V Share/Youtube Niche Video Script

[alan081954]

I have the V Share installed,Can the Niche script be incorporated into V Share? Is it the same as my V Share and users can upload videos also? Or does this one just grab videos from youtube?

The Niche script only grabs videos from YouTube. If you want to incorporate this into your vShare site, you'll need to also modify the .htaccess to allow access to the directory, otherwise you'll get "user not found".

You do this by inserting this piece of code into the .htaccess of the vShare site:

RewriteRule ^youtube$ - [L]

RewriteRule ^youtube/(.*) - [L]

Or whatever you're calling the directory of your Niche section. I call mine "youtube". This is also helpful if you have other directories that you want to use with vShare like a forums section. In place of "youtube" in the above code, just put in the directory name of your forum section. I call mine "forum" and it would look like this:

RewriteRule ^forum$ - [L]

RewriteRule ^forum/(.*) - [L]

If you don't put the name of the extra directory in the .htaccess in this fashion, you'll get a "User not found" error since vShare would be looking for the virtual directory of user's profiles. This keeps it from doing that.
