First, thank you for your contributions! Wonderful plugin.
I have it installed on this website: http://firelightmedia.org/
If you look at the second column on the bottom, whenever you click on the play button, it both plays as well as opens up the video in a window. This results in the users being confused, as they hear the video playing in the background, but have not pushed the play button on the pop up window as of yet.
Do you have any suggestions as to how to fix this?
Please advise.
Thanks.

Hello,
I get the error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /homepages/29/d296247985/htdocs/WordPress/rp/wp-content/plugins/fw-vimeo-videowall/fw-vimeo-videowall.class.php on line 8
WP 2.9.2.
I disabled all the plugins, tried switching the theme with no luck. But works on another WP site. any suggestions?
6 May 2010 at 11:11 am
Sorry I’m late answering everybody. For those who get the unexpected T_STRING error, please make sure you are using php 5 and let met know. I think this error occurs on php4.
6 May 2010 at 11:12 am
Fame, first of all, I’m not a guy, nor a man but a lady
lol
I cannot reproduce your bug so it may be useful if you could give me an url address where I can see it in action. Thanks.
6 May 2010 at 11:19 am
Steve, I do not have a Vimeo plus account so I can’t test on that. However, with an application external to Vimeo, it seems difficult to access the user accounts information. Also my plugin does not intent to manage videos visibility but only display them according to what Vimeo allows. I’m not sure I can actually do what you require. Please give more details on what you would like.
6 May 2010 at 3:48 pm
It works it was PHP 4.x. I had to add something to the htaccess which looks like remaps .php to php5. My host requires .php5 otherwise.
I had to go with another plugin on the website because yours does not include text (Title, part of Desc.) beneith the video. Any ETA when that will be added?
6 May 2010 at 4:02 pm
Eric, glad you could manage. By the way, my plugin does include different options like video title (not desc at the moment). Please read the documentation that comes in the readme.txt file to find out the different layouts.

Bonjour,
Je suis encore en train de construire le site, mais votre plugin est juste formidable, il fallait que je vous le dise! Quand le site sera finit je vous invite à venir y faire un tour! Merci infiniment!
Nina
21 May 2010 at 8:55 am
Merci Nina, il faudra donc nous prévenir de la sortie du site
21 May 2010 at 2:39 pm
Ah une petite question, y’a t’il un moyen pour centrer la video dans le flash player (un argument pour le short tag?)
Exemple du problème ici : http://badass-prods.com/?page_id=47 (cliquez sur n’importe quelle video)
Merci encore!
Nina

This is a great plugin, simple and it works. Except the pagination always seems to come back to the same first 20 videos of a group. We have a group with 37 videos and paginating at 20 is fine. But he links for the pagination are exactly the same for “1″ and “2″. See our test at: http://www.girlfriendgetawayhouston.com/test-video-2/ .
Seems like there should be some indication in the paging links that you are requesting one of the 3 pages the Vimeo Simple API allows.
26 May 2010 at 10:23 pm
I have figured out that the paging works through jQuery and that lead me to find that I am getting a Javascript error when the page loads.
jQuery(“.fwvvw_vthumb”).livequery is not a function
I am not much of a programmer, but I am learning jQuery. I had just learned about .live() and so I replaced “livequery” with “live” and the paging started working. Beautiful!
The problem I am seeing now is that the jQuery request does not reload the page and the request can take a little time to come back. So I am working on some way to have a “loading animation” appear while the page is waiting for the new videos.
27 May 2010 at 6:43 am
Thanks Tom for your tests and for sharing. I’m not available at the moment but I’ll have a look at it as soon as I can. Please do share if you find out a suitable solution. Thanks for your help.
8 June 2010 at 1:30 pm
First of all thanks for this wonderfull plugin!
I would like to collaborate by hint to the people who have the following warning:
“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″
I solved this warning when I realized that I was doing the paste of the group ID from the Vimeo url while editing the post in VISUAL mode. This way, the html code for the post line containing the call to fwvvw was something like:
[fwvvw id=30936source="group" number="10"]Hand writting the code and leaving something like the following solved the problem:
[fwvvw id=30936 source="group" number="10"]Hope it helps!
8 June 2010 at 1:36 pm
Sorry, for the formating errors in my previous post. In fact I reproduced the same error the warning is complaining of. What I mean is that if you paste the ID of the video or group while editing the post in VISUAL mode you get a wrong html code which excludes the number you are pasting from the code block.
You get:
[fwvvw id=47154source="group" number="4"]instead of:
[fwvvw id=47154 source="group" number="4"]14 June 2010 at 9:25 pm

