Viper’s Video Quicktags

Hi,

I don’t use wordPress built-in editor for posting. Rather I use external editors, say:- blogdesk & Qumana.

Is it possible to use your plugin, with these editors to Post video through ID. As I am also fed-up of copy & paste video code.

Regards,
DG…

Hi,

I have installed and activated this plugin, diabled the WYSIWYG editor, but I see no tabs on the write menu, or on the post text editor. Any ideas as to where I have gone wrong? Have I missed a step somewhere?

Thanks, Andy

Still no luck, couldn’t find any reference on the page for you tube or google, although I did find a google adsense code block in there which I didn’t know was there!

The plugin seems to activate OK, and I can just paste the embed code from youtube into the post and it works fine. The plot thickens…

I am using version 2.01

Congratulations!!! It’s amazing how someone finally got a plugin for video in the WYSIWYG editor

Will there be support for other services like abazab or groupr?

Your plugin works perfect. Wonder if you’ll add support for locally hosted videos. Just to enhace your plugin and make it top video plugin for WP . It seems you are the only one that dealt with WYSIWYG editor with success.

Well Viper just said up above that he’ll look into support for generic video in an upcoming version.

Hi there,

I have installed the latest version of the quick tag plugin, but it is not working for me. I get the buttons on the wysiwyg editor, but when I click on them nothing happens. I should note my blog is on a subdomain. I set it up to test the plugin so the blog address called it http://viper2.blogit2me.com

I get an error message at the bottom left hand corner of the window, (yellow triangle with exclamation mark), when I double click on it , it says the following:

Line: 324
Char: 51
Error : Object expected
Code: 0
URL: http://blogit2me.com/viper2/wp-admin/post.php

Any ideas? Could it be a security problem with javascript across domains?

Thanks,

Andy

thanks! works really good although you need to be careful with the embedded player in tinymce it can mess it up (not the fault of your plug-in).

Great plugin! Thanks a lot!

A very nice plugin. However it does not work with the WordPressMU multi user version. Everything between the

< and >

is stripped out.
Please contact me for admin access if you like to change it and make it work for MU, if it is between [ and ] it will probably work. Oh and the buttons do not show up in the rich text editor. They show up in the basic editor just fine.
Let me know please as this is a plugin I was looking for and our users would love it for sure.

I’ll be switching to a BBCode type of tag ([youtube], etc.) in the next version, so that’ll solve your problem.

That would be great. I will look into those buttons later. And let you know what I found.

Thanks

Necesito saber como incluir el viwer de Google video en una pagina web. Thanks!

Hi Viper,
Just used your Video Quicktags on my blog (www.aviceda.org/wp/) didn’t seem to work at the weekend but got my web-host to instal CURL…all seems fine now. Thanks for a good piece of software.
Tom

I installed your plug-in on my blog (http://bill.bzaar.net/blog/). I activated it and everything seemed to work just fine, so I posted a video from Google Video on a page and I saved it, trying to view the page just afterwards. Since then, I haven’t been able to access the blog anymore. I can’t access any of the pages, not even the Admin section. So I deleted the plug-in manually, because it wasn’t possible to deactivate it from the Dashboard, but nothing changed. Do you have any idea about the reason why all of this happened? Thanks a lot in advance and regards.

On occasion I was having similar problems to Bill where the entire Wordpress install (both admin and the site) would “hang” for several minutes with your plugin. I discovered that it only happened if I added videos from within the visual web page editor, and it would happen immediately after posting the clip and saving the entry. I think it must be some problem with the interaction between the code that gets placed in by your plugin and the TinyMCE code that drives the visual editor. As soon as I switched to the “classic” non-wysiwyg editor, the problems went away.

Brilliant plugin! Thanks. Is it possible to set dimensions for videos? The youtube vids don’t fit in my theme properly but the google videos do.
I could edit the theme but have not figured out how to do it yet so this would be a good alternative.
Thanks
Ray

Works! This should be part of the official Wordpress distribution.

I love it.

Hey Viper love the plugin any chance it also works with .swf files too, or if not any chance the next update might?

