Custom Index Module

[LeeFoster]

Morning all,

I am currently working on a custom index model that shows YouTube videos from the shops related channel. I have the code working outside of Phoenix but I'm looking at how to add it in.

I know how to duplicate the module and get that to show, what I'm struggling with is where to put the code for the function that fetches the videos - see below.

Code: Select all

function fetchLatestVideos($apiKey, $channelId, $maxResults = 3) {
    $apiUrl = "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?key=$apiKey&channelId=$channelId&part=snippet,id&order=date&maxResults=$maxResults";
    $response = file_get_contents($apiUrl);
    return json_decode($response, true);
}

$apiKey = ''; // Replace with your YouTube API key
$channelId = ''; // Replace with your YouTube channel ID
$videos = fetchLatestVideos($apiKey, $channelId);

header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo json_encode($videos);

Probably misunderstanding but does it not work with that function definition in the main module file and $videos variable then output in the tpl_ file?

That was my thought too but it didn't work. I've since gotten the module to a point that it displays the boxes for the videos but not the videos themselves and gives the error

Notice: Undefined variable: videoId in includes\modules\pi\index\templates\tpl_i_youtube_videos.php on line 11

Don't have an answer. Only guessing the video.id.videoId property might not be defined in the response from the YouTube API. Maybe the video is some type of content that doesn't have a videoId field.

Strange thing is I had this working on it's own before I decided to add it to a Phoenix site.

header('Content-Type: application/json');

This is code to make the video the page that you are viewing. There would be different code to embed a video on a particular page with other content.
