which is also based on yw_youtube. So right now I'm trying to figure out, how this person is going to use yw_youtube and what future actions are being planned.
Well, my idea is to release a completely new extension (independent from yw_youtube) that handles as much videotypes as you want (youtube, vimeo etc. - easily extendable for every TL dev) and providing videos in the news and events module, as a content element as well as using InsertTags.
But this would require to re-think the whole process of how the videos are going to be added to the system. I think I would actually like to have the extension the typical TL way, meaning that you have a video archive as the parent element and lots of videos as child elements. The only thing you then have to do is select the desired video in a dropdown or, in the case of the InsertTag, the video id.
I haven't had any feedback on this idea yet on the German board so maybe you want to start a discussion here?
I would really appreciate ideas and inputs because as this extension has in the meantime advanced to one that is used in a lot of projects I feel like I'm not developing it for myself anymore, although I'm doing it for free
What do you guys think?
