hey mario,

i cant pm you so im just letting you know i sent 5e to your paypal account

can you please add 5 to my account so i can purchase youtube related videos plugin asap thanks

[Marius P.]

Hei! I've canceled your payment as that plugin was not updated since 3.0, maybe I will rebuild it for 3.3 but not sure when.
Even the title sais this:

Code Select Expand

Youtube style related videos [Not working on 3.1 +]

[leen12]

oh =/

thats not good

my website's sidebar shows the last uploaded videos all over, thats rather disapointing,

i think you should try to add this feature asap , or make the plugin asap its a much needed feature, no point in having loads of videos in the sidebar if they are not that much related

[Marius P.]

It gets them by category. You can change the query yourself, you don't need this plugin to do it if you know a bit of php.

[leen12]

yea ino but thats my big problem lol

i dont know any coding at all,

i just want it to kind of select similar videos like youtube,

[Madalin Adrian]

I have the code for that somewhere... Just let me look for it.

[leen12]

awesome =) thanks very much

i might also need help on where to put it but i will see after lol

[Madalin Adrian]

Well... can't find it but it was based on this code http://stackoverflow.com/a/3593438/634772

A little bit of hacking to the original code and that should do the trick

PS: the path to the file is tpl/main/layouts/related.php

[leen12]

oh, well thanks for trying anyway,

i took a look at that code and it looks like german to me lol, i have no idea what it means and dont think i would be able to modify the code correctly,

can anyone else give it a try?

[Marius P.]

On that logic explained there, you need fulltext which is slow, and matching "Rihanna singing on the beach in Barbados" against anything else will return 0 matches.

[Marius P.]

Looping tags and using the search algorithm in the com_search.php could be a much better choice.

[leen12]

could you not make it to match the first 3 words or 4 words or something like that or keywords or something,

then select random videos out of the related results and display them in the sidebar?

i dont know if that is even possible but i know you can do a lot with coding lol..

[Marius P.]

You could make it, but right now, it's on the bottom of a huge list of things to do. Sorry! That day will come

[leen12]

is this plugin currenlt updated as well no?

i cant wait to get it.. lol

[Marius P.]

You do realise this plugin was a 5 lines of code change tops? No design was altered, just the video selection was different. However, it always will increase load, and it won't be 1 cache file.

[leen12]

i understand that but i have no idea how to code even the simplest things,
i dont mind if it increases load or anything like that,

aslong as the website is orgainized a bit more,

[Marius P.]

As you please, I'm working on it now.

[leen12]

awesome thanks very much mario

[Marius P.]

Now I've realised why this is so hard to do... in the old version it worked because you did not have an joined users table, gonna try again tomorrow, for now no result.

[leen12]

ok thanks mario

[leen12]

still no update on this then?

[Marius P.]

Didn't had any time, working on 3.4 upgrade.

[leen12]

hmm =/ ok..

any eta on when it will be done?

thanks

[LookStock]

Youtube related videos will be released on 3.4 version ?

[Marius P.]

Not sure, let us finish 3.4 first.
