What would it be if we would break the barriers between the informative and the social web – If we would fusion applicative and interactive? What would it be if we would revise the nature of the software that became a powerful social platform and reorient it to become a global axe for virtual content distribution? – What would your V2 be?

I hope for all success of this project. please visit http://ww2.phpizabi.net/?L=special.vcp to know more about it.

1. First get the developer key for using youtube api.
   Go to http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/dashboard/ and regsiter a developer key
   You will be given client id and  developer key. Note it down, it will be used in your own application later.
2. Get the php client libraries, Go to http://framework.zend.com/download/gdata
3. extract it to your server. I assume you put the Zend direcctory in your server document root.
4. Create a form in your site as below which i assume will be pointed to upload.php file in your srver.

<form action="upload.php"  method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<select name="videoCategory">
<option value="Autos">Autos &amp;amp; Vehicles</option>
<option value="Music">Music</option>
<option value="Animals">Pets &amp;amp; Animals</option>
<option value="Sports">Sports</option>
<option value="Travel">Travel &amp;amp; Events</option>
<option value="Games">Gadgets &amp;amp; Games</option>
<option value="Comedy">Comedy</option>
<option value="People">People &amp;amp; Blogs</option>
<option value="News">News &amp;amp; Politics</option>
<option value="Entertainment">Entertainment</option>
<option value="Education">Education</option>
<option value="Howto">Howto &amp;amp; Style</option>
<option value="Nonprofit">Nonprofit &amp;amp; Activism</option>
<option value="Tech">Science &amp;amp; Technology</option>
</select>
<label for="title">Title</label>
<input id="title" name="title" type="text">
<label for="description">Description</label>
<textarea id="description" name="description" rows="5"></textarea>
<label for="keywords">Kewords (use comma , to separate)</label>
<input id="keywords" name="keywords" value="" type="text">
<br class="clr" />
<input value="Next -> choose video" name="add" type="submit" />
</form>

Create upload.php

<?php

if(isset($_POST['add'],$_POST['videoCategory'],$_POST['title'],$_POST['description']))
{
//add the video meta data to session
$_SESSION['vidmeta']['category'] = $_POST['videoCategory'];
$_SESSION['vidmeta']['title'] = $_POST['title'];
$_SESSION['vidmeta']['description'] = $_POST['description'];
$_SESSION['vidmeta']['keywords'] = $_POST['keywords'];

//application id change this to our applicationId
$applicationId = 'onnepalvideosite';
//client id change this to our own client id
$clientId = "ytapi-xxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxx";
//developer key change this to your own key
$developerKey = "xxxxxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxx";
//include zend loader
require_once('Zend/Loader.php'); // the Zend dir must be in your include_path
//include youtube class
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_YouTube');
//include the client login class
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin');
//Client login
$authenticationURL= 'https://www.google.com/youtube/accounts/ClientLogin';
$httpClient = Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin::getHttpClient(
$username = 'your username here',
$password = 'our password here',
$service = 'youtube',
$client = null,
$source = 'onnepal', // a short string identifying your application
$loginToken = null,
$loginCaptcha = null,
$authenticationURL);

$yt = new Zend_Gdata_YouTube($httpClient, $applicationId, $clientId, $developerKey);
// create a new VideoEntry object
$myVideoEntry = new Zend_Gdata_YouTube_VideoEntry();

$myVideoEntry->setVideoTitle($_POST['title']);
$myVideoEntry->setVideoDescription($_POST['description']);
// The category must be a valid YouTube category!
$myVideoEntry->setVideoCategory($_POST['videoCategory']);

// Set keywords. Please note that this must be a comma-separated string
// and that individual keywords cannot contain whitespace
$myVideoEntry->SetVideoTags($_POST['keywords']);

$tokenHandlerUrl = 'http://gdata.youtube.com/action/GetUploadToken';
$tokenArray = $yt->getFormUploadToken($myVideoEntry, $tokenHandlerUrl);
$tokenValue = $tokenArray['token'];
$postUrl = $tokenArray['url'];
$nextUrl = 'http://www.yoursite.com/yt.php';
print <<< END
<br /><form action="${postUrl}?nexturl=${nextUrl}"
method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input name="file" type="file"/>
<input name="token" type="hidden" value="${tokenValue}"/>
<input value="Upload Video File" type="submit" />
</form>
END;
}
?>

This code takes the category, title, description and keywords from the form and generates a form to upload video to youtube. You can then upload video to youtube using the form.
Next make yt.php file which is the $nexturl file, $nexturl is the location to which youtube will redirect after the upload is complete. YouTube appends id and status parameters to the URL as shown in the following example

http://www.yoursite.com/yt.php?status=200&id=JPF-DXF7hzc

Afterou get the youtube video id in your yt.php file you can add it to your own database to show videos in your site. You can do anything you wish with the variables you get through yt.php.I hope it will be help ful to all wishing to use youtube apis to upload video.

This can also be implemented to phpizabi sites.

Below are some of the platform i have reviewed and will recommend you to try it out.