I figured out I had to upload the file to the my FTP (duh!) but when I just tried it, nothing happened. I do have my blog at its own domain could that be the problem? I also noticed that it made my WRITE window a lot bigger than it normally is to the point that when I typed, I couldn’t see everything as it went behind the side bar on the right hand side…

Is there a reason why the video would stop appearing? I got it to work even though my write box is still weirded out but today, the video’s aren’t showing up at all

Kym – I was wondering why my videos weren’t showing up, too. If yours are from YouTube (as mine are) they should reappear when YouTube finish whatever maintenance they’re doing at the moment.

Great plugin, Viper – just about to upgrade to the new version now.

false alarm…
youtube is down

Hmmm. v3 doesn’t play nicely with Subscribe2

See the forum for long details

erm.. i think there might be a problem… i’ve checked the youtube site and it’s back and running but the youtube vids on my blog aren’t showing up.. however, the vids that are outside of my blog (other parts of the site that are not relying on the plugin) are showing normally.

are we facing similar problems elsewhere?

note: i’m on version 2.0

hmm~ don’t mind what i said.. i don’t know what went wrong, but anyways i’ve upgraded to v3 and it works fine now. thanks!

can you add support to resize the video?

By the way, I have the Editor turned off, using version 3 of the Plug-in and a brand new install of WP (default theme).

Ah, missed that at the bottom of the Readme. I use Flash files all the time so it’s great for me. But, yes, I’ve seen other plugins that work just fine. No biggie. Thanks again for the great plugin.

Hi Viper, your plugin is awesome, easy to install, works fine with all types of medias, works in WYSIWYG..
I tried a lot of others plugin and this one is the best…
I have a suggestion anyway for the quicktime bits :
add the options in the pop ups (autostart, controller…)
and for me, the QT vids don’t resize…

These are really deetails…
Congratulations anyway..

Is there any way to get this to output something in the RSS feed like [see post to view video] (or the embedded video itself)? I’ve got a flash-based Audio Player plugin installed that outputs the same but for audio.

I tried your plugin, but I still have a problem : it works on IE, but not on Firefox : in the final page, I see a picture of my video but I can’t click on it to launch it. Is it normal ? It works well with Internet explorer…

Is there a way to have the quicktime video’s not play automatically? I would like to have a static image load and then pull in the video when clicked. Like on apples site. I know how to do it in a standard html page and embeding a quicktime, but how can you do that here in wordpress?

Could we have a button for odeo audio please? I would love to embed their player on Wordpress as you can on blogger. Or is there a way now since it is Flash?

this is the error:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/.aristotle/parq/plataformaarquitectura.cl/wp-content/plugins/vipers_videoquicktags/vipers_videoquicktags.php on line 120

Please link me to the HTML to do it (both no autoplay and an image) and I’ll gladly incorporate it.

And I think, but I am not sure, that autoplay is a client side option because QT videos don’t autostart for me, but then again, I am using QuickTime Alternative.

Bleeding edge plugin test page: http://www.viper007bond.com/wordpress-plugins/vipers-video-quicktags/testing//quote

The WMV files on my blog played automatically on my blog in Firefox but not IE So I switch the value from “false” to “0″ and they do not auto play now.

There is a minor bug on line 95. The bug is an extra double-quotation mark following value=$3. This messages up XHTML goodness and was causing problems in some browsers.

Wonderful, Amazing, Just too good.

I am so glad to see it working in Joomla JD-WP blog also where all other plugins failed.

thank you!

This plugin was not designed for nor tested in WPMU (as I’ve never used it), so I dunno what’s up. Asking on the WPMU forums for help debugging it might get you some help.

Thanks. I am doing a little digging and so far I think it has something to do with buttonsnap. Will post back when I know more. Or should we use your support forum?

Never heard of the site, but I just Googled it. I’ll support in the next version, but it won’t be as easy to use as say YouTube and the like since the unique ID they use in the embed isn’t listed anywhere on the page, only in the code to embed.

Thats cool. Google and YouTube are much better the Dailymotion. I wouldnt even use them, but there are a few content providers that use them to host their videos. Bah.

