Dear all,

I have two additional plugins to offer the community, both of which can be found here:


I will write some proper documentation when I get the chance, but essentially they provide the following functionality:
  • VideoJS allows you to upload video media (using the File Manager if you enable the required file extensions) and insert them as you would with images.  The plugin will then render an HTML5 video player called VideoJS in place of those tags, where the file extensions match.
  • TagCloud will render the same tag cloud as the wiki's usual /pages/alltags page anywhere you specify {TagCloud}.  This can be quite useful for inclusion on the homepage for example.
There are a couple of others in the works, I shall post as soon as they are available.  I also intend to render more settings for the VideoJS plugin to customise the controls etc, pending a commit and pull for modifications to /SiteSettings/PluginSettings/Edit such that the different SettingFormTypes are rendered accordingly.

Feedback most welcome.

Regards.

Richard.

Thanks for the plugins.  I added the TagCloud to the Main Page and it does not appear to wrap to the screen, goes straight off the edge.  This happens with any theme.

Hi Nick,

The plugin only renders the tags, you should be able to tweak the layout using CSS.

Regards,

Richard.

What are the tags for the VideoJS plugin ?
I tried uploading an MP4 and adding it as an image and it does nothing.
PlugIn is enabled and MP4 allowed as file types,

Hi Dan,

Have you made sure the 'video' and 'source' tags are in the HTML whitelist and the whitelist is enabled?

Regards,

Richard.

Hi TrickUK,

I'm having problems using the VideoJS plug-in. So far I've:
- Added the files to plugins folder using your pre-compiled zip http://goo.gl/0p7udC and enabled it on the site settings
- Added the video and source to the HTML white list

The plug-in will not convert the video "image" into the video html.

If I manually insert the video html to an external site works:
<video class="video-js vjs-default-skin">
<source src="http://www.sample-videos.com/video/mp4/720/big_buck_bunny_720p_1mb.mp4" type='video/mp4' />
</video>

But if I upload the file to my wiki it doesn't:
<video class="video-js vjs-default-skin vjs-big-play-centered">
<source src="/attachments/Sandbox/SampleVideo.mp4" type='video/mp4' /></video>

Can you help? your other plug-ins work like a charm so thank you for those.

thanks,

Angel

Hi Angel,

If the tags are rendering in the page's source code, then the most likely reason the video isn't being displayed is a path problem.

Perhaps you could check your console for any 404 errors or try access in the path directly?

Regards,

Richard.

Did you ever write up some documentation on this? I'm having trouble figuring out how to install a plugin.

Hi,

No I didn't get around to writing any documentation and the project went a little stale unfortunately.  What are you struggling with?

Regards,

Richard.

Hi TrickUK,

I'm having problems using the VideoJS plug-in. How can i add the video and source to the HTML white list?

<HtmlElement Name="video">
<AllowedAttributes>
<HtmlAttribute Name="id" />
<HtmlAttribute Name="class" />
</AllowedAttributes>
</HtmlElement>


Regards,

Christian
