Example #3: Longer Version: Specific Dimensions

New page

<noinclude>
This template allows you to embed a Youtube video in a page. To use it you simply provide the ID of a Youtube video, and optionally a height and width.

Although you can use this template anywhere (that is appropriate) in the wiki, the [[Videos]] page is one great place to start.

== Finding a Video's ID ==

Every Youtube video includes its ID in its URL. For instance, if you right click on the Green Trailer video and choose "Copy video URL", you'd get the URL:

<code><nowiki>https://youtu.be/CBttHicGbek</nowiki></code>

The ID is the part after "https://youtu.be/", in other words:

<code><nowiki>https://youtu.be/</nowiki></code>'''CBttHicGbek'''

Other Youtube URLs may put it elsewhere, but it always be present. For instance, if you visit the Youtube page for that video, it will take you to:

<code><nowiki>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=</nowiki></code>'''CBttHicGbek'''

== Examples ==
=== Example #1: Short Version ===

If you use this version you '''can not''' add a space before the ID (ie. after the "|").

<code><nowiki>{{youtube |CBttHicGbek}}</nowiki></code>
{{youtube|CBttHicGbek}}

=== Example #2: Longer Version ===
If you use this version you '''can not''' add a space before the ID (ie. after the "=").

<code><nowiki>{{youtube | id=CBttHicGbek }}</nowiki></code>
{{youtube | id=CBttHicGbek }}

=== Example #3: Longer Version: Specific Dimensions ===
By default this template will apply a width of 400 pixels and a height of 225 pixels to the video. This is a reasonable size to show it's thumbnail in the wiki, and the viewer can easily full-screen the video if they want.

However, sometimes, when a video is particularly significant to the page that it's on, you may wish to display it with a different height/width, and you can do so as shown below:

If you use this version you '''can not''' add a space before the ID (ie. after the "=").

<code><nowiki>{{youtube </nowiki></code>

<code><nowiki> | id=CBttHicGbek</nowiki></code>

<code><nowiki> | height=576</nowiki></code>

<code><nowiki> | width=1024</nowiki></code>

<code><nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
{{youtube
| id=CBttHicGbek
| height=576
| width=1024
}}

</noinclude><includeonly><div class="youtube-placeholder" data-height="{{{height|225}}}" data-width="{{{width|400}}}" data-url="{{{url|https://www.youtube.com/embed/{{{1|{{{id|}}}}}}}}}">Loading Video ...</div></includeonly>
