Hi everybody !

These are the codes I put in my play.php file used to implement the video display function with pligg. Aside from the youtube and google video links, I added also the possibility to add videos from myspace and zappinternet (spanish). I still have a problem to find the right coding to Dailymotion - Share Your Videos, the way the link their url to their swf player is a bit different, so if somebody has got dailymotion working in its videodisplay function, tell us what the right code is.

SO here's my code in play.php... all of them are working ! But I cannot fix dailymotion... please, if somebody knows..
--------------------------

function embed_video($url){
    if (preg_match("/http:\/\/video.google.com\/videoplay\?docid=([0-9\-]*)(.*)/i", $url, $matches)) {
        return '<object width="400" height="326">'.
			   '<embed src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId='.$matches[1].'" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="326" />'.
			   '</object>';
    }

	if (preg_match("/http:\/\/video.google.es\/videoplay\?docid=([0-9\-]*)(.*)/i", $url, $matches)) {
        return '<object width="400" height="326">'.
			   '<embed src="http://video.google.es/googleplayer.swf?docId='.$matches[1].'" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="326" />'.

    }
    if (preg_match("/http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch\?v=([0-9a-zA-Z\-\_]*)(.*)/i", $url, $matches)) {
        return '<object width="425" height="350">'.

               '</object>';
    }
	if (preg_match("/http:\/\/vids.myspace.com\/index.cfm\?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=([0-9a-zA-Z\-\_]*)(.*)/i", $url, $matches)) {

1.) Edited the 1st step submission template to include radio buttons - article or video. Then added an extra db column to pligg_links (link_type) and edited the store and read functions in libs/link.php to ensure that the value of the radio buttons was recorded / selected in the database. If video was selected, the value was 1, otherwise 0. Added link_type as a smarty variable in the same file.

2.) Edited link_summary.tpl using my newly created {$link_type eq 1} varaible to differentiate posts with videos in, and posts without. So if the value comes back as 1, a small video area with play button is displayed.

3.) Created a file called play.php to the root directory. I added an example below, and it needs the link id appended to the url to work:

<?php

include('libs/dbconnect.php');

$connect_video = @mysql_connect(EZSQL_DB_HOST, EZSQL_DB_USER, EZSQL_DB_PASSWORD);
$database_video = @mysql_select_db(EZSQL_DB_NAME, $connect_video);

$id = mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags($_GET['id']));
$play_query = mysql_query("SELECT link_votes,link_url FROM pligg_links WHERE link_id=\"$id\" AND (link_status='published' OR link_status='queued') AND link_type='1' LIMIT 1");
$play = mysql_fetch_array($play_query);
$play_url = $play['link_url'];
$votes = $play['link_votes'];

$close = @mysql_close($connect_video);
 
?>

<div>
<center>
<object width="425" height="350">
<param name="movie" value="<?php echo $play_url ?>"></param>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
<embed src="<?php echo $play_url ?>" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed>
</object>
<br /><br />
<b>Total Votes for this Video:</b> <?php echo $votes ?>
</center>
</div>

4.) Uploaded thickbox, and added the css and js files to the pligg.tpl template. Created a link to play the video (play.php) which included link id, height and width (eg. play.php?id={$link_id}&height=400&width=400), and gave it the attribute class="thickbox". When a user clicks on the link, the video will open in a digg-like window.

5.) Copied the index.php and upcoming.php and renamed to video.php and video-upcoming.php, and did the same with corresponding template files. Created a copy of (and renamed) libs/link_summary.php and edited to only show stories with a link type of 1 - just a simple condition like if($link->type == 1). Then edited the video templates with the renamed files, and that was that.

That's just a basic outline, i'm sure someone can take it and improve upon it.

Can you do this to my site? It's an awesome mod. The site is Pligg Beta 9 / Published News Let me know what your fee is.

The code in play.php to daily motion is:

 // code to display Daily Motion
   if (preg_match("/http:\/\/www.dailymotion.com\/swf\/([0-9a-zA-Z\-\_]*)(.*)/i", $url, $matches)) {
        return '<object width="400" height="316">'.
                        '<param name="movie" value="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/'.$matches[1].'" />'.
                        '<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />'.
                        '<embed src="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/'.$matches[1].'" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="316" allowfullscreen="true" />'.
                    '</object>';
    }

But for my part it doesn't work... With youtube and google.video I don't have any trouble all is ok, but for daily motion no... Somebody has an idea to resolv this problem

best regards

Hey Clems,

Looks like Dailymotion changed there short urls

Looking for a solution.

Or just copy the video url from the embed code under the movie

example

PHP Code:

<object width="425" height="252">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/2725G2ThlECwjllVj"></param>
<param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></param>
<embed src="[b]http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/2725G2ThlECwjllVj[/b]" 
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="252" allowfullscreen="true">
</embed>
</object> 


Copy
http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/2725G2ThlECwjllVj
and submit that url as a story. The only drawback is that it doesnt retreive the video name, you have to enter it manualy.

greets thuggster

Ok, it's the solution, but impossible to use with the RSS import, in the Dailymotion RSS the link is different. Bad luck...

An other problem with the RSS import is when I would like to use the RSS video google, the link is to long, more than 255 character... Somebody has an idea to resolv this problem ?

thanks
Clems

I think it is not recognizing the class="thickbox"? What do I do about that?

EDIT: It works now! :-D finally!

Hi How did you fix this?

I Fixed it... it wasn't referencing to thickbox. In the old instructions there was no reference to Thickbox.css for Link_summary.tpl...

Thanks Simon! It is a great addition to Pligg.
