Youtube related videos plugin – for wordpress

This is a nifty little plugin, and will allow you to add related youtube videos to your blog. It pulls tags from the Simpletags plugin, and uses them to display 3 videos from youtube, related to those tags.

What the plugin does?

• Integrates with Simple Tags Plugin for WordPress (but you can change easily to get tags from other plugins/stuff)
• Takes the first Simple tag, and uses it to look for related videos on YouTube
• Displays the three most recent related videos on your WordPress blog post
• Updates videos automatically

Simple Installation

The plugin is easy to install, but it requires the Simple Tags Plugin to work (or similar). I strongly suggest you install this, and get it working correctly before you attempt to install the YouTube Related Videos plugin.

These are some simple installation instructions for the plugin:

• Download and install Simple Tags Plugin
• Download the plugin file, rename to php, and place it in your plugins directory, and activate it with WordPress Web Administrator
• Insert the following code into wp-comments.php, where you want the YouTube Videos to appear (generally just below the line containing “You can start editing here”:
  youtuberelated($id);
• Begin adding Simple tags to your posts, and watch the related videos appear

Notes

• I recommend you to take a look to the source code, maybe you have to change some dev_id of YouTube or videos shown variable. It’s very easy.
• You can even use it in this way: youtuberelated(0, "yourtag") so you can force it to use that tag.
