YouTube Feed Plugin

While developing a site for a client of mine recently, I came across the need to display a YouTube video feed on his site and realized that this ability could be useful to others as well. The plugin is very simple and uses a shortcode to display the feed. Simple and straight forward, just like I like it!

1. To add a YouTube feed to your posts, pages, or widgets use the following code:

[[plumwd_youtube_display]]

2. To add the YouTube Feed plugin to your WordPress theme use the following code inside your template: echo do_shortcode('[[plumwd_youtube_display]]');

The plugin also supports several attributes for the shortcode, below is a listing of the attributes and what their purpose is:

1. channel -> this must be set or the feed will not display Usage:

[[plumwd_youtube_display channel="plumwd"]]

2. videonum -> The number of videos to display. Will return the most recent videos uploaded to the feed. Usage:

[[plumwd_youtube_display channel="plumwd" videonum="4"]]

3. display -> accepts two different options: horizontal or vertical. Usage:

[[plumwd_youtube_display channel="plumwd" display="horizonal"]]

4. size -> Choose from four different size options xsmall, small, medium, large. Usage:

[[plumwd_youtube_display channel="plumwd" size="small"]]
