hi. Thanks for plugin
perfect.
best regards
Running WP 2.6, just tried to activate the plugin and I received this error:
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/chase12/public_html/wp-content/plugins/video-bracket-tag/wp-video.php on line 14
Thank you for this.
It is quite unfortunate. The plugin worked fine for you on 2.5.x? What version of PHP do you have? This error is often around on PHP 4 when code is written for PHP 5. I use objects and unfortunately the private/public/protected variable notices are all very finicky and don’t work on PHP 4.
If you would like I can change it to work on PHP4, I think.
This was a PHP4 issue and Chase has taken to using PHP5 instead =)
This is a really cool plug in
Today my wordpress admin panel showed that a new version (2.3.1) of your plugin is available. I ran the update, but wordpress said it couldn’t reactivate Video Bracket Tags.
I think you made a mistake packaging your version. The archive contains the following folders “/video-bracket-tag/WP Videos/”. The folder “WP Videos” is too much. It breaks the automated updates…
Thank you for the catch, I have updated the plugin and retagged it as well. Please let me know if there are any further issues =)
Great plugin!I used the «Wordpress Video Plugin» before this, but now that YouTube has gone 16:9, I found it somewhat dissatisfying.
I was wondering though, if it is possible to set 16:9 as standard for all (YouTube-)videos? And is it possible to get the fullscreen-button that you get if you use the embed-code from YouTube?
I may be able to pull this off, but it will lead to a very complicated interface. If that is what the community wants i will gladly update it, but without the support of the masses i dont think it is a good idea. Maybe i can create a second version of the plugin that you can toggle to?
Thoughts?
That would be great, but you shouldn’t make a plugin just for me, that’s just waste of time. :p
Maybe more like a suggestion for possible features of versions to come, if other people than me express interest for it?
