[Plugin: Video Thumbnails] Support for custom post types

Harald,

I’ve had someone else request support custom post types, and I plan on adding it pretty soon.

As far as using a custom field goes, it might be a little bit longer (when I add support I’ll need to make sure it’s flexible enough to work with other fields people might use), but I’ll be happy to piece something together for your particular setup.

Check back or remind me after the next update and I’ll help you out!

Hey sutherlandboswell,

thanks for reply. Custom field support is not that important… but custom post type support. Thanks in advance

If you’d like a quick solution, you can find the line add_meta_box("video_thumbnail", "Video Thumbnail", "video_thumbnail_admin", "post", "side", "low"); and underneath it add add_meta_box("video_thumbnail", "Video Thumbnail", "video_thumbnail_admin", "video", "side", "low");

I should have an update out in a few hours to take care of it for good.

Thank you, You’re the man. I’ll take a Look.

Version 1.6 (appearing shortly) adds support for custom post types, give it a shot and let me know how it goes!

I have just updated to version 1.6 1 hour ago, and it is displaying the viper video tags in the post excerpt. It is still correctly displaying the thumbnail image. Can we fix this please.

Here is a screenshot, as i am testing locally.

Has it always shown the tags? What version did you upgrade from? This doesn’t seem like something being caused by Video Thumbnails, as it shouldn’t be doing anything to the excerpt.

Has anything else changed recently?

Hey Sutherland,

for me, it’s working like a charm. Haven’t tried yet, but is there support for custom fields also? Nevermind, if not.

Thanks

Ok, took a try with custom fields. Not working yet. After thinking about it, I came to the conclusion, that it’s not needed – yet. I use the custom fields for all the other stuff. The editor-field is just another one to be filled…

Glad to hear custom post types are working for you. If you ever decide to start using custom fields for the embed codes, send me an email and I’ll help you out.
