README

YoutubeSync is the module of your choice, if you like to show your youtube videos on your homepage. It allows you to fetch videos from Youtube by just giving your username and a valid API key. The videos are stored in the database with a custom DataObject, so the API must not be called on every page load.

Installation

composer require level51/silverstripe-youtubesync 

Setup

1. Be sure that the module is in a folder youtubesync/ on the root of the project.

4. Go to the CMS settings and put your key and username in the Youtube tab
