WordPress MU

Hallo there,

This is one of those 'calls to the experts' / 'let's help each other' / begging things :)

Basically I want to be able to simply create mu-plugins to allow users to embed flash objects from various sites... the slideshare one was a great example, but how can I customise & renam that to allow, say, teachertube.

Oh mighty coding gurs... any help would be beyond appreciated.

Here's the slideshare code:

Here's the teachertube embed:

Here's me being overwhelmingly grateful at anyone who can help / point me in the right direction as to how I can fix it up!

Cheers, James

Look at it from the perspective of, "What are the common elements between these objects?"

You'll notice that the basics of it are width/height settings, and the file source.

Make a widget that accepts the required fields, then spits out the generic code with the fields placed as need be.

Someone bump this after 8:30pm US eastern time and I'll take a look at this tomorrow morning. I;'ve been added new video sites to my own wpmu install. not using the filter emthod but it should be too hard to do it this way.

Should be easy to add it to an existing video plugin too, like Anarchymedia. Hmmm..

It mostly involes looking (ie, reading the code. :D )

But Andrea, we all know James can't read! :D

Making this a sticky just so I won't forget it. I have to change locations after lunch.

Done. Up at wpmudev.org

http://wpmudevorg.wordpress.com/project/Teachertube.com-Video-Support

Format is [teachertube IDNumber]

Someone care to do me a favor and hop over to pornotube.com and grab the ebmed code for one of their videos? It's blocked from here and I can't view the site. I had a request for that as well.

I think a check for the mature flag is in order for that, don't you? ;)

Hope this helps,

The other thing is that wp.com lists the video options for what they support under a tab in the inline uploader. Anyone care to see about adding in a tab so that we can list out supported options?

Do also note that I'm looking for video sites to plugin. Feel free to suggest them:

Thanks drmike and farms2, etal.

Love the exploding barrel.
Can't find a good barrel, now I've got the video.

Hi, Dr Mike

Check out this one:

Farms, just following up. Did this work for you?

heh heh

A Google search for teachertube.com. Kind of funny to see the announcement listed so high so quickly.

And what's even funnier is that teachertube contacted me and wants to do a demo. :)

wow, i dont know how i missed this thread. it even has a porno tube reference!

this looks cool. i'll give it a try!

Must've got lost amongst the spam (I follow the whole forum feed) - sorry!

Good stuff, it worked a treat, but then they've come up with an ingenious AMP supported paste code themselves, take a look (bottom right):

http://www.teachertube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=bb2a95e79248486a5f6d

One day, when I have time, I'm actually going to take some classes in php :)

Farms, drop me an email and I'll pass along the email from teachertube. I'd rather have them use your site as a demo since you're teacher involved. :)

Doesn't that code just link to it?

If someone would kindly get me a demo URL from pronotube along with the embed code that would go along with it *HINT!* *HINT!*, I'll write up a plugin for that as well. I don't dare pull up the site from here.

is there a plugin for heavy.com?
if i use the embeded code on wordpress.com, it can display the video without a problem.
i use the same code on wpmu and everything is stripped of.
right now, i just go to the database and add it on the post itself.

I hate it when sites use 'wordpress' and they mean only specifically 'wordpress.com'

I don't have a way to do it since they use an md5 embed code in there and I don't see where they're getting it from.

Hmm, I guess we could hard code the embedid code and see if that works.

I so much want this on my blog :)

http://www.heavy.com/video/3960

Gone to see what I can do.

edit: They're on wp.com. That's why the code over there works:

Re embeded code in blogs.
I have managed to use embeded code from Blip tv, grouper, jumpcut, slideshare, vSocial, youtube, I'm still trying out other video site's.
I used the vPIP plugin (http://vpip.org/home/vpip-wordpressmu-installation/)in my mu pligins folder,
Then I added the this into the head of the theme I am testing on.

<script src="http://[url where vPIP was uploaded to]/vpip.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<style type="text/css" media="all">@import "http://[url where vPIP was uploaded to]/vPIPBox.css";</style>
<script src="http://[url where vPIP was uploaded to]/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://[url where vPIP was uploaded to]/vpipit.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

All I do is add the embedded code from whatever site and put straight into the code section in writing a post,
I have managed to get success doing things this way, rathere than using the vPip box, to generate the code.
