hey everyone,

I was wondering how to get a widget to have a widget pull videos from
my collection based on a specific tag, not just latest or most
viewed. Is this possible?

Thnx ahead of time.

You can configure a widget to do this at the widgets page:
http://vodpod.com/account/blog_badges

If you're trying to do this with the API, add a "tag_id=foo"
parameters to the /api/pod/videos.js call, i.e:
http://api.vodpod.com/api/pod/videos.js?api_key=mykey&pod_id=spencerpod&tag_id=funny

Hi there,
using the widget doesn't actually work for me and still brings up
videos with other tags.
adding "tag_id=foo" instead of tag_id="foo"

using the api doesn't work for me either, is there a working example?

Thanks

Hey Basta,

I had the same question, and was able to do do this by saving my videos in VodPod into it's own group.  I could have all my videos sit in five different groups, but coming from one source.  Also, u further define which specific videos to show within that one group b using tags you added to the video when uploading to VodPod.

It may sound weird here, but quite effective!

Hit me back if u need more clarity.

Hey cheers Rudy,

Yes im looking for said groups yet seem to be missing it somehow, is
it a tag?

If you know of how to implement the script string for the api or have
an example would be great too.
