   If you want to display a high configurable gallery of thumbnails based on your posts that contains YouTube videos, with just a line of code, you will like to take a look on YouTubeNails, the first It Works On WordPress plugin.

   1. Upload youtubenails folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
   2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
   3. Just place youtubenails_show(); in your templates where you want the gallery to show

   You can also pass five other parameters(none of them are required) when calling the plugin e.g.

   youtubenails_show(6,3,'videoposts',1,5,4);

   where

   6 is the number of posts - thumbs 3 is the number of columns you want to display on each line

   'videoposts' is the category, if you want to show posts from a specific category for all categories, just put ''

   1 is the code for the YouTube thumbnail API
   where
   0 = big 480 x 360
   1 = small 120 x 90 different from 2 & 3
   2 = small 120 x 90 different from 1 & 3
   3 = small 120 x 90 different from 2 & 1
   if you choose no value for the third parameter, the plugin will randomize each time the page is load
   check YouTube API for futher info http://code.google.com/intl/en-UK/apis/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol.html

   5,4(the two last parameters) is for the result table cellspacing and cellpadding

   Hi,
   Sounds interesting but... how does it look like ?

   Hello, Myrioscope,

   You can see it working at http://www.felipecaroe.com/galeriavideos/

   I'm working on a widget to this plugin wich will be available on the next version, that will come probably next week

   To be honest with you I'm new on WordPress

   My plugins reflect my knowledge improvement step by step

   My second plugin, http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/get-post-list-with-thumbnails/ Get Post List With Thumbnails is already a widget

   Thank you for your comment,

   Best Regards

   Thanks for your answer. It seems to look fine, a screenshot on the plugin page could be a good thing for the persons who might be interested. Great job.

   Awesome ! I've tried your plugin on this little new blog : http://www.myrioscope.net/
   It seems to work fine except this : it displays only 2 videos and I have 3 Youtube videos ("number of posts" is default)
   And if you don't mind, I would suggest some improvements, if you find them usefull :
   - a configurable title for the widget, to display for example "Vidéos",
   - the title of the post underneath the thumbnail,
   - the plugin is called YoutubeNails, but I would find it usefull if it could work with Vimeo too.
   These are just suggestions, you've already done a very cool plugin !

   Thanks for your comments.

   Can I please twitter your blog, just to tell my friends you are using the plugin?

   If you don't mind, I'd like to know more details about the post that is not is not displayed. Maybe you could tell me what he has diferent from the others in terms of adding the YouTube url or object. I've tested a lot the plugin, but maybe there is something that I didn't see before, in the way YouTube build the thumbnails.

   I'll work on your suggestions, they are very good, maybe in about 15 days there will be news and I'll let you.

   Best Regards!

    No problem for the tweet.
    In fact, I just realized that 2 videos are in the same post. The plugin certainly displays only one video for every post. It's better so to avoid double posting.
    So there isn't any problem, it's all fine !
    Thanks a lot !
