YouTube Field for SilverStripe

Introduction

This SilverStripe module provides a YouTube field for use in the CMS/ModelAdmin. It accepts input of various common YouTube URL formats and converts them for storage in database as the 11-character YouTube ID., _(*2)

Once a valid ID is saved the field will display the video's thumbnail and title., _(*3)

Optionally you can provide a key for the YouTube v3 API, which is used to display additional information (duration and view count) and provides information immediately (rather than after saving)., _(*4)
