TubePress: WordPress Plugin for YouTube

Plugin Rewrite due to Hosting Issues
Posted by Mario Mansour in TubePress

I have been receiving lately a common error report, the famous T_function parsing on line 15 in class.youtube.php. TubePress was written for PHP 5, assuming that most hosting companies should provide at least PHP 5 to its customers.
Well I was wrong about that. Unfortunately, a large number of hosting companies, most of them goes under the “Free Hosting” group are still providing old PHP versions on their servers.

Due to this reason and the latest changes in WordPress database structure, I have decided to release an update for my Wordpress plugin. The update will include a complete rewrite of the plugin, to support new versions of Wordpress, maintain backward compatibility and the code will be optimized for old PHP versions.

I would like to thank you all for testing the plugin, and reporting bugs.

    I have installed your mod Tubepress 2.6 and imported a video from its id but how do i get that video onto my blog now?

    Nutronic

    Once you import a video from youtube, this should be saved as a normal post. You can check the manage -> posts section in your WP admin to see if the video was successfully imported. Note that the plugin requires PHP 5 and does not yet support WP higher than 2.2.2

    Let me know if there is something else I can help you with

    Excellent plugin which I use on two of my sites. However, it does come up with an error, although the plugin and results still work:

    Warning: date() expects parameter 2 to be long, object given in /xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/tubepress/youtube.php on line 247

    Warning: gmdate() expects parameter 2 to be long, object given in /xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/tubepress/youtube.php on line 247

    (xxxx inserted to mask the url I am using it on).

    This error occurs on both sites (different hosting on both), latest wordpress installation. Feedback would be appreciated. I can provide further details if you are interested?