Omg, thank you! I’m tried three other YouTube video plug-ins and each one of the was a crap plug-in. Your’s is the first that actually *worked* and XHTML complaint to boot!

Great Work Viper007bond

Bye

I need your help, I am using the Plugins, but I cannot see the videos in Internet explored, alone in Firefox.
Thank you

Hi Viper,

I’ve been playing around with buttonsnap and implemented a simple Flash swf button using kmil flashembed to embed swf’s, youTube and Google vids. Then I happened on your excellent plugin and have managed to hook it into the Flash UFO javascript kmil uses to embed the swf’s, and your code even allowed me to add Director dcr support.

If it’s okay with you I’d like to bundle it into a media player I’ve built, with acknowledgments of course and released under GPL.

As to the WPMu problems with ButtonSnap I haven’t been able to get the buttons showing in wysiwyg either, Mu’s tinymce version is way ahead of wp and updating buttonsnap will probably have to wait until they converge again.

Fantastic Plugin thank you! Would you consider adding support for veoh.com, grouper.com, bolt.com, meta-cafe.com and vidi-life.com?

Hmm, I’m tempted to say no because then what would be the point of my plugin, but I guess you can. I mean, I unofficially release my stuff under GPL anyway, so you’re free to do as you wish.

Personally though, I think people are just better off installing both plugins if they want the features of both, but maybe that’s just me (I don’t like big, huge, do-everything plugins and prefer multiple, small plugins instead).

I agree, I don’t like code bloat either, but I’d already implemented the basic kmil Flash buttonsnap when I came across your plugin. What I’ve done is combine parts of your button javascript with kmil flashembed cos I really like the UFO javascript for embedding swf’s rather than writing object/embed code. The resultant script is still nice and small.

I did use your object tags to make a Director dcr button though cos a client needed to embed dcr’s and there’s nothing around that does it for WP. If you want to add that code to yours I’ll send it on over.

Cheers mate.

about 2 plugins:
if there´s one big plugin, and the author stops the development, you lose the whole package. with 2 plugins, one can be stopped and the other continue being developed..

that´s my 2 cents

Hey – Nice work on the plug-in – esp. implementing it into the WP admin interface :- )
Sample use of the plug-in here, along with some queries about autoloading?
http://raws.adc.rmit.edu.au/~e56720/blog/?p=159

Need to explore how it can use poster mov options though, so video does not automatically load. For now, adding autoplay=”false” into the code after width and height, seems to solve problem of video blaring up automatically when page loads up – I wonder whether this means the video always loads in background when page is loaded though – meaning unnecessarily heavy use of bandwidth.

See apple QT embed tags here >>
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/embed2.html

Example of a poster movie ( movie which has an image loaded, which when clicked, then loads the linked movie u actually want to play )
in html page : http://raws.adc.rmit.edu.au/~e56720/video/samplevideo.html ( u have to click on clip on right b4 it loads / plays )
in blog ( using vPIP plugin – http://utilities.cinegage.com/videos-playing-in-place/ )
http://raws.adc.rmit.edu.au/~e56720/blog/?p=158

I like viper better than vpip – but wondering whether u could incorporate some kind of poster-movieness? ( or just avoid any unnecessary download of movie, everytime page/post is loaded )
cheers from melbourne ~!

That’s a truly excellent plug-in. Tried to use someone elses for YouTube videos but it created an invalid SQL entry. This just *works*!

Thank you!

I love it, its is veeery good, is the unique video plugin that works fine.
its the best, very easy to use, i just love it.
when i get a job i will make a donation here ;p

Hello,

(I’m posting my question here because I still haven’t received my password for your forum. I registered about 2 hours ago.)

I’ve installed your plug-in, and I’ve made the code changes suggested by “James” in the forum. It doesn’t work for me.

I installed the lastest version of Wordpress just a week ago. I have the rich visual text (or visual rich text?) option switched off.

Even so, I don’t see any buttons/tags related to Viper’s Video on my “Write Post” page (I’ve also checked the “Write Page” page, and nothing.