17 June 2010 at 8:22 pm
HI there!
The plugin work wonderfully, however I can get the video to be centered in the player, or the player to be the same size as the video. Anybody has an idea for maybe a line of code to adjust the video to the player or vice-versa?
Here is what I am talking about: http://badass-prods.com/work/videos/
You’ll see that under the vid there is a black space that has no purpose. I wouldn’t mind to have the video framed by black lines (letter-box like) or have the player right at the same size as the video.
Any help would be much appreciated!
18 June 2010 at 4:00 pm
Hey Dale, Can you provide a link to the page where the error is happening?
5 July 2010 at 9:20 pm
Great plugin, but I have one problem…
When using clickable thumbnails in the sidebar widget, the ‘click’ leads to nowhere. There seems to be no working link to the videos at Vimeo. Any ideas?
6 July 2010 at 8:35 am
Michiel, my idea is that ajax does not execute correctly, maybe due to another plugin. Can you try to have my plugin work when desactivating other plugins ? Please let us know.
6 August 2010 at 9:28 pm
Hello Myriam
I have an idea to improve this wonderful plugin
I hope you don’t mind considering it.
As of now, the plugin works perfectly, only if the vimeo’s server is up.
I mean, there will be sometime when video is not available right away.
When this happens, users can not click the close button ( red cross )
because the close button will be loaded only if the video is available.
You can reproduce this by just setting your browser to offline mode,
when click on the vdo thumb, it loads up the blank overlay without
the close button ( red cross ).
If the close button is loaded separately from the vdo ajax, then when
there is no video available, at least users can click the close button.
16 August 2010 at 11:56 pm
Hello, first off- great plugin!
Second, I think there may be a bug when using the WordPress widget to display playable thumbnails. When you click the thumbnail to play it, it starts playing in the sidebar, but also opens up a modal box with a second instance of the video that is not playing. If you hit play on the modal box video, that video starts playing along with the one that is playing in the sidebar, resulting in two videos playing at once. I did not see an option to turn this behavior off, have I just misconfigured something, or is this a bug?
Thanks,
Lukas
19 August 2010 at 3:53 pm
Hi, Nice plugin! I’m trying to scale up the thumbnail width AND resolution and have entered width=”200″ in the shortcode but the image is still low res at 100px wide and trying to fill the 200px wide box. Any ideas would be helpful, even where to change this in the plugin code.
26 August 2010 at 4:49 am
This is a great plugin! I had a question, on my video page, everything works, except for when I try to X out of the window that the video has come up in, it won’t close. i have to either refresh or reopen the browser. Any suggestions?
30 August 2010 at 4:17 pm
Hello,
First of all tanks for this great plugin.
I currently have a problem with window where th ethe vimeo-palyer is displayed on. Th eproblem is that it wont close anymore (see http://losseveter.dnsalias.net/videos/). The strange thing is that the videos displayed on the homepage (http://losseveter.dnsalias.net)
are working fine.
Any thought about what might be the problem??
31 August 2010 at 9:48 am
Sorry everybody for my late reply, I’m just back from holiday.
@Eric, I think the problem may come from another javascript interfering. If you want to identify which one, maybe trying desactivating other plugins one by one may help. Please let me know.
I’ll check on the other problems and will let everybody know.
Thanks
31 August 2010 at 9:50 am
@Mark : please check on your css styles. Maybe one style is overriding the plugin’s settings.
31 August 2010 at 10:06 am
