'FV WordPress Flowplayer' shortcodes

  • I’d like to know if there’s a relatively easy way (I’m not a coder) to modify the wootumblog plugin so that it allows one to use the FV Flowplayer plugin shortcodes for embedding videos. Right now if I try to insert, e.g., [flowplayer src=’example.flv’ width=640 height=480], in the Tumblog ‘Embed Code’ field, the raw text is displayed on the published page.

    Also, is there any chance that you’d consider implementing this modification in the plugin? One reason worth considering it is that Flowplayer recently released a new version that provides an excellent universal player–i.e., install the FV plugin, insert the shortcode in a post, and videos not only play successfully in all browsers (including mobile) but also have the same look and feel.

  • That’s not even close to how the plugin currently works. There’s a function within wootumblog_helper_functions.php called woo_tumblog_embed() which gets the video embed code from a custom field in the wootumblog quickpress template

    Flowplayer uses its own embed function and works directly with the video URL, so in order for this to work as you’d like a new custom field would need to be included in quickpress (i.e. video url) and then a new function written to take that URL and compose the Flowplayer embed code.

    An easier/quicker route would be to look at one of the many oEmbed plugins out there and see if that could be adapted to suit the FV plugin. You’d stand a better chance of finding someone else who’s achieved this on a standard wordpress site rather than waiting for a solution to appear from woothemes.
