    Is there a way to modify the plugin where instead of image or video I could do just a list of the Video titles?

  2. Fairweb
    27 January, 2010 à 5:47 am:

    Good idea Tim. Thanks for asking, I’ll see what I can do and will update the plugin if it works.

    27 January, 2010 à 7:18 am:

    Ok Tim, your requested feature is now available. You can upgrade.

    Hello,

    nice plugin, exactly what I was looking for.

    I played around with it. It seems that no matter the number attribute, any number above 20 results to 20 videos maximum. Is there any way to change this maximum to 40 or 50? I tried to find it but I couldn’t.

    Thanks anyways!

  5. Fairweb
    27 January, 2010 à 7:37 pm:

    weremoose, I don’t have that many videos so I can’t test that. Please give me an account, channel or group with more than 20 videos so I can test it. I did not limit the number of videos but maybe Vimeo does. I’ll check on that.

    I tried animation in mine and it looks like this:
    http://www.whyisthisnotadream.net/wp/

    id=”animation”

    I guessed there should be a default limit as with more that 2000 videos it wouldn’t be right for jut one page, but from 2000 to 20?

    I guess it is a vimeo thing.

  7. Fairweb
    29 January, 2010 à 3:59 am:

    Found it ! I’m using the simple Vimeo API which indeed only displays 20 videos max. There is a Vimeo Advanced API which allows more flexibility. I’ll digg on that but the plugin may get heavier so it may be a good idea to create a different advanced plugin for that. If I do it, I’ll let you know.

  8. Fairweb
    29 January, 2010 à 4:29 am:

    I found a pagination possibility in the simple API so that’s what I’ll use on the next version of this plugin. Just give me a bit of time as this means adding different arguments and quite a few changes to my program.

    29 January, 2010 à 6:37 am:

    In using this as a sidebar widget, all widgets placed below it get pushed way down the page leaving an unacceptable appearance of white space. Wonder why? I’d very much like to use this. Merci.

  10. Fairweb
    29 January, 2010 à 6:51 am:

    Hi Fred, can you give me a url where I could see the odd behaviour ? It seems like a CSS problem but I can have a look and see if I can help.

    Hi Dan,

    What settings are you using ? Are you using the widget, with group /user… ? Please give me your exact setting so I can reproduce the same context and apply suitable fix.

  16. Fairweb

    Don’t bother Dan, I found the bug and will release a new version with the fix very shortly. Thanks for reporting.

    Is there any functionality to allow playing of private or password protected videos?

  20. Fairweb
    11 February, 2010 à 7:27 am:

    I’m not sure we can do that with the Vimeo Simple API Jaryd. I suppose it can be done with the Advanced API which I’m not using for this plugin.
    However, if you get any information regarding this possibility with simple API, please let me know.

  21. Jaryd Malbin
    11 February, 2010 à 8:47 am:

    Thanks for the reply. Another question: Is it possible to append the video name under the thumbnail? My clips generally start with the first frame blank, and it doesn’t offer enough information to choose from.

  22. Paul
    22 February, 2010 à 3:39 pm:

    Hi Myriam

    Quick question about this nice little plugin you made.

    When clicking on the video thumb nail, it only leads
    to the video at the main VIMEO page ?

    Would it be possible to have the video played within
    the wordpress page ?

    I currently use Vimeo as my primary video hosting,
    and I’m sure that there are many of Vimeo users
    who will be very very happy if there is a plugin to allow
    having the video playlist ( with thumbnail ) that will
    play the video right away instead of redirecting to Vimeo.

    Thank you very much for your effort.

  23. Fairweb
    22 February, 2010 à 3:53 pm:

    Hi Paul,

    I am quite surprised by your question as my plugin opens a div in WP in which the video is played (and not a Vimeo page). Could you please give me the url of your website where this occurs. I intend to release a new version fairly soon so if there is a bug, I might just as well fix it for this version.

