Show related videos when playback ends

Permalink
I've added some YouTube videos to a customer site, but they don't want related videos to show at the end (many are competitors.) I see in the settings for the YouTube block this checkbox: "Show related videos when playback ends" Checking it appends rel=1 to the URL of the video, but with it unchecked, the rel=1 disappears instead of changing to rel=0. Without that rel=0 in the URL the related videos still show up. Is there a way to get that to show up in the URL?

Hello,

All those settings are set in the view of the block so you can create a template for the youtube block by copying the file view.php and modifying it.

1- go to applications/blocks
2- create a folder named "youtube"
3- inside it create a folder called "templates"
4- inside it create a folder called something, all lowercase and underscore instead of spaces. For instance, you can name it "no_related_videos"
5- inside it put a copy of the files view.php and view.css that you can find in the original youtube block's folder in concrete/blocks/youtube
6- Modify the file view.php as follow:

Line 52 you will see
if (isset($rel) && $rel) {
    $params[] = 'rel=1';
}

Modify it to be
if (isset($rel) && $rel) {
    $params[] = 'rel=1';
} else {
    $params[] = 'rel=0';
}


Now you apply your template to your block and you're good to go

This worked like a charm. The only difference was, the original Line 52 was this:
$params[] = 'rel=' . (isset($rel) && $rel ? '1' : '0');


I don't know PHP at all, but this looks like it was trying to take into account the need for rel=0

I have to say I am very surprised. The line I copied is from Concrete5 5.8. The one you are showing me is from Concrete5 5.7.

What surprises me a great deal is the line you are showing should have worked, you shouldn't have had an issue in the first place.

The only reason I can think of is your Concrete5 was updated to v8 and the code ACTUALLY being used would then be in updates/concrete/blocks/youtube:view.php and would resemble the one I showed you at first.

If you don't have that file in the updates folder, I really have no logical explanation as to why you had that problem.
