You Tube Link

Check this page:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds

Maybe wrap it in shortcode to display? For example does this work, or something like it?
[embed]< ?php echo get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘you_tube_link’, true ); ?>[/embed]

Tried that and it prints out the following:

[embed]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3tQLBLPSBI[/embed]

and on those that don’t have a YouTube link it prints out:

[embed][/embed]

I checked out that WordPress Page plus about every other page about embedding a YouTube video in the single.php

It works if it is included in the Post Body but not as a field unto itself.

Then I’m unclear too — maybe try to make sure it’s wrapped in the Loop? I’d like to know how you finally find a solution~

Simple solution!
Install this plugin http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-youtube-lyte/

Create a custom field called youtubeid and on the input side only put the video id.
EG: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRyPjRrjS34 – only the bolded part.

Then write a function to display the output, add this in your page template.

<?php
$tubeid =  get_field('youtubeid'); // The parameter name 
$newTubeid = $tubeid;// appending the values
?>

Place this in your template where you want the video to show.

<?php do_shortcode('[lyte id="'.$newTubeid.'" /]'); ?>

Because you are using wp userfrontend pro your function should be this.

<?php
$tubeid =  get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘youtubeid’, true ); // The parameter name 
$newTubeid = $tubeid;// appending the values
?>

If you are going to make this function work for multiple youtube videos then put the function in your loop below <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> then the this outside the loop <?php do_shortcode('[lyte id="'.$newTubeid.'" /]'); ?>

The each time you input a video id for individual posts it will show the id specific video on the post 🙂

For some reason – this did not work for me in my single.php – I did put it inside the loop.

If I include a YouTube link inside the “content” it works fine. I tried creating a textarea (with RichText turned off) and using that for the link, but it did not work – it just displayed the link url.

Try this:

[php]
<?php echo wp_oembed_get( get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘you_tube_link’, true) ); ?>
[/php]

Works perfectly – thanks again!

Yes, seems to work well with oembed 🙂

sorry, I need to get this thing work,

this is what I append to my function.php

function wpuf_youtubeid( $post_id ) {
$tubeid =  get_post_meta( $post->ID, ‘youtubeid’, true ); // The parameter name 
$newTubeid = $tubeid;// appending the values
}

and this in my single.php
<?php echo wp_oembed_get( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'you_tube_link', true) ); ?>

In the form I add a custom TEXT FIELD for the youtube id

Is it all right?
It doesn’t work for me.

@onafets –

when you put <?php echo wp_oembed_get( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'you_tube_link', true) ); ?>

make sure your yourtube custom field meta key is – you_tube_link

does it makes sense ?

Sorry, I don’t think to follow, do you mean this:

I have this doubt, shall I create a new custom post type or is the plugin wp youtube lyte that makes all of it

You don’t need to create any function. Just make sure you have a full youtube video URL in that custom field and it should work.
