Revision as of 08:56, 11 February 2008

We have istalled a YouTube video embedding module on the wikichristian server so that we will be able to add relevant videos to the articles at Wikichristian. This is how this works.

  • For any given article, if you would like to embed a video, go to YouTube.com and search for the appropriate video. Make sure the whole content is inline with the main article. Then, on the right side of the youtube video page, you will see the URL for embedding the video, copy it to you clipboard.
  • Come back to the page you want that video to appear on wikichristian
  • Create a template like {{name of the article videos}} or post the following code directly on the page. You may use a template to help make it easy to add more videos.
  • Paste the following code and change the url to that of the YouTube Video you want to use.

See an example below

C.S. Lewis: from theism to Christianity
EmbedVideo received the bad id "movie_url=http://www.youtube.com/v/ZS3thuSHUYg&rel=1

embed_source_url=http://www.youtube.com/v/ZS3thuSHUYg&rel=1 wrap=yes width=425

height=355" for the service "youtube".

related videos

So, if you want to change the above code to a different video, all you need to change would be -

The title C.S. Lewis... and the URL's.

We can add features like, video of the day, on the main page and add gospel song videos and other videos to the content pages on WikiChristian. YouTube has a huge collection of Worship, Sermon and other Christian Videos and our goal is to combine the power of wikiChristian's content with Videos.
