pb-embedFlash: Adding attributes in the media manager

  • I am uploading my .flv files & posterframe .jpgs using a separate FTP client, then ‘adding medium’ with the dashboard admin panel. Can I use the attributes box to change features of just that movie, overiding the default settings? For example, I have a default logo set to go over the movie. How would i change the logo just for the one movie? I have tried entering the following into the attributes box:

    logo=https://www.mydomain.com/myfile.flv

    and I have also tried

    f={logo=https://www.mydomain.com/myfile.flv}

    Am I going down the wrong path here? I am new to the whole FlashVars thing as well! It just always goes to the default logo.

    Also, is there any way I can upload media using the pb-embedFlash admin panel? It would be nice to just have the one step to add & embed movies.

    Thanks

  • Uploading is not implemented yet. And won’t be in the future I think. It’s too much work for me because I haven’t done file uploads via HTTP/PHP yet.
    You could use WordPress’ upload functions and then add the medium, it would be just one or two more clicks.

    To the logo thing: It should work with the flashvar logo, but in your example, you are using a flv-file as logo… I don’t know if this is possible, I’d expect an image there.

    Anyways, there seems to be an error with the replacing rules (global < medium < tag). I’ll take a look on it this evening or tomorrow.

    Thanks for the quick reply! Sorry, that was my mistake referencing an .flv file in my code example! I am using .png files. Thanks for looking into it. So in the attributes box, should I be entering the full flashvar text (f={logo=path}) or just the variable itself (logo=path)?

    Thanks again!

    As you mention WordPress’s upload feature, I think I may have a glitch in my 2.6 version. The only way for me to upload files to my media library is from the formatting bar when I create a post. Some people seem to refer to an upload feature when they are actually in their media library? (manage>media library>manage media)

    This seems the best place to have it, as I can upload files in the media library and add any attributes, then they will be available when I come to insert the media into my post. As it is, I have to create a post, upload my media from the formatting bar, exit from my post into my media library, edit the media, then go back creating a post. Too many steps!

    This nothing to do with pb-embedFlash I know, but do you think I am missing a function from my media library page?

    Sorry for no response… Too few free time at the moment. :/

    Actually, I don’t use the WordPress media manager. So I cannot help on topics on it, sorry! But I don’t have an upload button (or similar) in Manage -> Media, too, if that helps… >_>

    An update to pb-embedFlash will be available by next week. This will fix the logo issue.
