nx-youtubeBox for Joomla!

NXD YouTubeBox

Joomla Module

The NXD-YouTubeBox is a module for Joomla 3, 4, 5 and 6 that integrates videos & playlists from Youtube in a modern way into your site. In addition to the free version of the module, there is also a Pro version available, which differs from the free version in some additional features and removes the nx-designs watermark on the videos.

Important note

With the introduction of version 2.0, the name was changed from nx-YouTubeBox to NXD YoutubeBox. Furthermore, various functionalities such as header mode (now banner layout), Polaroid layout and the BlockLayer were moved to the Pro version. Existing and future users of the free version still have access to the legacy version 1.5.x, which contains these features in an older version. To get the latest updates for those features a pro subscription is required.

As this is a very large update, it is not possible to update directly from version 1.x to version 2.x. However, the modules can be installed in parallel to enable smooth migration.

Dynamic Mode - One to serve them all

In dynamic mode, a single module instance can be used to display different videos on different pages/in different articles. For this purpose, the NXD YouTubeBox uses "Joomla! (Core) Custom Fields", which you can define individually and which can contain a different video or playlist ID for each article.

Then, the module just needs to be published on the relevant pages. Either in a module position or directly in the article (using loadmoduleid, for example).

Article A

Custom Field "My-Field" Value: "xyz-a54G"

{ loadmoduleid 42 }

Article B

Custom Field "My-Field" Value: "abdçf89-D"
