Video Embedding feature

[Sunil]

Hi Everyone!

I installed cnprog today and played with it. Its an awesome product. I
want to thank everyone who is involved for pulling this off :)

I am a python developer but new to django (so doing some learning) and
would like to contribute to the product. There is one enhancement that
I need for the website I am planning. The enhancement is that user
should be able to embedd a video like he is able to embed an image
today.

Just wanted to check if anyone has tried to add this functionality or
added this functionality ? so that I dont rework on this one!

Any idea what could be challenges in adding this functionality?

you'll need to investigate how video can be embedded with markdown.

also, editor is javascript WMD. http://wmd-editor.com/demo
so I think you'll have to add a button "add video"
and maybe extend preview renderer for the proper functionality.

Evgeny.

Thanks Evgeny,

For now, I added <object> <<param> and a few video related attributes in the acceptable tokens in utils/html.py  file so that if user directly puts video embedd code in WMD from a video website, it should work. It is working like a charm.

cheers
