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?

    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 ?

    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!

    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.

    Can I change the skin? Is there a way I can style to external border, et al?

    Thanks!

    Is there a way I can style the external border? (sorry for the typo)

    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.
