Disabling YOUTUBE/GOOGLE video uploader

[Sardor]

I was trying to find out if anyone out there could help me:

Is there away to disable the use of JUST the youtube/google add embed feature but keep the other two?

and if so...

Does that require requesting access to my source code again, or can this be disabled while still using the centralized coding?

Thanks!!!

Hi Sardor -- the easiest way to disable the YouTube/Google add embed feature is to probably just hide the links. Try the following CSS:

.xg_widget_video .xg_3col .block.left { display:none; }
#add_video_module .xg_1col .xg_module_body { display:none; }

On a similiar note, is there a way to remove the "Add Video" link from the Video page? All that I would like to do is remove this link through CSS instead of removing the text through the language editor. Your hack seems very straightforward.

Thanks!

Hi Fred! Try this CSS:

/* Removes Add Video link in video pages */
.xg_widget_video .bigdesc.add { display:none; }

And to answer your question AKA - you place the CSS in the Advanced Tab in the Appearances page, under the Manage section of your site.

Hi Ernie,

It works, but when you go to page where you could upload videos from your phone, on the right side you still could see Google/Youtube video uploader can I get rid of that?

[Ernie H.]

Hi AKA,

Unfortunately, because the way the HTML and CSS is constructed on the page, removing the Google/YouTube reference will also remove the "Upload a video from your computer" reference in the right column. That said, you can remove the column with the following CSS:

.xg_widget_video_video_addByPhone .xg_1col .xg_module { display:none; }

Thank You Ernie :)

How about taking this a step further....what would one have to do to only allow videos from google/youtube and not allow users to upload taking up space?

In other words, linked videos only, no locally hosted videos.

Hey Scott,

The easiest way to do this would be to add a JavaScript redirect to your Tracking Code box that redirects conditionally on pages that allow members to upload content. This is far from full-proof, though. If you want a full proof solution You'll need to do some PHP work with access to your source code.

Cheers!
