Anyone know how to make a Youtube shortcode autoplay?

Thanks!

Care to post full code of your kfunctions with shortcode? I'll try to figure out how to add 'autoplay=1' there.

Thanks Trendoman,
I'm just using the provided shortcode and I'm not sure it even supports autoplay.

Code: Select all

 // 4.
   // YouTube Shortcode
   // Usage:   [youtube video="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PsnxDQvQpw"]
   //          [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aBSPn2P9bg]
   //          [youtube 1aBSPn2P9bg]
   $FUNCS->register_shortcode( 'youtube', 'youtube_handler' );
   function youtube_handler( $params, $content=null ){
      global $FUNCS;
      
      extract( $FUNCS->get_named_vars(array( 
         'video' => 'http://',
         'width' => '475',
         'height' => '350',
      ), $params) );

      // Video parameter is link or ID?
      if ( (substr($video, 0, 7) == 'http://') || (substr($video, 0, 8) == 'https://') ){
         /*
         Example links that can be handled:
         http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PsnxDQvQpw
         http://youtube.com/watch?v=5PsnxDQvQpw
         http://youtube.com/watch?gl=US&hl=en-US&v=5PsnxDQvQpw
         http://youtube.com/v/5PsnxDQvQpw&rel=1
         */
         if( !preg_match('#https?://(?:[^\.]+\.)?youtube.com.*(?:\?v=|&v=|/v/)([\w_-]+)#i', $video, $matches) ) return;
         $video = $matches[1];
      }

      // Sanitize parameters
      $video = htmlspecialchars( $video, ENT_QUOTES );
      $width = (int)$width;
      $height = (int)$height;
      
      // Output HTML
      $html =<<<EOS
      <iframe class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="$width" height="$height" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/$video" frameborder="0"></iframe>
EOS;
      return $html;
   }

Thanks, Graham, I'll experiment and post the working solution. Shouldn't take long.

Could you give this a try Graham?

Code: Select all

   // 4.
   // YouTube Shortcode
   // Usage:   [youtube video="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PsnxDQvQpw"]
   //          [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aBSPn2P9bg]
   //          [youtube 1aBSPn2P9bg]
   $FUNCS->register_shortcode( 'youtube', 'youtube_handler' );
   function youtube_handler( $params, $content=null ){
      global $FUNCS;

      extract( $FUNCS->get_named_vars(array(
         'video' => 'http://',
         'width' => '475',
         'height' => '350',
         'autoplay' => '0',
      ), $params) );

      // Video parameter is link or ID?
      if ( (substr($video, 0, 7) == 'http://') || (substr($video, 0, 8) == 'https://') ){
         /*
         Example links that can be handled:

         http://youtube.com/v/5PsnxDQvQpw&rel=1
         */
         if( !preg_match('#https?://(?:[^\.]+\.)?youtube.com.*(?:\?v=|&v=|/v/)([\w_-]+)#i', $video, $matches) ) return;
         $video = $matches[1];
      }

      // Sanitize parameters
      $video = htmlspecialchars( $video, ENT_QUOTES );
      $width = (int)$width;
      $height = (int)$height;
      
      if ( $autoplay == '1' ){
         $video .= '?autoplay=1';
      }

      // Output HTML
      $html =<<<EOS
      <iframe class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="$width" height="$height" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/$video" frameborder="0"></iframe>
EOS;
      return $html;
   }

Sorry,
Missed this. I will give it a try and get back to you.
