TubePress Documentation
- Quality PLR Download
1. Introduction

TubePress is a PHP library that displays beautiful YouTube video galleries in your web site. It's highly configurable and easy to use. Check out a demo gallery here.

There are two different TubePress packages available:

1. A WordPress plugin (free!)
2. TubePress Pro - A stand-alone library for use anywhere that supports PHP (only $10)

Both packages are released under the GPLv3. TubePress was created, is developed and maintained by Eric D. Hough

2. Download 2.1 Latest stable release The latest packages of TubePress can always be downloaded as zip files from https://www.tradebit.com 2.2 Subversion Interested in using the very latest version of TubePress? You can use any Subversion client to check out the latest developmental build of the WordPress plugin. 2.2.1 From the command line If you have command line access to your server, and have an svn client in your path, this method is the easiest.

1. Change directories to wp-content/plugins
2. Make sure you've removed any existing installs of TubePress from this directory
3. Execute svn checkout https://www.tradebit.com tubepress

That's it! You'll now be using the very latest build of the plugin. You can now upgrade at any time like this:

1. Change directories to wp-content/plugins/tubepress
2. Execute svn update

2.2.2 Using FTP You'll need to check out the latest build locally (i.e. to your desktop machine) and then upload it to your server using FTP.

1. Use any SVN client to browse to https://www.tradebit.com
2. Checkout the trunk directory to a local directory called tubepress
3. Upload the tubepress directory you just created to your WordPress installation at wp-content/plugins

2.3 Nightly Builds You can download a nightly build of the WordPress plugin package from https://www.tradebit.com 3. WordPress Plugin As a WordPress plugin, TubePress lets you easily insert custom video galleries throughout your WordPress-powered blog. 3.1 Quick Start

TubePress can be installed and activated just like any other WordPress plugin. See the WordPress docs on plugin management for more information.

1. Download the plugin from https://www.tradebit.com
2. Unzip into your plugins directory (wp-content/plugins)
3. Activate TubePress from Site Admin > Plugins
4. Configure from Site Admin > Settings > TubePress
5. Type [tubepress] in a post or a page where you'd like to insert your gallery (this is actually the simplest form of a TubePress shortcode). See the image below for an example.

This will result in something like the following

3.2 Multiple galleries

The options in Settings > TubePress are the global options for TubePress. The real power of the plugin lies in the ability to put multiple galleries on multiple pages. You can do this by using TubePress shortcodes on your posts/pages.

For example, say on one page I want to display a gallery of videos that are tagged with "football". On this page, I would type

[tubepress mode='tag', tagValue='football']

on the page where I want the gallery to show up. And say on another page I want to display a gallery with the default (global) options that were set in Settings > TubePress. On this page I would type

[tubepress]

where I wanted the gallery to show up. You can follow this procedure for unlimited galleries on unlimited posts/pages. Just use any TubePress shortcode to control the gallery content. Get creative!

3.3 Upgrading

Upgrading is usually just a matter of copying the latest version of TubePress over your existing installation. However, if you want to be sure there are no problems, follow these directions in order.

1. Remove your existing TubePress install directory (wp-content/plugins/tubepress)
2. Unzip the latest version of TubePress into (wp-content/plugins)
3. Visit Site Admin > Settings > TubePress once initialize your options

3.4 Sidebar Widget

The TubePress plugin comes with widget functionality, which allows you to place a customizable list of videos in your blog's sidebar. Here's an example of the widget's output:

There are no separate installation instructions; if you've installed and enabled the TubePress plugin then you're done. Please see the WordPress widget documentation for general info on how to enable and disable widgets.

This is what the TubePress widget control looks like:

In the "Title" section of the widget control, enter the text you'd like for the sidebar's header.

To customize which videos show up in your sidebar, just use a TubePress shortcode. Please note that by default, the TubePress widget will use the following shortcode:

[tubepress resultsPerPage='3', views='false', description='true', descriptionLimit='50', playerLocation='popup', thumbHeight='105', thumbWidth='135']

Of course, like any TubePress shortcode, you can override any setting you like.

3.5 Initialize your options If you'd like to reset your TubePress options to their default values, you can do so by using a special page nested inside the plugin. If your blog URL is https://www.tradebit.com you'd need to navigate to https://www.tradebit.com with your web browser. Once there, you can just click the Reset TubePress Options button. Of course, you'll need to be a WordPress administrator (access level 9) for your blog to do this. 4. TubePress Pro TubePress Pro allows you to run TubePress anywhere that supports PHP5. This means that you can easily insert video galleries in your PHP-enabled site! A very basic understanding of PHP programming is helpful. 4.1 Plain PHP Here are step-by-step instructions for using TubePress Pro on your site.

1. Download
   After you purchase TubePress Pro, check your email that you've registered with PayPal. You'll find an email, from https://www.tradebit.com, that contains your download link. When you click on this link, your web browser will prompt you to download (or open) a zip file containing TubePress Pro. Click "Save file" and download the zip file to somewhere easy to find, like your desktop. As of this writing, the name of the zip file is tubepress_pro_1_7_0.zip.
   
   
2. Unzip
   Unzip the file you just downloaded (tubepress_pro_1_7_0.zip). It will expand into a directory named tubepress_pro_1_7_0.
   
   
3. Upload
   This entire directory that you unzipped must be uploaded to your web server in a place that's web accessible. In this example, my webserver has a URL of https://www.tradebit.com and a document root of /var/www/html, so I'll need to upload the entire tubepress_pro_1_7_0 directory to anywhere inside /var/www/html on https://www.tradebit.com. For this example, I'll just upload the directory to the /var/www/html directory.
   
   Now my TubePress installation is web accessible at https://www.tradebit.com and on the server's filesystem at /var/www/html/tubepress_pro_1_7_0.
   
   
4. Verify upload
   It's a good idea to make sure that the directory you just uploaded is actually readable by your web server. Try navigating to https://www.tradebit.com You should get a blank white screen with no errors.
   
   
5. Create gallery page
   I want to create a gallery in /var/www/html/index.php. Below are the contents of index.php. It's an extremely simple PHP file with four steps added to include a TubePress gallery. We'll go the steps one-by-one. TubePress Standalone Example
