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.

So basically the user enters a video link in a post and its automaticly displayed as the actual embedded video.

vBlog [1.0.0 to 1.0.3]
vbAdvanced [3.0 RC2]

Thank you!

has anyone reported a database lockup when installing this mod? When I added the .xml to my includes folder the joker locked my data base up? I removed the .xml and the database opened up and seems to be running ok? I couldn't even get into my admin area...

suggestions?

did u put it in your includes/xml folder. Also the current version has been downloaded about 3,500 times and i haven't read about anyone's database locking up. Can you re-produce the bug?

[okhissabigfish]

I FTP the "bitfield_passivevid.xml" into the includes/xml folder.

I loaded the product-passivevid.xml in the typical method. Never got a chance to do anything else cause the data base was sending me an error message.

Should I try again and try and capture the error message?

I have done this and its a great improvement but it aligns the video to the left (instead of keeping it centred). Can this be fixed in the next version?

Edit: I got it working like a champ now! I do have one other question though... How do I get the text at the top of the video screen to not show the URL of the video? Explain?

Thank you...nice mod!

v2.0 gets the titles.

[okhissabigfish]

Can someone explain "custom replacement" in the Admin? or is that too involved and not important?

One of the simplest, yet best mods we have ever installed. Much thanks.
