Embedded YouTube Database, possible? Using what?

Riccardo83 - March 9, 2008 - 07:33

I want to make a database linking all youtube files, like a specific database for a Singer where I collected all Youtube videos.

What is the best solution script to use in Drupal.

Not a DB, Nodes

Create a Node for each video. At it's most simple, Story with the HTML filter edited to allow embedding. There are other CCK options.

Taxonomy - tag them.

VIEWS - allows people to see the videos that meet their criteria.

Pages - create your own for specific sets of content.

My front page used a mixture of the above, plus Panels.

links.module and weblinks

links.module and weblinks (within that package) is designed for bookmark databases and such things.

FLV Media Player

If you want to embed youtube videos you might want to look at the FLV Media Player project

http://drupal.org/project/flvmediaplayer

I don't know too much about it but I know it exists and there are some good people associated with the project.

For more information about integrating youtube content with drupal, google drutube

Of course I believe that you will still need to make nodes for each video, use taxonomy, probably CCK and views as well.
