[BS] BlogSense Tips Using Youtube Shortcode to Generate Video ID

Sometimes we need to capture the youtube video id so we can embed it into a theme shortcode, or custom video player like JW Player . Here is a trick to use BlogSense’s video generation shortcode to return the video id rather then the object embed code. Go to Automation->Core Templates->Post Template: Youtube Object Edit the template to contain %video_id% only. And voila now the youtube shortcode should return a video id.   Now keep in mind that this template also powers the %video_embed% token within the ‘Videos’ module. So if you are using the Videos module be prepared for the %video_embed% token to return the video id instead of the object embed code.
