Andreu - Thanks for sharing this block with the Moodle community and please accept my apologies for the delayed response. My summer work has kept me from getting as much accomplished for Moodle as I would like. In any case, I am starting to review your code. Please know that my comments are meant to be constructive and help make your code better or make the experience for new users of your code go more smoothly so use them in so far as they are helpful to you. I recommend testing code with Moodle debugging set to show all reasonable errors and notices (not developer mode). Here are a few notices I received when I first added the block to the front page of my test site:

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /home/arborrow/Moodle/code/19stable/blocks/youtube_list/block_youtube_list.php on line 27

Warning: DOMDocument::load() [domdocument.load]: Empty string supplied as input in /home/arborrow/Moodle/code/19stable/blocks/youtube_list/block_youtube_list.php on line 27

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$footer in /home/arborrow/Moodle/code/19stable/blocks/moodleblock.class.php on line 355

These are usually minor errors from not checking that a particular variable is defined or not initializing a variable. I'm happy to help you debug them and come up with patches if you would like. Peace - Anthony

Andreu - I tried to get the block to work but without initial success. I'll try to take a look at the code and see what is happening. In the meantime, do you have a demo site that I might look at to see the block in operation? Peace - Anthony

No worries Andreu - I look forward to seeing the working code and then figuring out what was happening. One step at a time. Thanks for your patience. Peace - Anthony

Andreu - It looks like it has been a few months since you accessed Moodle.org. I never heard back if you had managed to correct some of the issues I found in my initial review of the code. With the release of Moodle 2.0, I am trying to go through and resolve any inactive issues. I am resolving this as incomplete; however, if you are still interested in having the code in CONTRIB just let me know and I can re-open the issue. Please do not hesitate to let me know if there is anything I can do to be supportive of your efforts. Peace - Anthony
