Overview
The JTAG YouTube video component is a simple yet powerful component to let you easily add and display YouTube videos on your Joomla sites sorted in different categories. You can layout video like on CNBC or CNN or even on YouTube. You can create unlimited video channels or categories and add videos to these categories from YouTube Playlist, Subscriptions and from individual videos list. You can also add your own video playlist or playlist from other people from YouTube directly to your site. This means you have a full control of the videos on your site.
What is new in version 2.0 Pro?
We made many useful changes to the JTAG YouTube Video to make it better and simplify navigation. The interface has been cleaned up to allow you manage your videos more efficiently. As many as 32 bugs were fixed and many new features added. The following major changes were implemented:
• Video management has been greatly improved. All videos are now displayed as thumbnails at the backend providing you visual aid to managing your videos. You can now preview your videos at the backend before publishing them.
• You can now sort the order videos appeared on the frontend. Video can be sorted per menu item.
• Create a custom menu item link to a search term on YouTube. Just type in a search term and display all videos relating to that search term.
• You can now import videos from the video subscriptions of other users on YouTube. Import videos from your Favorite list
• The Playlist management has been greatly improved. Now you can select the video to import from a playlist instead of importing all. You can update a playlist from YouTube, so when you add more videos to a playlist your site is automatically updated.
• Automatically remove videos which are no longer available on YouTube.
• More freedom to display your video in many different layouts or views. This way you can have the videos arranged the way you like to have them on your front page.
Please note that most of the changes are ONLY available in the pro version.
