      Video Plus - Embed Videos from Popular Web Hosts

      The latest version of Video Plus will automatically embeds videos from popular video hosting sites onto your website. A thumbnail appears next to articles that submit a supported website. When a user clicks on that thumbnail it pops up an ajax box with an embedded video. The embedded video and thumbnail are automatically inserted into your post by analyzing the url submitted in Submit Step 1. This module makes it SUPER EASY to let your users post videos to your Pligg website. Since users do NOT have to paste in embed code at any point you are making it easier for them, and more secure for your site.

      If you are interested in adding additional video hosts to this module please read my second post which details how this module works. As mentioned in that post, not all video hosts are going to be compatible with this module.

      Please consider making a donation if you use this module on your website so that we can continue to provide free modules like this one. Our goal is to raise $500 for this module in a years time. You can use the Chipin widget to the left to make a donation. Keep in mind that we could have kept this module as a Pligg Pro shop item and sold it, but we were hoping that donations would cover the cost of developing this module.

      Why did I choose Lightview?
      Quite simply, it was probably the best option for displaying multimedia content in a lightbox. Most of the other choices were either limited in their features or had the same problem with audio not stopping when you closed the ajax box. There were some other choices that all cost a lot more to run them legimately on your site, but I think that $4 USD is a fair price for something that will enhance your site. I suggest you try it out before buying though just to make sure that it does indeed work and doesn't break your site if you are using other javascript on your web page. This includes websites using the Wistie category dropdown menu on IE6 which requires jQuery.

      If you are interested in trying this version out just grab the Video_Plus + Lightview file attached to this thread. I will not be providing any additional documentation than what is currently provided with the module since it is a commercial script that doesn't support me in any way. I suggest that you check out the documentation provided on the Lightview homepage for help. Please remember though that the original author is not responsible for supporting this Pligg module.

      28. youtube.com


      Installation Instructions:

      1. Download the .zip attachment
      2. Unzip it to your computer.
      3. Upload the /modules folder into your Pligg root. This will add 2 Pligg modules to your site, Lightview and Video Plus.
      4. Navigate to Admin > Modules and install the Lightview module
      5. After installing Lightview install the Video Plus module.
      6. From now on when someone submits a url in submit step 1 from a website that this module supports, it will automatically add an image that users can click on that will pop up an embedded video.
      7. Mark as Installed to receive an email or private message when an update is released.

      Requirements:

      Lightview Module version 0.2 or above
      This is included with the Video Plus download. Lightview is needed for the video popup javascript effect. If you want you can use another javascript library to popup the videos, but you will need to remove the requirement line from /modules/video_plus/video_plus_install.php and customize the /modules/video_plus/templates/video_plus_index.tpl file so that it fits your alternate javascript style.

      Other Notes:

      If a thumbnail-supported URL is entered into submit step 1, thumbnails should be automatically be displayed in your template. Youtube offers a total of 4 static images that can be used to insert into your template. We have assigned all 4 images as template variables that you can use in your link_summary.tpl or video_plus_index.tpl files. Below are examples of each of the template tags followed by a brief description.
      1. <img src="{$video_thumbnail_large}" /> produces the one and only large 320x240 pixel thumbnail
      2. <img src="{$video_thumbnail}" /> produces the first 120x90 pixel thumbnail
      3. <img src="{$video_thumbnail_2}" /> produces the second 120x90 pixel thumbnail
      4. <img src="{$video_thumbnail_3}" /> produces the third 120x90 pixel thumbnail

      Example thumbnails from in the same order as shown above:





      ----------------------

      Examples:

      You can also take a look at the attached screenshots that demonstrate what an activated video popup looks like and what a story page looks like when a large Youtube thumbnail is displayed.

      Changelog:

      Version 1.2

      • Added Funnyordie.com.
      • Removed an extra double-quote ( " ) in the template file.
      • The module will now use Lightview instead of jQuery. It seems to be a more popular solution, but please remember to donate to the Lightview author.

      Version 1.1

      • Added Redtube.com and Keezmovies.com, including screenshot thumbnails.

      Version1.0

      • Added own3d.tv, including screenshot thumbnails.

      Version 0.9

      • CNN and Reuters updates. Both services have slightly changed URLs. The video thumbnail will also now only apply to CNN and Reuters video pages, not their normal articles that don't contain any videos.

      Version 0.8

      • Youtube now autoplays. Added IceFilms.

      Version 0.7

      • Added video thumbnails for Metacafe and Vimeo. Each site that offers thumbnails handles it in a different way so they don't match the Youtube 3 thumbnail option.

      Version 0.6

      • Added CNN.com, CBSnews.com and JumpCut.com

      Version 0.5 (updated jQuery module too)

      • Added Reuters.com, TheNewsRoom.com, ColbertNation.com, ComedyCentral.com and TheDailyShow.com.
      • Updated version number
      • Added homepage and update url to install script. Please reinstall module to see changes on module admin page.

    Code:
    	 // code to display ebaumsworld.com 
    	 
        if (preg_match("/http:\/\/www.ebaumsworld.com\/video\/watch\/([0-9\-]*)", $url, $matches)) {
            return '<embed src="http://www.ebaumsworld.com/player.swf" allowScriptAccess="always" flashvars="pageurl=http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/'.$matches[1].'/&file=http://media.ebaumsworld.com/mediaFiles/video/([0-9\-]*)/'.$matches[1].'.flv&mediaid='.$matches[1].'" wmode="transparent" loop="false" menu="false" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="425" height="345" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></embed>'
    		;
        }
    finally figured this out myself. yank in your "add video hosts" instructions you left out that you need to add the urls of the video hosts to the tpl template files video_plus_index.tpl and video_plus_end.tpl

    I'm currently having a problem with the Video Plus plugin on Adversational - Adversational: The Most Talked About TV Commericals, Decided by You - when I first arrive on the page everything appears as normal but, after a few seconds, *every single video* begins autoplaying. The videos don't appear anywhere (assuming they're still hidden in their lightbox divs as they're playing).

    How do I prevent the youtube clips from auto-playing upon arriving on the page?

    @jamesmspacey

    Trying different browsers while trying to track down the auto-play issue, I'm finding that it only happens on Google Chrome; when using IE and Firefox I don't seem to have that problem.

    @jamesmspacey - are you using a WebKit browser like Safari or Google Chrome when the problem happens for you?
