Flashvars overwrite not working

  • Hi,

    I really like pb-embedflash plugin for its great functionality. However, why can’t I get flashvars overwrites to work? is it because I’m using WPMU? The setting was saved in the configuration place, but it’s not being implemented in the page.

    Hopefully someone can help me. Thanks.

  • From the WPMU-FAQ:

    Do plugins work?

    Plugins work just like in regular WordPress, they can be activated and deactivated on a per-blog level. We have something extra called “mu-plugins” which auto-executes any PHP file in that directory, like plugins that are enabled by default. Most plugins work, but some that modify core tables or create tables of their own in the DB might have difficulties, depending on how they’re coded. Best way to find out is to test!
    So pb-embedFlash should work on per-blog basis. But it writes all settings into the wp_options table – so flashvars, too. There could be issues regarding this.

    As of I don’t use WPMU and I don’t have an installation of it, I cannot say more, sorry!

    The plugin does work on per-blog base, however the setting that I put in flashvar section in option->pb-embedflash is not shown in the page. Everything else does work though. Here’s my case. I want so that the height of the JW FLV Media Player is 600, but the displayheight is 400, so what I did is to set the height to be 600, and the displayheight in flashvar section to be 400. However, but shown in the page is only player height to be 600, but the displayheight was not changed, resulting in oversize player.
    Well….hopefully anyone can enlighten me, I’m using WPMU though.
    Pasber, do you suggest that I put the plugin in mu-plugin folder? what affect it will create to my blog installation (as far as table in db, etc) other than the plugin will be available to all blogs?

    Thanks.

    As said before, I don’t know much about WPMU. If you need the Plugin in all/the most of your blogs, it would be easier for updating and managing the plugin if putting it into mu-plugins.

    I cannot recreate the error without WPMU installed, but I think it’s a saving or reading issue.

    Are the saved values displayed in the settings again?
    Are other values like default display mode (object tag, Flashbox, …), default height, etc. saved?
    Do these other values work on your blog post (e.g. height)?
    -> Are only flashvars involved in this “bug”?
