Description/Features
Allows users to easily embed YouTube videos within Confluence
Installation
This is a user macro, which means you will need to add it manually to your User Macro's in the administration screen.
- Go to the System Administration screen
- Click on the 'User Macros' link in the left menu under 'Configuration'
- Select 'Create a User Macro'
- Name the macro 'youtube'
- Check the 'Macro has a body' box
- Paste the following into the text area and press 'Save':
<object width="425" height="350"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/$body"></param> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/$body" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350" readonly=true></embed> </object>
Usage
The macro needs the YouTube videocode in order to display the video. So, for example:
| YouTube video URL | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIsYDWD1lgA |
|---|---|
| Video code (last part of URL) | sIsYDWD1lgA |
| Tag to display video | {youtube}sIsYDWD1lgA{youtube} |

The above is a great example of how to use the usermacros to insert custom html into a page.
