You can now also put two video galleries on the same page if you want to.

    Does this work with 2.8.4?

    Yes, I was able to get it running on 2.8.4.

    I activated the plugin and put in my vodpod username and everything and put in the [Insert Video Gallery] in the “Videos” page, and I get these errors:

    Warning: fopen() [function.fopen]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /nfs/c04/h01/mnt/61161/domains/seattlemetrowrestling.com/html/wp-content/plugins/vodpod-video-gallery/vodpod_gallery.php on line 196

    Sarah,

    The problem is that you do not have allow_url_open enabled.
    This can often be fixed by creating a file in your public_html folder (or whatever your root directory is) called php.ini and adding the line:

    allow_url_fopen = On

    Let me know if that works.

    Sarah,

    Download the newest version of the plugin. I’ve changed it so it no longer uses fopen. So hopefully this will fix your problem.

    can I use this with self hosted videos?

  7. xondie Says:

    Carlos, the plugin only works with vodpod. So if you can get your videos into a vodpod account, then you can use this plugin. I think vodpod only needs embed code to recognize a video.

    Hey Xondie,

    Did you figure out the “blink” on loading? (earlier ?) It seems your examples don’t flash an empty screen any longer… would love know the fix.
    thanks,
    Derek

    Hi Derek – No, I haven’t had a chance to look into that.

    Hi Xondie,

    Awesome plugin! I had it running fine on my site and then I had the db nuked and had to set up the site again. I already went through the allow_url_fopen = On thing once to get the videos to work, but now I am getting the same error and I have the ini file with the correct settings. I didn’t change a thing on my server except I had to reinstall WordPress and rebuild the site. I am using v3.0 of your plugin. Is there something that I am missing? Thanks.

    -Scott

    Scott,

    There seems to be something very strange happening on your video gallery page. View source and do a search for “$vodpod_user”. For some reason the php code is not getting translated and there is some “urchinTracker” code being inserted in the html.

    Not sure if this will fix the problem with file_get_contents but it might be related.

    Hi,
    Is it working with a youtube account ?

  13. xondie Says:

    Shuyvenaar,

    This plugin only works with a Vodpod account. It does not work with a YouTube account. You can use YouTube videos by adding them to your Vodpod video account.

    hi, could you tell me if it is possible to run multiple instances of the same collection, just with different tag “subsets”…? if that makes sense.

    basically i’m trying to organize videos (from the same collection) by tag into multiple areas on the page.

    the problem i’m running into is, for example: instance 2 is loading/playing it’s video’s in the instance 1 player.

    is the issue that it is only generating one collection ID per collection name to load the videos into? so if there is a second instance of the same collection with a different “subset” of videos, it is going to load them into the first ID? sorry if i’m confusing you.

    Hi Corinjoel,

    It sounds like you’ve uncovered a bug, related to a similar bug that I fixed recently. The good news is it’s still fresh in my mind so I should be able to get that fixed for you fairly quickly. If not tomorrow (Thursday 3/11) then this weekend.

    Thanks for letting me know!

  16. xondie Says:
    March 14th, 2010 at 2:52 am

    Corinjoel – I fixed that bug. Download the latest update from today and you’ll be able to put multiple galleries on the same page which use the same collection but different tags.

  20. xondie Says:

    All the styles for the plugin are in one file gallery.css. Any styles not found in there are coming from your theme. You should be able to style any aspect of the plugin by changing the plugin css or adding to it.

    Hey Xondie, awesome plugin, thank you so much for you’re hard work.

    I had the plug in working completely fine for months until a week back when I had a similar problem to Sarah with the file-get-contents thing. I thought nothing had changed on the server and definitely nothing had happened to the wordpress set up. I just tried the php.ini file solution and that seems to have halfed fixed it, the video player now loads with the latest video in it, but as you may be able to see:

    http://www.thefunnyfarm.com/video-galley/

    The video thumbnails at the bottom are still having the file-get-contents problem. Any idea how to fully fix this?

    Any help would be gratefully received!

    Kind regards,
    Kev

    Hey, any chance someone could have a look at the above?

  24. xondie Says:
    April 28th, 2011 at 10:01 pm

    Kevstah,

    I’ve been looking into it but I’m having no luck. And actually, the iframe has been the source of numerous problems for users over the life of this plugin.

    I’ve been wanting to rewrite this plugin for a long time so that it does not use the iframe anymore. I’m going to do that this weekend. I’m hopeful that I can get it done this weekend but I can’t say for sure how long it will take.

    By the way, Kevstah, I sent you an email in response to your problem, asking you a few questions, but I didn’t hear back.

  25. Kevstah Says:
    May 4th, 2011 at 8:37 pm

    oh, sorry Xondie, I didn’t see it, must have gone into my spam filter. I have been away for about 4 days as well. I will have a look now! Look forward to seeing the latest release, and again, very grateful for the plugin as it has been extremely useful for the website!

    I haven’t finished the changes yet but I am actively working on it. It’s taking longer than I realized but I think it’s going to be WAY better for everyone. No more iframes!

    Hey Xondie, which email did you send it too? I can’t find it :/ Thats great news though. absolute star!

    With the new version, none of this should matter anymore. But in case you’re interested in still trying to get it to work in the meantime, here is what I said:

    I’ve looked for more info about this issue and I don’t see anything else besides the php.ini file solution. I do remember from a while back that I had to try different locations in the file system before I got it to work. You might try moving it to different locations and seeing if it makes any difference.
    root directory
    wp-contents
    plugins
    vodpod-video-gallery

    Also, can you tell me what exactly is in your php.ini file? I noticed that I have some conflicting instructions throughout the comments in a couple of places and want to make sure you’ve got the right thing.

  29. xondie Says:
    May 12th, 2011 at 1:42 pm

    Kevstah,

    Someone with the same problem as you just fixed it by loosening the permissions on his .htaccess file. I have no idea why that would make a difference, but I thought you might try it.

    I am still working on the rewrite of the plugin, but it could be another week or two (I only really have time on the weekends to make progress on it). So you might want to try adjusting your .htaccess file permissions to see if that fixes it in the meantime.

  30. Kevstah Says:
    June 20th, 2011 at 6:03 pm

    Hey Xondie, thanks for the replies. I can email you a copy of the php.ini? Also, do you mean the read write permissions on the file itself? (probably sounds like a stupid question…) I had a look inside the htaccess file and feel a little out of my depth. Would anyone happen to have instructions?

    Muchas Gracias,
    Kev x
