How Tos / Remove the Youtube logo in the...

Last post by Marius P. - 28 December

The YouTube logo on the player

One of the most commonly searched queries by our users/webmasters interested in video sharing is "How to remove/get rid of the YouTube logo on YouTube embedded videos." However, achieving this task is challenging, often temporary, and comes with high risks. Not only do you risk limitations imposed by YouTube or being banned from the API, but you may also draw the ire of Google, potentially resulting in removal from its listings.

The typical approach involves creating a proxy file that captures and decodes the link to the YouTube video. However, this method requires constant updates and code changes whenever YouTube modifies its platform. This can be frustrating, and it's advisable to reconsider pursuing this idea.

YouTube advertising on the player

Whenever you embed a YouTube video using their iframe or a supported player, YouTube advertising will still appear on your website. While it may be annoying, content creators are positioned to earn substantial revenue through the Google network.

In such cases, the best choice is to accept and adapt to it.

PHPVibe exclusively employs safe players compliant with YouTube's policies to the fullest extent. Both video ads and the YouTube logo will persist and will not be removed from our CMS.

If you observe our clients attempting to remove these elements, kindly refrain from seeking assistance from us.
The CMS is open source, allowing each owner to customize it according to their needs.

How Tos / do_action

Last post by Marius P. - 28 December

The PHPVibe do_action() hook is inspired by the hook with the same name used by WordPress.

It allows you to place actions that run on typical requests just as on WordPress.

Common actions in PHPVibe are:

Code Select

//Common actions
function the_header(){
do_action('vibe_header');
}
function the_footer() {
do_action('vibe_footer');
}
function the_sidebar() {
if(is_admin() || (get_option('site-offline', 0) == 0 )) {
do_action('vibe_sidebar');
}
}
function right_sidebar() {
do_action('right_sidebar');
}

All are located in the file lib/functions.php

You can hook a function to an action hook using add_action().

Usage:

Code Select

do_action( $tag, $arg );

Parameters
$tag
(string) (required) The name of the hook you wish to execute.
Default: None
$arg
(mixed) (optional) The list of arguments to send to this hook.
Default: Empty string

How Tos / Filters and Hooks in PHPVibe

Last post by Marius P. - 28 December

add_filter() and apply_filter()

PHPVibe's add__filter() hooks a function to a specific filter action.

Usage:

Code Select

add_filter( $tag, $function_to_add );

Example:

If you wish to dynamically inject a new title to the PHPVibe page:

Code Select

function seotitle( $text ) {
return "My static title";
/* clearly you can build some php and use some globals here, not just use text ;) */}
add_filter( 'phpvibe_title', 'seotitle' );

PHPVibe's apply_filter()
Calls the functions added to a filter hook.
The callback functions attached to the filter hook $tag are invoked by calling this function. This function can be used to create a new filter hook by simply calling this function with the name of the new hook specified using the $tag parameter.

Usage:

Code Select

apply_filters( $tag, $value, $var ... );

Example:

Code Select

//SEO
function seo_title() {
return apply_filters( 'phpvibe_title', get_option('seo_title'));
}
function seo_desc() {
return apply_filters( 'phpvibe_desc', get_option('seo_desc'));
}

Useful hooks in PHPVibe
These two hooks may also help a lot (after the SEO hooks explained upper):

Code Select

function extra_js() {
return apply_filter( 'filter_extrajs', false );
}
function extra_css() {
return apply_filter( 'filter_extracss', false );
}

They inject custom css and js in your template file. You can attach an add_filter() to them easily.

Code Select

function more_css( $text ) {
$mycss = '';
return $text.$mycss;
}
add_filter( 'filter_extracss', 'more_css' );

Coding/Extending / How to write a plugin

Last post by Marius P. - 28 December

The PHPVibe plugin system is fairly simple to use and code for.
It relies on the hooks and filters present in PHPVibe (very similar to WordPress's system).

The plugin needs to have its own folder name and contain the file plugin.php, it needs to be activated through the 'Plugins' menu in the administration area.

A simple plugin example adding a message at the start of your homepage.

Create /plugins/hello/plugin.php

Top of the file (plugin details, commented):

Code Select

<?php
/**
 * Plugin Name: Demo source
 * Plugin URI: http://phpvibe.com/
 * Description: Adds something new to PHPVibe
 * Version: 1.0
 * Author: PHPVibe Fan 
 * Author URI: http://www.phpvibe.com
 * License: GPL
 */

Create the function returning the message.
In the simplest form ever you can use the language system to modify and translate the message.

Code Select

function HelloWorld(){
echo _lang("Welcome to my great website");
}

Now we hook the function to the 'home-start' action present on top of home.php

Code Select

add_action('home-start', 'HelloWorld');

Sure, you can use very complex logic and code here and on all the other actions, this is just a very simple example.

Coding/Extending / Check or target routes/views

Last post by Marius P. - 28 December

PHPVibe comes with a few simple but efficient conditional functions for components restrictions (all located in lib/functions.php):

is_home() – Returns true if the current page is the homepage
is_video() – Returns true for single video & music pages
is_picture() – Returns true for single image
is_channel() – Returns true for single channel

For all the rest you could use the function is_com($com)
Example:

Code Select

if(is_com('login')) {
/* You are on the login page */}

To see the components you could check the router declarations in index.php

Code Select

$router->map('/api/:section', 'api', array('methods' => 'GET', 'filters' => array('section' => '(.*)')));

The structure is RewritenUrl format, Component, arrays of methods.

