Selective Microdata + View Count

Oh and is there any way to create a video sitemap using the plugin that I am not seeing? If no, any plugin that wp youtube lyte integrates well with for this?

-> selective microdata: I could add a filter to allow you(r developer) to disable/ enable microdata, but the logic to show/ not show the microdata will still have to be added off course.

-> view count: I could add some filters left and right to request & store extra data from the YT API, which could also be useful to remove microdata-data (yeah) if channel ID is not yours (again; logic to be added)?

-> video sitemap: no idea I’m afraid, sorry.

I’ll add some of those filters in the beta version (on github), more soon.

cheers,
frank

Update for selective microdata: that can already be done with the lyte_settings filter which allows one to change the $lyteSettings array, inclucing $lyteSettings['microdata'].

ok, see https://github.com/futtta/wp-youtube-lyte/commit/9cc5d0a5b44ad70f4409173a44d42aaeaff2f2c8

with those you(r developer) could/ should have fun with filters:

1. use the new lyte_filter_ytapi_video_params filter to ensure view count (part of statistics) is requested from the YT API
2. use the new lyte_filter_ytapi_pre_store_results filter to ensure the view count is extracted and cached AND to remove e.g. description if the channelID (which is in the YT API response is not yours
3. use the existing lyte_match_postparse_template which now has the YT response array as extra parameter to alter the LYTE output (e.g. to add the view count (from the statistics parameter somewhere)

enjoy! ??

You’re the man. Thank you so much Frank – these are (look) AMAZING. I will pass these along as they are a bit above my paygrade. Thank you so much!
