Shortcode For Playlist

you can try <?php echo do_shortcode('[lyte id="PLID&index='.print(rand(1,200)).'" audio=”true” playlist=”true” /]'); ?>, i’ve seen others having some success with this non-official approach (although I think it was for individual video’s, not playlists). no guarantees though ??

Thank you for the prompt response. Unfortunately, it keeps printing out this error –

148" audio=”true” playlist=”true” /][lyte id="PLID&index=1

Where the 148 above is a number that changes with each refresh, so it is printing out a random number, but putting it in the wrong place, and thus breaking the code.

Is it possible to make the changes in a similar method has mentioned in these topics – https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/individual-playlist-not-working/
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/problems-with-playlists-in-custom-fields/

Or is there a way to add a filter to YouTube iframes for mobile, in a similar method has mentioned here –

add_filter('lyte_do_mobile','lyte_on_mobile',10,0);
function lyte_on_mobile(){
    return true;
}

Really appreciate the assistance, thanks

and <?php echo do_shortcode('[lyte id="PLID&index='.rand(1,200).'" audio=”true” playlist=”true” /]'); ?> ?

The shortcode isn’t broken, but the print out on the page – strips out the index info, so the html looks like the below (?index doesn’t show, just goes back to &autoplay, like with the regular shortcode).

<iframe id="iF_PLID" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLID&autoplay=1&controls=1&wmode=opaque&rel=0&egm=0&iv_load_policy=3&hd=0&autohide=0" style="position:relative;top:-400px;" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="438" width="840"></iframe>

Is there a way to add it to the js file that adds the other YouTube parameters, i.e. controls, wmode, etc. Basically, a way to generate a random number, within the js script.

Thanks again for the assistance.

that looks like the HTML after clicking play, what’s the HTML before having clicked play?

This is the html before clicking play with &index=’.rand(1,200).’

<div class="lyte lyte-audio playlist lP" id="WYL_PLID"><div id="lyte_PLID" data-src="" class="pL"><div class="tC"><div class="tT">Playlist:Mix</div></div><div class="play"></div><div class="ctrl"><div class="Lctrl"></div><div class="Rctrl"></div></div></div><noscript><a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLID"><br />Watch this playlist on YouTube</a></noscript></div>

ok, think I’ve got it;

add_filter('lyte_match_postparse_template','playlist_randomizer');
function playlist_randomizer($in) {
  return str_replace('class="lyMe playlist"','class="lyMe playlist qsa_\&index\='.rand(1,200).'"',$in);
}

enjoy ??

Huge thanks for trying to help figure this out. Added the above code to functions.php and then tried out the shortcode in two ways:

added to a page template – <?php echo do_shortcode('[lyte id="PLID" audio=”true” playlist=”true” /]'); ?>

added to a page – [lyte id="PLID" audio=”true” playlist=”true” /]

and in both cases the index information was stripped out of the final html, just like before.

hmm, can you try with a normal youtube playlist link in a post instead? that’s how I tested.

Apologies, you were right, it does work. We were getting an error, because of the audio only part. So: [lyte id=”PLID” audio=”true” playlist=”true” /] doesn’t work, the index info is stripped out, but [lyte id=”PLID” playlist=”true” /] works.

Hurray ?? Would appreciate if you can help with the styling to just show the audio only. Thanks and left a review as well.

indeed, we need to add the lyte-audio to the list of classes to make it work;

add_filter('lyte_match_postparse_template','playlist_randomizer');
function playlist_randomizer($in) {
  return str_replace('class="lyMe lyte-audio playlist"','class="lyMe lyte-audio playlist qsa_\&index\='.rand(1,200).'"',$in);
}

thanks for the kind review ??

Works well, thanks again ??

Just for the future, is there a way to create an array so that the randomizer works for both the lyMe playlist and lyMe lyte-audio playlist at the same time.

• This reply was modified 7 years, 6 months ago by leoly.

an array would not work, as the replace-argument of str_replace would not have the correct classes any more. so either go regex (but let’s not) or try e.g.

add_filter('lyte_match_postparse_template','playlist_randomizer');
function playlist_randomizer($in) {
  return str_replace('class="lyMe ','class="lyMe qsa_\&index\='.rand(1,200),$in);
}

Unfortunately, that didn’t work. But we have taken too much of your time already. Thanks again for the continued follow up ??. Below where the html print outs for the audio only shortcode and the full video.

<div class="lyte qsa_\&index\=166lyte-audio playlist lP" id="PLID">
<iframe id="iF_PLID" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLID&autoplay=1&controls=1&wmode=opaque&rel=0&egm=0&iv_load_policy=3&hd=0&index=166lyte-audio playlist&autohide=0" style="position:relative;top:-400px;" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="438" width="1060"></iframe></div>

<div class="lyte qsa_\&index\=163playlist lP" id="PLID">
<iframe id="iF_PLID" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLID&autoplay=1&controls=1&wmode=opaque&rel=0&egm=0&iv_load_policy=3&hd=0&index=163playlist" style="" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="298" width="1060"></iframe></div>

Also tried this

add_filter('lyte_match_postparse_template','playlist_randomizer');
function playlist_randomizer($in) {
  return str_replace('class="lyMe ','class="lyMe qsa_\&index\='.rand(1,200).'"',$in);
}

and got this, which killed the playlist, because it printed out as embed/PLID, instead of embed/videoseries?list=PLID

<div class="lyte qsa_\&index\=41 lP" lyte-audio="" playlist"="" id="PLID"><iframe id="PLID" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PLID?autoplay=1&controls=1&wmode=opaque&rel=0&egm=0&iv_load_policy=3&hd=0&index=41" style="" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="38" width="1060"></iframe></div>

<div class="lyte qsa_\&index\=186 lP" playlist"="" id="PLID"><iframe id="PLID" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PLID?autoplay=1&controls=1&wmode=opaque&rel=0&egm=0&iv_load_policy=3&hd=0&index=186" style="" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="298" width="1060"></iframe></div>