You could also just

Code Select

echo com();

to print the current component.

How to write a web source/new embed for PHPVibe

The PHPVibe cms uses a tone of web sources, through web sources people can easily generate a video autoembed by submitting just the link.

We will be using the logic of the plugin system to achieve a new source without touching the code from lib/class.providers.php

First, let's add our new source to the supported array of websites.

Code Select

function newSourceName($hosts = array()){
$hosts[] = 'newsource.com';
return $hosts;
}

Now let's provide the embed logic for this new example source:

For v5, v6 versions of PHPVibe

Code Select

function EmbednewSourceName($txt =''){
global $vid;
if(isset($vid)) {
if($vid->VideoProvider($vid->theLink()) == 'newsource.com' ) {
$link = $vid->theLink();
if(!nullval($link)) {
$id = $vid->getVideoId("video/", '/'); //* Id extraction logic. Let's say the url has the id after /video , example old.phpvibe.com/video/1367/ *//
if(!nullval($id)) {
$tembed = ' < iframe(? object, etc) width="' . get_option('video-width') . '" height="' . get_option('video-heigth') . '" src="http://newsource.com/player?vid='.$id.'" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen scrolling="no"> ';
$txt .= $tembed;
}
/* End link check */
}
/* End provider check */
}
/* End isset(vid) */
}
/* End function */
return $txt;
}

For PHPVibe v11+

Code Select

function EmbednewSourceName($txt =''){
    global $VibeProvider, $VibeLink;
    if (isset($VibeProvider) && isset($VibeLink)) {
        if($VibeProvider == 'yournewsourceDeclaredName' ) {
//make sure you restrict the changes to this source
          
            if(not_empty($VibeLink)) {
                $id =  $VibeLink.' something to prepare it'; //* Id extraction logic. Let's say the url has the id after /video , example old.phpvibe.com/video/1367/ *//
                if(not_empty($id)) {
                    $tembed = ' < iframe(? object, etc) width="' . get_option('video-width') . '" height="' . get_option('video-heigth') . '" src="http://newsource.com/player?vid='.$id.'" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen scrolling="no"> ';
                    $txt .= $tembed;
                }
                /* End link check */
            }
            /* End provider check */
        }
        /* End isset(vid) */
    }
    /* End function */
    return $txt;
}

So now we have the function that gets the link to the external video source and turns it into an iframe embed.
Let's hook it to the PHPVibe embeds through the filter EmbedModify.

Code Select

add_filter('EmbedModify', 'EmbednewSourceName');

Now we have a new source of embeds for our visitors.

If you can scrape, or the source returns details (thumbnails, duration, title, description, tags), you can hook this also:
for PHPVibe 5-6

Code Select

function DetailsnewSourceName($txt = ''){
global $vid,$websLink;
if(!isset($vid) && isset($websLink)) {
$vid = new Vibe_Providers($websLink);
}
if(isset($vid)) {
$link = $vid->theLink();
if(!nullval($link)) {

//* Logic to extract info from the link goes here and it's added to $txt *//

}
/* End isset(vid) */
}
/* End function */
return $txt;
}

for PHPVibe 11+

Code Select

function DetailsnewSourceName($zvideo = array())
{
    global $VibeProvider, $VibeLink;
    //expected output
    $xvideo = array();
    $xvideo['description'] = '';
    $xvideo['title'] = '';
    $xvideo['thumbnail'] = '';
    $xvideo['duration'] = '';
    $xvideo['tags'] = '';
    if ($VibeProvider == 'yournewsourceDeclaredName') {
//make sure you restrict the changes to this source

//* Logic to extract info from the link goes here and it's added to $txt *//
        $xvideo .= 'do something to extract details';
    }
    /* End function */
    return array_merge($zvideo, $xvideo);
}

The function gets hooked to the filter EmbedDetails

Code Select

add_filter('EmbedDetails', 'DetailsnewSourceName');

Now you will be returning video details on the second submission page.

How Tos / In video ads (VAST/VPAID)

Last post by Marius P. - 28 December

Videos boot conversions and sales, also show geat ROI and build trust.
With video marketing, you can easily explain everything and engage even the laziest of buyers!
The true "in video" ads used also by YouTube are the VAST/VPAID ads.
To understand what they are please read this.

PHPVibe comes by default with VideoJs's VAST/VPAID plugin (IMA SDK Plugin for Video.js) pre-installed for the player. Adding an ad is as simple as copy/pasting the link to the ad tag in the admin panel.

See some example tags at Google.

Code Select

SKIP TO VIDEO can be set from the tag.

How Tos / Use a VAST file to deliver in-...

Last post by Marius P. - 28 December

Delivering a custom video ad to PHPVibe is simple.
You can simply build your VAST file and save it somewhere, then link to it in Settings-> Players

All the rest are set in the video file:
Impression – Where the player should send the impressions (custom tracking link?)
kipoffset="00:00:05″ – The skip value for the ad. If the ad is longer than this time the "Skip Ad" button will show up.
ClickThrough is the url you send the user once he clicks on the ads.
Video files for ads are set in the "MediaFile" tag of the vast xml.

Here is a full sample https://pastebin.com/Meh67CXr

Code Select

<VAST version="2.0">
  <Ad id="static">
    <InLine>
      <AdSystem>Vibe</AdSystem>
