  5. This new version is awesome. The added myspace tags are just what I have been looking for. Keep up the good work. We appreciate it.

  6. This plugin is terrific!
    The repeated failures to publish a nice post on WP were driving me mad. Thanks Viper, you’ve got a wonderful invention here.

  15. Hi, I noticed that after updating to v4.0 (from v3.0), all my YouTube video boxes which were “previously” left-aligned are now ALL AUTOMATICALLY CENTERED by v4.0. Umm, what do I do to get it back left-aligned (I preferred this). The centered videos have affected the aesthetics/alignment of certain elements in my post entries.

  16. This looks like a great plugin. I’ve tried several and they didn’t work. The plugin is activated–there was a problem with WordPress Email Notification Plugin not allowing the bbcode buttons to be displayed–and the buttons work fine, but when I insert a YouTube address in and it places it in my post, it doesn’t actually load the vid. All I get is [youtube]blah[/youtube] in the post.

    What am I missing? Thanks.

  17. Belay that last request. Stupid me–when I imported my old blog to the wp blog it must have stripped code from the url. By inputing the original link everything is fine. Plug in works great! Thanks a million

    I’ll make that configurable via the options page in the next version, but for now, just edit the .css file that comes with the plugin and then hard refresh (control + F5) to flush your cache.

  21. Viper,
    is it possible to avoid div tags wrapping videos? They may generate invalid HTML code (for instance, if they are between p and /p tags).

    I think it would be better using span tags, or at least being configurable; I have made that change by myself to your code.

    This isn’t an issue in WordPress 2.1 (the version I coded this in) as you can see with my demo page. I simply forgot about that bug in WP 2.0.x. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I’ll check the version and use spans for versions affected by the wpautop() bug(s). ๐Ÿ™‚

    Viper,
    I agree with you that wpautop() is really terrible :s. I realized when trying to generate valid XHTML code.

    I have modified your code to use span instead of div so as to get valid XHTML code; moreover, I’m inserting some HTML code (between object and /object tags) as alternate content to pass some accesibility validators ๐Ÿ™‚

    You can see it in
    http://jordisan.net/modules/wordpress/2007/feliz-mmvii-y-todo-eso/

    I think both features would be nice to be included in future releases of your plugin ๐Ÿ™‚

  24. Ups… sorry for my previous comment.. It’s a little bit confusing :s

    I’m just suggesting you to use span (instead of div) to avoid XHTML fails, and to put some alternate content between object and /object (a link to the video) to get better accesibility.

    Thanks!

    I know, the code display plugin I use is crappy. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    I’ve had alt text in there before in previous versions, but it never seemed to show up (even when the item was 404), so I removed it. I forgot about accessibility though, so I’ll put it back in.

    As for Quicktime, this it the method I used: http://realdev1.realise.com/rossa/rendertest/quicktime.html

    It works perfectly fine for me in Firefox, but I’ll give A List Apart’s method another look (seen it before, but opted to go with the other method).

  29. I’m speaking about the versione 4.0.0

    The method you linked works, but doesn’t seem that your plugin apply that method ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Both ways uses 2 nested object tag, with the version 4.0.0 of the plugin I see only 1 single tag… ๐Ÿ˜

    Hmm, I mighta ended up removing it ’cause it wasn’t working right in IE or something. I can’t remember. Can’t believe I didn’t test it in FF after the change!

  31. Hi kyle!

    Did you changed the way that the video appears in the RSS Feeds?

    I’ve instaled the Viper 4.0.0 with WordPress 2.0.6. Now in my feeds I only have the URL of the video, instead the video object.

    Thanks,
    Leo

    That was done on purpose. <object> tags cannot be in feeds.

  33. Is it possible to change it back?

    Almost all the RSS feeds that I subscribe shows the embed videos. I think it’s too much text and a little ugly. How can I put the videos back on the feeds?

    Thanks ๐Ÿ™‚

  34. [quote comment=”15392″]Is it possible to change it back?[/quote]

    I won’t be, no. I don’t want to make non-validating feeds and feeds that may break some feed readers. You’re welcome to though.

    Open the plugin and find this line:

    [code]if ( is_feed() ) {[/code]

    Replace it with this:

    [code]if ( TRUE === FALSE ) {[/code]

    Huh?

  41. Hi! Your plugin works just excellent to my WP Blog, but I want to use some “GoEar.Com” files, like I use a youtube archive .. so, I need to modify your plugin. It works fine modified, and I give you the permalink to download and view my hack to your plugin. Hope you likeit! Goear.com itรƒโ€šร‚ยดs like youtbe.com but it works with mp3 files.
    No more chat, you can download “our” (lol) plugin at: http://www.ezenlaweb.com/vipers_videoquicktags+GOEAR.rar

    Thanx a lot for your great plugin. ๐Ÿ™‚

  42. Hi your plugin is excellent! but I don’t understand what part of the code I have to put to show myspace videos

    MySpace support was added in version 4.0, so for now, you’ll have to live without it. Sorry.

  44. Hi,

    I just got a notice from my hosting that my website was killing their servers. Since there wasn’t anything different from previous weeks i tried to “debug” this. I found out that it takes forever to load the youtube videos. So i went to youtube.com and it seems to be down. I wonder if youtube being down and the plugin trying to open the video could cause this.

    I use version 3.0.0

    thanks ๐Ÿ˜‰

  45. [quote comment=”15822″]I wonder if youtube being down and the plugin trying to open the video could cause this.[/quote]

    Nope. The loading of the YouTube video is client side, not server side. You server just spits some HTML (text) and people’s browsers figure out that they need to connect to YouTube.com and download a file.

  48. Hi! Thanks for the great plug-in!
    I use FF 2.0.0.1 & WP2.1 and your plugin version 3.0.0 (and inserted the – include(ABSPATH . ‘/wp-content/plugins/vipers_videoquicktags/resources/buttonsnap.php’); – line )In this config the quicktags do not show up in the WYSIWYG. After changing the userprofile in WP to “not using” the WYSIWYG the quicktags appeared in the remaining “code”-window…. So I can use the plug-in ๐Ÿ™‚ but I would like them also in the WYSIWYG option. Any ideas?
    btw: The videos posted with the old version of the plug-in still work perfect!!

  50. [quote comment=”16013″]Hi there! I upgraded to WP 2.1 today, and it seems that this plug-in is no longer working.[/quote]

    I assure you, it does, for the most part. I’ve been using WordPress 2.1 for ages now. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    The only thing that won’t work is the buttons in TinyMCE. That’s fixed in v4 due to an extensive recode, but I don’t recommend using it yet. Just disable the rich editor for now.
