Custom Django template tags to simplify embedding Youtube videos and thumbnails.
Uses HTML and CSS code from Embed Responsively.
Install via pip
$ pip install django-youtube-tags
or download the source, enter the directory, and
$ sudo python setup.py install
Make sure to include django-youtube-tags in your Django settings' INSTALLED_APPS:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'django-youtube-tags',
...Lastly, make sure to declare {% load youtube %} at the top of the Django template(s) where you plan to use this library.
video_id is the URL segment that uniquely identifies the YouTube video.
include_style is True by default. When True, it includes the CSS style inline. Depending on your situation, this may not be a good practice. The better practice may be to place {% youtube_style %} inside your template's <head> section and then use {% youtube_embed %} (see below)
Same as {% youtube %} with include_style set to False
Renders needed CSS classes inside a <style> tag.
<img alt="Rogue One" src="{% youtube_thumb 'Wji-BZ0oCwg' %}">Generates the thumbnail source URI
