YouTube CFC Update and a Demo Site

coldfusion (This post is more than 2 years old.)

I've updated the YouTube CFC and now have it posted up at RIAForge: YouTube CFC

The new version now includes a utility function to return a query of valid categories for use with the category search API.

I built a quick little demo site using ColdFusion 8 Ajax goodness and the CFC. Enjoy.

Heh thanks. And remember my design skills suck. I'm sure a designer could make it even nicer.

@Ray,
Just downloaded the zip from riaforge, and there's not much about implementing it similiarly to your demo, am I missing something?

Comment 12 by Raymond Camden posted on 8/26/2009 at 8:24 PM

Not sure what you mean. The docs are lean, but if you read the CFC you should see the methods and the arguments for each. Does that help any?

Hi Ray,

just tried your demo and it failed - The method getVideosByTag was not found in component demos.yt.youtube.

Just entered some text in the first textbox and hit "Search".

I'll check when I get back home.

The demo is way old - sorry.
