Great Plugin.

Any thoughts about what might have happened?

After following the coding progression on this carefully, I finally got it to work.

This is an awesome plugin, though use at your own risk. lol May take 2-3 days for novices to install. That’s me!

FF3 and flash are having a battle of not talking with each other to figure out the flash issues with the browser. Basically Adobe is not really talking, to get the issue resolved.

Thanks to Jason, and ivan and freakery

Would this be a simple fix to get the plugin to work using this method?

Thanks!

and i am still getting a problem and displaying the message as i have quoted above .. can you tell me a solution for this

Thanks
Ram

cheers

Why?

I messed some of the explanation up badly. Let me clarify:

Where I said, “so all I should have to do is change that to start with “[" (first character of the end code) and end with [/youtube].”

I should have said, “so all I should have to do is change his shortcodes to start with [youtube] or [googlevideo] and end with “[” which is the first character of the closing shortcode.

Sorry about the confusion.

However, I’ve got a question. First, let me say I am no programmer or developer, and only tinker. I have no real understanding of php, but I’m learning (slowly).

I am fine using your short code of [youtube:url], but for a long time I’ve been using Viper’s Video Quick tags to embed videos into a post, and…for what it does, it’s great because you don’t have to remember codes. It puts buttons on the editor for YouTube and Google Video (and others). Click on the button, there’s a popup and you just paste in the URL. The generated syntax of the short code it uses are [youtube]url[/youtube] (same for Google).

So, I thought I’d be cute and see if I couldn’t make your plugin work Viper’s. (So, I understand if you’re not interested in helping with this…don’t worry about it.) So I’m thinking, OK, in his code, somewhere he set’s a parameter for your shortcode, so all I should have to do is change that to start with “[" (first character of the end code) and end with [/youtube]. Leave the rest of the code intact and it’ll work. Of course, it didn’t. I’m sure that doesn’t surprise you.

I changed line 74 to read: $regex = ‘/\[(youtube|googlevideo)](.*?)[/i';

Line 105 to read: $regex = '/\[youtube](.*?)[/i';

Line 138 to read: $regex = '/\[googlevideo](.*?)[/i’;

When it attempts to run, I get, in the article an error on line 106 and 139…again, something I’m sure you would expect.

Anyway, if you can quit laughing at my programming ignorance, and are so inclined, any direction would be great (it’s just a fun thing to do, and the way i’m trying to learn). Not critical, since you way works just fine for the purposes I need.

Thanks again for a great plugin.