  24. Paul
    22 February, 2010 à 4:46 pm:

    Hi again Myriam

    Just to be clear for all other users that might be browsing
    and reading my comment above. By looking at the screenshots,
    I was too quick to assume that it just provides links to Vimeo page.

    Actually this plugin does indeed work exactly the way
    it’s said in the description.

    I have to say thank to Myriam for a very very quick reply.

    It shows your great effort on the support part
    which is the most important thing for clients to look for.

    Thanks again.

    26 February, 2010 à 3:49 am:

    I’m interested in following up with the question above, about the possibility of an update that would allow the image appear with the title beneath it.

    26 February, 2010 à 6:43 am:

    Hi Jon,

    This will be released very shortly now.

    Hi,

    I have some difficulty to install any version of you plugin…
    it’s seem so cute! It’s a shame! :(

    Wordpress say to me:
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /homez.41/deletere/www/areality/wp-content/plugins/fw-vimeo-videowall/fw-vimeo-videowall.class.php on line 8

    My version is good (2.9)
    Any idea?
    Thanks by advance!

    3 March, 2010 à 6:14 pm:

    Hi aadibou,

    Are you using php4 or php5 ?

  31. Fairweb
    3 March, 2010 à 6:46 pm:

    For those who wanted to be able to display video titles under its thumbnail, you can now upgrade to version 1.3 and use argument “title” set to true to have the feature enabled.

    I have the same problem as Aadibou using php4

    Nevermind. I upgraded to PHP5 and it works like a dream.

    Hi,

    Love your plugin, it looks great – I use it in the footer of my blog.
    I just have have a problem closing the pop ups when playing the video – it does not seem to do anything.

    wordpress2.9.2
    php5 (of course)
    Firefox 3.6

    thanks

    thanks for the great plugin! It saved me TONS of work. Shoot me a link of where to contribute to your work!

    I’m having one problem: The widget isn’t accepting a “Title”; it keeps replacing it with “1″. I can’t find where the widget title is set in the code. Please help

  36. Fairweb
    10 March, 2010 à 9:11 am:

    Phillip, I don’t have this problem and can’t reproduce it. It seems that your page is not W3C valid. Try and correct the xhtml errors and see if it works better.

  37. Sherman
    10 March, 2010 à 9:13 am:

    I realize I forgot to link to a page demonstrating the issue: http://174.136.7.132/~durabot1/
    Thanks again!

    10 March, 2010 à 9:21 am:

    Sherman, thanks for asking for the donate link. Here it is https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=11221214

    Regarding your title issue, the widget is set in fw-vimeo-videowall-widget.class.php file line 79. I checked and could not reproduce this bug. There may be a conflict with another plugin. Please let me know if you find something or if you find it difficult to sort out.

  39. Fairweb
    10 March, 2010 à 9:26 am:

    Sherman, I think I have an idea where the problem lies. It seems I have two fields with the same name (title) in my latest version as I added the opportunity to display video titles under thumbnails.

    I’ll try to sort it out as soon as possible.

  40. Sherman
    10 March, 2010 à 9:27 am:

    Thanks for the quick response. I was wondering about that.
    I’ll hide the element for now and look forward to your update.

  41. Fairweb
    10 March, 2010 à 3:00 pm:

    Sherman, new version is now available and the bug is fixed.

    Hi Myriam

    I’m reporting this, in hope that there would be a fix fot it.

    I get this error

    Warning: array_slice() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /home/—my-host-name—/public_html/wp-content/plugins/fw-vimeo-videowall/fw-vimeo-videowall.class.php on line 235

    Most of the time, everything works fine though.
    So I suppose there is nothing wrong with other plugins and
    the compatiblity of hosting server is not the issue here.

    I was wondering if there is anyway to not display any error message
    - especially the one that shows full path to the WP folder like this.

    Please note that :
    this error only happens sometimes and I suspect that it’s because of
    vimeo server is slow sometimes, but this is outside the scope of my
    knowledge to say exactly.
