This plugin is ace
Maybe i can provide an advanced switch where everyone else can stick to the standard interface and it can be toggled to allow the customization that you are looking for.
Hi, I’m using Wordpress 2.7 and when I tried activating the installed plugin, I got this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/admor0/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-video.php on line 14
Have any idea what it could be?
I have the same 2.4.1 VBT and 2.7 WP installed. Can you email me your copy of the plugin? maybe try updating your version again? it may have corrupted.
I was so excited, then:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/content/k/u/i/kuiper/html/wp-content/plugins/video-bracket-tag/wp-video.php on line 14
I just set up a new database yesterday php 5.0
is it because of the theme?
the features look fab.
Are you sure you are using PHP v. 5.0? I know there were issues with the code working on pre 5.0 servers, but i may have to put some time into figuring out what version of php it is actually dependent on. The line it refers to, assuming you have not done any changes, is the array of supported clients. Maybe there is simply an issue with your current install. Change the version number with the built in editor to something before 2.4.1 and redo the install using wordpress’s built in updater.
I will be around to help you through it tomorrow morning PST
I successfully installed the plugin and video embeds perfectly. However, I can’t change any video values under options > configure videos.
I’m trying to get rid of the border around the vid but it keeps resetting to the default values. I even changed the code in the PHP file but no luck. Any advice?
Hmm, that could be a number of issues, but primarily i would ask you to walk me through what it displays to you. I have the exact same version of the plugin on this site and i just spent 20 mins testing the settings and they appear to be fine. I would suggest you dont jump into the PHP end of things without an understanding of the language, but you shouldnt need to edit the border and so forth there.
Is it not saving or is it throwing errors at you or what?
I’m getting the same error as everyone else:
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 /hermes/bosweb/web279/b2798/sl.cliveyou/public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/video-bracket-tag/wp-video.php on line 14
I tried lowering the version number to 2.3.0, but that didn’t change anything (not sure why it would but I’m no programmer). Any ideas?
As has been covered previously, this is related to your PHP install. I spent a good couple weeks trying to reproduce it on my own servers, but was unable to do so. I am fairly sure it has to do with PHP4 being used but that is not always the case. Please PM me on AIM / Gtalk or one of the others and i will gladly work with you to get this plugin working.