@Eric and Remk : I thinks you are using a plugin which prevents Jquery from loading (remk is loading a min version). Please confirm.
@ Luckas, I need to check on that, thanks for reporting.
31 August 2010 at 2:08 pm
@Eric, Remk : The problem occurs with WP latest version. I fixed the bug with the cross so there will be a new version of this plugin shortly ! Thanks for reporting.
31 August 2010 at 2:48 pm
@Luckas : I need to know exactly how you configured the widget as I can’t reproduce this situation. Please give me all the setting information and an url where I can see this happen.
@Mark : found it ! This occurred with the latest version of WP default twentyten template and was indeed a CSS problem. This will be ok in the next plugin version.
9 October 2010 at 8:32 am
Sorry, I must be a bit thick but I cannot work out the shortcodes:
- to display vignettes of all videos in a channel
- to display a particular video in full/or downsized (such as http://vimeo.com/15622325)
Thanks for the help
Regards
12 October 2010 at 10:59 am
Martin, no you’re not thick !!! tssss !
To display a channel, do
[fwvvw id=channel_id source="channel" number="0"]
and replace channel_id by the channel id of course.
To display a single video, well I did not intend to do so. A way to do it would be to put this video in a group on its own and put the corresponding shortcode for the group.
Hope it helps
13 October 2010 at 5:59 am
Fairweb,
Looking forward to installing your videowall plugin. I’m running into a problem when attempting install (see below). Any solutions? Thanks!
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /hermes/bosweb/web251/b2518/d5.eciticec/public_html/luce025/wp-content/plugins/fw-vimeo-videowall/fw-vimeo-videowall.class.php on line 8
13 October 2010 at 6:29 am
Donna, please make sure that you are running PHP5 and not PHP4.
14 October 2010 at 3:22 am
Switched to 5. Thank you. And ideal/elegant video widget solution — just what I was looking for.
19 October 2010 at 11:05 am
hey great plugin is there any way to display the vimeo “liked” videos.
25 October 2010 at 10:24 am
@michaelpaguay, not for the moment but I’ll check on this possibility. Il acutally depends on the Vimeo API. If someone has a clue, I can save time.
25 October 2010 at 8:48 am
Hi Fairweb,
I’m having the same problems as Fred, i’ve played around with the default widths and or number of windows to see if there was some sort of overlap? However it seems that the fm-vimeo widget in the sliding doors theme forces the following widgets to start after the post/page’s text.
any clues?
25 October 2010 at 10:21 am
solved by changing the fwclear properties
25 October 2010 at 10:25 am
@Tonyest, thanks for giving quick fix.
8 November 2010 at 10:31 pm
Hi — I’ve been trying unsuccessfully, through css, to display a transparent play button over the thumbnail on hover… Any ideas on how to do this? thanks.
25 November 2010 at 7:23 pm
Hi Fairweb,
Is it possible to add autoplay functionality in this plugin? I adjusted the code on my development site (http://lv20.homeip.net/Losseveter_shadow/) to autoply the video’s after opening. I changed the function function display_single_video()
and changed the line:
$oembed_url = $this->api_endpoint.’?url=’.rawurlencode(‘http://vimeo.com/'.$this->id).’&maxwidth=’.$this->vwidth.’&maxheight=’.$this->vheight.’&autoplay=1′;
But the value for autoplay should be a choice of the user of this plugin.

13 December 2010 at 3:24 pm
hello,
great plug in!
is it possible to output the video title in the shadow box?
13 December 2010 at 3:51 pm
To Mark,
to display thumbnails larger and in good resolution change line 168 in fw-vimeo-videowall.calls.php
from
$html_code .= ‘thumbnail_small.’” alt=”‘.$video->title.’” title=”‘.$video->title.’” style=”width: ‘.$this->vwidth.’px;” />’;
to
$html_code .= ‘thumbnail_medium.’” alt=”‘.$video->title.’” title=”‘.$video->title.’” style=”width: ‘.$this->vwidth.’px;” />’;