Strangely, in the source pages, it all seems to be there, including the quicktag.js file.

The only plugin I have installed is Adsense Deluxe.

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Great plugin – Thanks a lot!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

I have been working for weeks to get video to embed, I have tried every plugin I could find. none worked.

YOURS WORKS!

Thanks for the great plugin!

Awesome plugin. Nice work.

-Dave

ok I have add this line

buttonsnap_jsbutton($thisfolder . '/images/wmp.png', 'FLV', "edInsertVideoFile('FLV', 'flv', 'flv');");

in vipers_videoquicktags.php

Works great on ie, but checked in Firefox and doesn’t show up. Any ideas?

Great plugin, thx a lot! Was looking for an easy plugin to blog Youtube and Google Videos, found it here

greetz,
T.

Hi, I have installed the plugin, but I have a little problem, I see the box of google but I can’t play the video.

This is the video http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3248490627252296964 and I put 3248490627252296964 between the tags.

Thanks in advance.

PD. Sorry, it is posible that my english is not correct.

Thank you very much, now is working correctly.

Thanks, great job! If you are looking for issues to improve, can I suggest anything? A alternative text replacing the video objetct in RSS feeds.

Thanks again!

You are awesome. This plug in is fabulous.

Yo,
love you work, THANK YOU.
anychance youwill make it compatible with MultiuserWP?
if not, any suggestion to what other plugins we could use that would occomplish the same thing?

how about an option that would allow you to either:
1: Use the rich editor buttons,
2: Or a set of plain HTML buttons that could be added right above the rich editor.

THis way, you give people the option of using the newer version of the rich edior and not lose the functionality of this sexy plugin!. It should be less than ahour worth of coding, hopefully i’ll play with that this weekend.

I have one question.
vipers_videoquicktags.php – 95 line WMV
data=”$3″” -> data=”$3″

is this right?

thanks to read broken my english

Wondering what the status of no autoplay for QT movies is.

Thanks.

This plugin kicks butt I love it. thank you!

No matter what I seem to do (remove other plugins, use different themes, etc.), when I install the plugin, the whole blog goes all white, and won’t return to normal until I remove the plugin. I am very interested in getting this to work. Any ideas?

hey, just wanna say thanks for the great plugin. One of Wordpress greatest plugin ever. This is what I want on my blog. Can’t wait for the latest version.

Thanks for this awesome and simple plugin! Upload, activate, done.

Hello,
its a super plugin.
Thank You!
Thomas

Just to tell you that only your video plugin works fine (3.1.0 Beta 1 have some small bugs with icons and i use 3.0.0) in my site http://djevrek.zbrka.net. Good work.

Hi!

How do I activate the WYSIWYG editor?

Nice plugin BTW.

Cheers

¿What about putting noembed tag with the video URL for RSS readers?

Nices work! Thank U!

Yep, much better handling of feeds is planned for the next version.

Cool!

Does it works with Myspace videos?

THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU !!!!

Even a complete bloggin newbie like me can now do the cool-guy video embedding.

Thanks for the advise I’ll be waiting for the next version!

Great plugin. Works great. Thanks.

Hi,

Will you be including My Space videoa in the next release? This would be a great addition.

Thanks

Excelent !! Very usefull and good plugin. Good work

This plugin is awesome. I tried 2 other plugins that put youtube vids into wordpress and yours if by far the best. Thanks!

Thank you! This was just what I was looking for!

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.

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.

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

Thanks just what I was looking for

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.

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

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

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

I’ve noticed that quicktime videos doesn’t show with firefox, so why dont you use the method explained at A List Apart?
http://alistapart.com/articles/byebyeembed

The problem is that it uses conditional comments to hide to IE an object tag and HTML comments within wordpress posts seems to cause some problems.

So I’ve used a class which hides that part from IE.

I’ve added this line to wp_head() function:

I hope this helps

Some problems with hml markup in the previous comment: the P tags are not mine

I’m speaking about the versione 4.0.0

The method you linked works, but doesn’t seem that your plugin apply that method

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

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

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

When inserted a video of google or youtube does not appear the button to see in complete screen.
How I can see that button?
Thanks

see this image

Thanks for you plugin!!

