Huge update guys.....

what do you guys think

I created a new template...
only need video id now
you can select video type
the download just pops up now.... no longer need to click link


next version is me getting rid of all the unused code (there is a CRAP load)
then if anyone whats to help me..... i dont know how to code this part..
what iwant to do is when you click the button there would be two links that appear on the page.... Download now and View now....

and if they click view now a youtube video will appear a little below that....(all this does is make sure they are downloading the right one)

thank you and hope to hear from you guys

Maybe we could include this in the next version.

I can try to get the bugs worked out....

currently it doesnt look correct in IE6....

and havent really checked other browsers... but im sure it will work in all the newer ones....

and after i optimise it a bit more.... ill send it your way to prep it for the release....

(im going to try to figure out how to do this) there will be a link under every youtube video that says download.... and it will point to this page and it will fill in the id field with whats needed all you would have to do is click download....

havnt had much time to work that in yet tho

Hey,

First off great script! Second I would not really care about IE6.

There has been lot's of talk in the Web Design world whether to stop coding for IE6, but no one knows what to do. You can take a look at Browser Statistics at W3C: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp

Here is what I think...
Currently of May, 2009 14.5% still use IE6, but think about it. Most of those people are people either:
Little old Grandma who does not browse the web or look at "Youtube Videos"(I am looking at the majority) or company's(Like Restaurant chains, clothing stores, hardware stores, etc...) which have a computer but don't use Browers, they use computers for well work...

Save your self the headache, just add something like "This Script will not work in IE6" and give a link to download the new IE8 or Better FireFox

[Jeff]

ya.. i was thinking about that... and you just helped me choose :-D....

hey do you have any idea on doing what i talked about above

[FireDart]

I think I have an idea...

Instead of redirecting the the link to your site... directly under the video put your download script, then in the field were you put the url put this:

         {if $vidtype eq "YouTube"}
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/{if $video[video].file eq ""}{$videoid}{else}{$video[video].file}{/if}">http://www.youtube.com/v/{if $video[video].file eq ""}{$videoid}{else}{$video[video].file}{/if}[/url]

         {elseif $vidtype eq "GoogleVideo"}
<a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid={if $video[video].file eq ""}{$videoid}{else}{$video[video].file}{/if}">http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid={if $video[video].file eq ""}{$videoid}{else}{$video[video].file}{/if}[/url]


         {elseif $vidtype eq "dailymotion"}
<a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/{if $video[video].file eq ""}{$videoid}{else}{$video[video].file}{/if}">http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/{if $video[video].file eq ""}{$videoid}{else}{$video[video].file}{/if}[/url]
         {/if}

Thought this will only work for:
Youtube
Google Video
& DailyMotion

you can always add more just by doing:
         {elseif $vidtype eq "name from process_site.inc.php "}
<a href=" Site URL with video prefix {if $video[video].file eq ""}{$videoid}{else}{$video[video].file}{/if}">Site URL with video prefix {if $video[video].file eq ""}{$videoid}{else}{$video[video].file}{/if}[/url]
         {/if}

This will create the same effect but you will need to create a process_site.inc.php for each site you support and and find the site url with video prefix, the prefix can be:
http://www.youtube.com/v/
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/

or other...

[Jeff]

ok thank you....

still have some more optimization to do...

its currently in 3-4 files.... making it into 1
and there a lot of unused code right now.... from the 20 versions i had :-P(without deleting the old code) lol go me

ps. right now this can only download youtube videos..... so ya..... ill figure out more in later versions :-D
