Description:

This is unlike my past video mod which used bbcode, this one is more simple and works much better for the user too. What it does it parses the url when the post is viewed, so it will work with past links and new links.

Installed. So far it works perfectly. Haven't had any feedback from the forum members yet though, hopefully they don't run in to the same problem.

im working on a title fetching solution, its more complex than i though it was going to be. Might be a week for two before i have enough spare time to finish it.

[MrMoolz]

I've installed it and it works great! Thanks a bunch.

One question and it's because I'm a newbie but how do I get to the passiveVID Settings screen in my admin CP? I can't seem to find it like it's displayed in the linked image above. I got to the "Manage Products" and Edit on passiveVID but I don't see the PV's control panel.

Thanks.

EDIT: Another newbie question. There are 6 .zip files for this mod. I unzipped the first one and installed the files in there to my site. Are all the .zips linked or do I have to install each one?

[jimjam]

I think you should just install the latest. I am sure that qll those zip files are older versions of the mod.

How about support for Yahoo Canada videos?

Here's an example link I'd love for the embed to work on:

Hi Sorry for the bump. I really like this mod, but cannot activate it until I get to the bottom of the problem I outlined earlier. Anyone any ideas?

Thanks in anticipation

This is the particular thread that they cannot access when the mod is active


This is the post that wont open for some users (only a few) when the mod is turned on

You only need to download and install only one of the .zip files. Hopefully the highest numbered, which is the latest version. The others files are older versions.
