If a picture can paint a thousand words, imagine what impact you can make with multiple videos.
Aytube, the Ajax--based extension for Joomla that allows you to embed multiple YouTube videos on your web site, has been released.
If you have videos on YouTube you’ve always wanted to showcase, here’s your chance. Without cluttering your site with videos, AyTube can display one video at a time, and allows visitors to scroll through them.
AyTube lets you embed multiple YouTube videos on your site while saving precious screen space.
Features:
Displays YouTube videos uploaded by a particular user. (Perhaps yours!)
Displays the favorite YouTube videos by a particular user.
Displays multiple videos without cluttering your site.
Visitors can choose which video to watch by clicking the “Next” and “Prev” links. Or they can choose a from a list of videos by clicking "Select Video".
Ajax-based. This means that site visitors can scroll through and play the videos without the need to wait for your entire page to reload. This saves bandwidth and time, and keeps the visitors at your page.
Displays videos both in a small and larger window.
Easy to install and set up.
Video-streaming is done using your visitors’ bandwidth, not yours.
Admin can configure up to 50 videos per YouTube user name and another 50 per favorites list to be shown.
Supports auto playing of videos on load (configurable by Admin).
Supports auto looping of each video (configurable by Admin).
You can see how AyTube reduces page clutter while at the same time allowing multiple videos.
Try also for yourself how AyTube lets site visitors view an enlarged version of each video while not requiring the visitors to leave your site to view it.
AyTube is easy to configure. This is what it looks like on the Backend:
The frontend consists of a module that is published on the pages that you want it to appear.
Try the “Prev”, “Next”, "Select Video" and “Enlarge” links on the demo on the right.
Requirements
Joomla (tested on 1.0.13 and 1.5.12 and above)
PHP with libcurl built-in (pretty standard)
MySQL.
AyTube is available at €25 for a single site licence and includes email support and unlimited future updates to the software. So if future versions of AyTube contain new features, you will not miss out.