1. socialengine

-Of all the platforms i find this one as a real platform of choice, It’s a total socialnetowk out of the box.  But’s it’s not a free, it costs $250 for core and $40 each for the plugins. Once you get the socialengine installed and go through it’s codes you can start developing your socialnetwork. I recommed this as the best platform. The tamplating system used is smarty so you can easily change the look and feel of your site. you can go to the site here

2. phpizabi

-The easiest to modify socialnetwork framework. Specially theme designing is easy with this socialnetwork framework. It’s free and opensource framework. But was regarded as the looser in the socialnetwork framework battle due to the fact that, it could not handle more users. Scalability was the issue with this framework. But I personally liked this framework. Cleanely coded, own theme engine, easy to modify was the pros of this framework. Why i mention this framework here is because with some modifications we can make it work better and make a robust social network out of it. It just need some rehaul in the coding and it can handle everything needed for the socialnetwork. To go to the site click here

3. boonex dolphin

-The socialnetwork framework with lot’s of features. They have reay done good job in their latest releases. It’s soon getting pace in it’s development and they have also announced of their future releases they are working on and they hype that it is going to be the best choice among all other. I hope to get the releases soon. click here

4. phpfox

-The most popular platform i think. It costs $300 for full liscence. With it you get 6 month of support and upgrades. There are several modules available for this platform. Installation and modification service is also available in the site. It’s also a out of the box socialnetwork platform click here

There are many platforms available for socialnetwork. you can also use joomla, wordpress, drupal to build a socialnetwork, but the best will be to start coding your own custom platform so that you can make it work as you want. As for other who want to make their own socialnetwork rapidly above are the platforms they should consider.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `phpizabi_contact` (
`id` int(9) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`user` int(9) NOT NULL,
`friend` int(9) NOT NULL,
`date` int(32) NOT NULL,
`is_blocked` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM ;

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `phpizabi_contact_request` (
`id` int(9) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`for_user` int(9) NOT NULL,
`from_user` int(9) NOT NULL,
`date` int(32) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM ;

-- --------------------------------------------------------

--
-- Table structure for table `phpizabi_gallery`
--

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `phpizabi_gallery` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`user` int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
`img` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '0',
`date` int(32) NOT NULL,
`album_id` int(32) NOT NULL default '0',
`title` varchar(250) NOT NULL default '',
`description` longtext NOT NULL,
`views` int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
`comments` int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
`rating` float NOT NULL default '0',
`votes` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
`is_mainpicture` tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY `id` (`id`),
FULLTEXT KEY `title` (`title`,`description`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM ;

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `phpizabi_gallery_album` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`user` int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
`date` int(64) NOT NULL default '0',
`cover_img` varchar(64) NOT NULL,
`album_name` varchar(20) NOT NULL default '',
`album_description` text NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY `id` (`id`),
FULLTEXT KEY `album_name` (`album_name`,`album_description`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM ;

Now to load the contents of the users from the old phpizabi database to new tables we can use the following script.
Inserting pictures to new gallery table.

$sql = myQ("SELECT `id`,`pictures`, `username` FROM `[x]users`");
while($row = myF($sql)){
$pictures = unpk($row["pictures"]);
if (!is_array($pictures)) $pictures = array();

foreach ($pictures as $pic) {
myQ("
INSERT INTO `[x]gallery` (`user`,`img`,`date`,`title`,`description`,`is_mainpicture`)
VALUES
('{$row["id"]}','{$pic["FILE"]}','".time()."','{$pic["NAME"]}','{$pic["DESCRIPTION"]}','{$pic["MAIN"]}')
");
}
}

Inserting contacts to new table:

$sql = myQ("SELECT `id`,`contacts` FROM `[x]users`");
while($row = myF($sql)){
$contacts = unpk($row["contacts"]);
if (!is_array($contacts)) $contacts = array();

foreach ($contacts as $groupName => $usersArray) {

if (is_array($usersArray)) foreach ($usersArray as $userArrayKey => $userEntity) {
myQ("
INSERT INTO `[x]contact` (`user`,`friend`,`date`)
VALUES
('{$row["id"]}','{$userEntity}','".time()."')
");

}
}

This should now transfer all the contacts and gallery pictures to the new table. I think i have covered the main part where you were confused about. After you get the informations in a table. You can code php to function with contact and gallery system. i hope it will be helpful.

// SQL INJECTIONS / XSS HACKS PROTECTION //////////////////////////////////////////////
$entities = array(";"=>"&amp;#059;", "\""=>"&amp;quot;", "'"=>"&amp;#039;", "<"=>"&amp;lt;", ">"=>"&amp;gt;", "\\"=>"&amp;#092;", "^"=>"&amp;#094;", "{"=>"&amp;#123;", "}"=>"&amp;#125;");

if (isset($_POST)) foreach($_POST as $var => $val)
if (!is_array($val) and substr($var, 0, 1) != "_")
$_POST[$var] = trim(strtr(stripslashes($val), $entities));

if (isset($_GET)) foreach($_GET as $var => $val)
if (!is_array($val) and substr($var, 0, 1) != "_")
$_GET[$var] = trim(strtr(stripslashes($val), $entities));

unset ($var, $val, $entities);

I hope phpizabi will be back soon and become stronger. Let’s hope for it as it was the best script i have ever used.

The tutorials i got useful for developing this site are linked below:

How to integrate phpbb3 template, session and other system to your site.

and Integrating with phpbb3 forum system

These tutorials were helpful for me to integrate the users from kiratisaathi.com(phpizabi) to mundhum.com(phpbb3). As it provides a useful class aswell. Since the password hashing is different in phpizabi and phpbb3 it was difficult to integrate both system, but thanks to this tutorial it got me working someway out.
