NFB Video Plugin – Woot finished my plugin!
WARNING : Currently only for NFB (National Film Board of Canada) and Vimeo. As more video sites add oEmbed to their sites and allow auto-discovery, you can use their URLs too.
Woot! Okay, so I finally finished the first version of my plugin. It’s for the National Film Board of Canada, so it’s not hosted with me, but I’ll give you the links you need for it!
Firstly, if you want to download the zip, you’ll find it here.
Basically how it works, you extract it to your plugins directory on your WordPress, activate it, then in settings, you can modify the width/height and let the plugin know if you want to show title/author/provider of the video.
To use it. You post a URL of a film page from http://www.nfb.ca/ or from http://www.vimeo.com/ and the plugin will read the URL when you load the post. It should not mess with URL’s in a link and links without oembed will not try to show the video.
Will be presenting at Wordcamp Montreal 2009.
