I will take a look at the link you send me, and if I don't figure something out I will get back to you for these recommendations.</p> <p>Best regards,<br /> Fannar </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/verify-youtube-link#post-28692 Tue, 28 Jun 2011 11:36:08 +0000 Carl Hancock 28692@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This isn't a built in feature but there is no reason why it couldn't be done as a customization using the gform_validation hook. </p> <p>The gform_validation hook allows you to write your own custom validation for a field. You could write custom validation that checks the data entered in a field against the Google API to validate the video URL.</p> <p>A tutorial on the gform_validation hook can be found here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Using_the_Gravity_Forms_%22gform_valiation%22_Hook" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Using_the_Gravity_Forms_%22gform_valiation%22_Hook</a></p> <p>If you need to hire a developer to implement this for you I can refer you to developers with Gravity Forms customization experience. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/verify-youtube-link#post-28672 Tue, 28 Jun 2011 06:01:17 +0000 kbkisan 28672@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi there, I was wondering if it is possible to somehow verify a YouTube link when submitting a form.</p> <p>In my form I want the users to be able to paste their YouTube link into a field ( not embed code, just the link e.g. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNhPYj-5rIY)" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNhPYj-5rIY)</a></p> <p>And then when the user submits the form use the google API to verify if the video exists.<br /> <a href="http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/qNhPYj-5rIY" rel="nofollow">http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/qNhPYj-5rIY</a></p> <p>That way the user won't be able to submit a link that does not work.</p> <p>I am not sure how I can make this work, maybe by being able to create a custom "Submit" button to append this check to it ? </p>
