Jaxel added a forums sidebar one in his mods page (just not a CMS one) i think it will be easyer for people to find
Good Work too :up::up:

[ngcoders]

Changed to CMS side bar.

[schlottkej]

[LouisB]

[WeMovie.co.uk]

The videos arent updating on the CMS...

[SunrunnerSWG]

This widget was a fantastic addition to my website. I appreciate your hard work!

How would I go about changing the widget so that it doesn't display a date or a username? I'd like to only display a thumbnail with a description.

[kho91]

[capy]

Is it possible to get only one clip from one user? That way if someone is uploading 4 clips the widget will only show the newest clip from that user and the 3 next clips will be from other users.

[capy]

Another thing. Is it possible to get the pictures side by side and having the text under the pictures?

[cloferba]

I'm having the same issue you are having with this CMS widget mod... Did everything exactly as said in directions on page one but same error message like yours keeps coming up.

[Mark4865]

Can someone please assist with this issue???

[Doganay YILDIZ]

hello
This plug-in , Can we change the subject instead of insvideo?

[Bob_R]

Up at the top of the instructions there is a link to a plug-in. I'm sorry it's been a long day. Do I need that plugin in addition to adding the code. :confused:

Also, how do the videos get inserted into the media? By the poster themselves or me as admin?

Thanks!! :)

[Mark4865]

Can someone who has this working in 4.1.1 PLEASE tell those asking how to get this mod to work

all help appreciated

[Mark4865]

going to sound really dumb but then you are working with a technical idiot here so understand before you laugh.

just noticed the plugin add on so I assume it only works with the plugin??

Need a recent video widget the works by drawing info from videos I created using embed code in static pages any ideas anyone

[Bob_R]

I asked the same question above (post #36) and a 2nd one. Waiting for answers.

3rd question. You know how when you embed a code on your site and youtube doesn't allow it to be viewed unless you go to youtube?

Would this not occur anymore since it's being added to a media library?

[BF777]

How does one get rid of the "php" logo to the left of "Latest Videos?"

[BorisPeace]

This is really great, though it seems a little off on my page.

Here is how it looks: http://i52.tinypic.com/dr9r8x.jpg

Is there a way to fix this?

[Vi3t4Lov3]

I really like the tag cloud on your demo. can you help me to make the tag move like that? please
thank you very much

[marccap]

Hello,

I have the same problem and yet I have the latest version. Thank you to want to do with this topic

Try amending the widget coding measurements. I amended the padding and margin from 5px to 4px and seem to fix the problem :eek:

$output = '
<style type="text/css">
.thumbnail img{
width: 90px;
height: 70px;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
padding: 5px;
margin: 5px;
float: left;

[rotor]
