A while ago, I wrote a post about my eZ Publish extensions for Flickr and YouTube. I have been meaning to upload them onto official eZ publish repository but didn’t really get to doing it until I received a comment a few days ago which reads, “I’m exactly looking for these extensions. I couldn’t find anything on ez.no. Is it possible to download them or get from you in any way?”

Therefore, may I present you:

• Flickr tag search and
• Youtube tag search

Flickr tag search
This extension uses Flickr API to talk to Flickr database. Basically, you pass a keyword/tag you’d like to search to the template operator and it will return a list of photos. It provide a template operator and you can call it from any template after the extension is enabled.

Usage:

{flickr_tag_search($api_key,$tag,$per_page)}

@param string $api_key your unique api key provided by Flickr
@param string $tag keyword that you wish to search for, eg: dream
@param integer $per_page the total number of results to return eg: 10

Youtube tag search
This extension uses YouTube API to talk to YouTube database. Basically, you pass a keyword/tag you’d like to search to the template operator and it will return a list of matching videos. It provides a template operator which you can call from any template after the extension is enabled.

Usage:
{youtube_tag_search($dev_id,$tag,$per_page)}

@param string $dev_id your unique developer ID provided by YouTube
@param string $tag keyword that you wish to search for, eg: dream
@param integer $per_page the total number of results to return eg: 10

Special thanks to Kristof Coomans at eZ Publish for creating an account for me and Pommes for asking about the extensions.