It helps me a lot! man!

see you!

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

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

You are a genius. Thanks for that plugin.

Hi there! I upgraded to WP 2.1 today, and it seems that this plug-in is no longer working.

Is the “danger” with version 4 something about the TinyMCE code or something else? The reason I’m asking is I’m trying to get that part working with my own plugin, and would love to know how you fixed it!

I’ve attempted to get it working following a set of instructions here: http://alexrabe.boelinger.com/?page_id=46 but am so far unsuccessful. He appears to have gotten his methodology from you. (Ah, open source — round and round she goes!)

What did you have to do to fix the TinyMCE buttons? Also, I have the impression that this was all working in WP 2.1 Beta, but not in the final version. True or no?

Thanks!

Interesting. When I install your 4.0 version, the TinyMCE editor is completely blank — no buttons _or content_ whatsoever. Trying the Code tab does nothing.

There must be some difference in the Server install or something. My test blog runs on Apache 2.0.52 on OS X. The Wordpress install is a fresh 2.1 install, so I can’t imagine the problem being there. No other plugins are running either.

I get this error in Firefox’s error console (striderweb.local is the locally hosted version of my site….):

Error: invalid flag after regular expression

As with others, turning off the Rich Text editor in User settings works just fine, so this isn’t a totally critical bug, but it would be nice to get working — and I figured you might be able to use the info for debugging. Apparently the WP folks are working to put TinyMCE hooks into the core code for version 2.2 so that’s cool.

I really love your solution to the new version of Wordpress (sarcasm):

So yeah, I wouldn’t really use 4.0 if I were you. Just stick to 3.0 and don’t use the WYSIWYG for now (it sucks anyway).

Come on, dude. All I want to do is use Wordpress 2.1, but I have to wait because you don’t want to fix this plugin to work with the newest version of WP.

“Come on, dude. All I want to do is use Wordpress 2.1, but I have to wait because you don’t want to fix this plugin to work with the newest version of WP.”

Hey Chris, repeat after me:
“Hey Man, thanks for all the hard work you’ve put into this great plugin. I hope to see the WYSIWYG stuff up and running sometime soon. Thanks again!”

There. Was that so hard?

Are you using English or Norwegian in the admin area of your blog?

I use English, so I dont think that should be a problem.

I will try installing the previous version of the plugin.

Thanks for responding

this plugin very helpful of mine
very good job
thank you very much

Hello,

I’ve been using your video quicktags plugin for quite awhile on my site and have at least 100 or so videos embedded with it.

Recently I have tried to install Alex Rabe’s WordTube plugin (http://alexrabe.boelinger.com/?page_id=20) to handle local videos files (files hosted locally, rather than those embedded from elsewhere like with your plugin), but for some reason I can’t get your plugin and his to play nice together.

When your plugin is active it somehow causes all of the “quotes” and apostrophes’ and whatnot that are in the script for his plugin to be rendered as html codes (& ntsb; and the like) instead of as quotes and apostrophes, which of course causes the plugin to fail and in some browsers to break the blog layout.

I have been discussing this with Alex in this thread on his forum ( here)
but we haven’t been able to figure this what the cause is, and he hasn’t been able to duplicate the problem.

I was wondering you might know what the problem might be (does something in your plugin in change encoding/rendering?) and maybe a work around?

You can see the plugin in action (or inaction at the moment really) on this post at my site http://www.ttancm.com/2007/02/02/popping/

The “Get the Flash Player to see the wordTube Media Player.” message is where the plugin should be displaying videos (the videos below that I have put in temporarily by just directly embedding the flowplayer swf to get the videos to show up while I try and fix this problem). It works if I disable your plugin but not if it is left on.

If you could take a look and let me know if you have any ideas I’d really appreciate it.

My blog is Wordpress 2.0.7 with the sandbox theme running, btw. The theme (my css modifications) is a bit broken at the moment, but I haven’t gotten around to fixing it yet.
