You can put text above and below your gallery now. It used to be broken in that it would not display anything other than the video gallery, but it’s fixed now.

See? You can put text below as well.

    Hi - really nice! Quick question - when you click on a thumbnail - the page loads at the bottom - or rather it goes to the bottom and I have to scroll back to the top - any way to fix this issue?

  2. xondie Says:

    Hm. I’ll have to look into this. That doesn’t happen on my browser. Could you tell me which browser you are using?

  3. Josh Says:

    I’m using safari…

  4. xondie Says:

    Ah, I see what you mean. I’ll see about getting that fixed. If not today, then I’ll fix it Sunday. Thanks for letting me know!

  5. joe Says:

    Does it work with the newest version of wordpress? Or rather, version 2.5? I tried to implement it and got an error, so I deactivated it.

    thanks.

  6. xondie Says:

    This blog is 2.5. I also have it running on WordPress-MU and also 2.3.3 (running on IIS).

  7. xondie Says:

    Josh, I believe I have fixed the issue of the page jumping to the bottom when you click on a thumbnail.

    Known outstanding items still left to do:
    1 - replace some string-replace hackiness with regex
    2 - fix a bug where videos with certain characters in the description don’t load properly via their javascript call

  8. xondie Says:

    OK, I fixed some outstanding bugs.

    1 - I removed some very hacky string replace function calls in favor of using regex. Most of the blatant hackiness is now gone from this plugin.

    2 - The bugs I was seeing with certain description text is now fixed.

    Let me know if anyone finds any problems with it and I’ll fix them as soon as I can.

    Could you possibly the more conventional arrow with page numbers at the bottom? It’s not good usability to have people clicking through the arrows with no idea of how many pages there are in the set, so this would be a great improvement I think.

    Just something like the typical…

    …would be wonderful!

  10. Jeff MacArthur Says:

    OK, so I made the first typo but I guess my example got take out b/c it thought it was html :-) .

    So, could you possibly incorporate the more conventional arrows with page numbers at the bottom…

    [left arrow] Previous 1 2 3 4 5 Next [right arrow]

    Thanks!

    Jeff

  11. xondie Says:

    Jeff - That makes a lot of sense. Thank you for the suggestion. I’ve put it on my to-do list. It will probably be next week before I am able to work on this.

  12. xondie Says:

    Jeff, I haven’t forgotten about your request. We have been very busy with some client website work (which is great) and haven’t had a chance.

  13. xondie Says:

    OK, Jeff, I finally added pagination to the plugin. Let me know if this suits your needs. You can see it in action in the video gallery examples here.

    It may need a more fancy system for galleries with many many pages to have something like 1 2 3 …. 99 100, but I think I’ll leave it simple until someone needs something more sophisticated. I think this will work for the vast majority.

    hallo xondie,
    simple and powerfull module
    now i can create a video gallery in minutes
    really thanks
    my quesstion is how to make a video gallery on this example page? what code u use?

  15. xondie Says:

    Hi Beracun,

    I’m not exactly sure what you mean by your question. On this example page, the gallery is added in the usual way according to the instructions. This is a WordPress site so I installed the WordPress module and then added [Insert Video Gallery videojazz] in the content and it showed up.

    Hello,

    I am having pagination problem.. for my site pls let me know what to do for that..

    thanks

  18. xondie Says:

    Harshal - What is the url to get to your video gallery?

  19. Eve Says:

    Hello Xondie,
    Thanks for your great plug-in - i love that it looks cool, functions nicely and you can have vids from multiple hosts.
    One question: The top “featured” / big video isn’t always loading in my site. Sometimes it helps to dump the cache and refresh, but sometimes it will continue to show only the lower thumbnails.
    I am donating now, please help thanks,

  20. pandora battery Says:

    Nice plugin! Is there a way to make the video load with having to click it?

  21. xondie Says:

    Hi Eve,

    I’ve notice that happen on occasion as well. I don’t know this for sure, but I think this results when the connect to vodpod is slow for some reason. So it doesn’t get the data back for the main video before the page loads with the html. You’re the first one to mention it so I hadn’t worried about it. Now that I know others are seeing this behavior as well, I’ll try to see if there is something I can do about it. I am open to anyone’s suggestions/ideas.

  22. xondie Says:

    pandora - Thanks for writing. Glad you like the plugin!

    It’s theoretically possible to change some PHP code and make the main video autoplay when you first load the page. But it isn’t a feature that is built into the current plugin that can be changed with configuration or anything like that.

  23. Korhan Says:

    Is this plugin compatible with wp 2.7.x

  24. xondie Says:

    Yes, I have tested it on 2.7.x

  25. x0x0 Says:

    nice plugin, i’m using it. i just have a quick question.. my website’s background is blue.. is there any way to change the gallery bg color to something else other than white?

  26. xondie Says:

    x0×0 - So glad the plugin is working out for you. If you know CSS, you can change any of the colors you wish in gallery.css. I think if you search for background-color (I think) you should find it pretty easily.

  27. Asaf Says:

    Awesome plugin! just started using it.

    just one question: is it any way to show the direct link for the video?
    I mean, not the javascript one, but a link that the users could access the video directly, and won’t have to browse the entire gallery to watch it.

    Thanks a lot for this one!

    Asaf.

  28. xondie Says:

    Asaf - I think this is a very good idea. I will implement it when I get a chance. Not sure when that will be though.
