Remote videos for cpg1.5.x

[Αndré]

I cannot see any embedding options, so I think Facebook doesn't want that people embed their videos somewhere else. So there won't be support for Facebook videos, sorry.

We appreciate you looking at this.

Thank you for your time,

Hello

Can anyone make a video step by step how to use this plugin? I'm trying for months to do it but fail: (

Get Here:
Upload ... (TODO)

But the video and not be attached: (

Make a short video video, step by step work, please!

[Αndré]

Maybe someone else will, but I won't create a video, as the instructions are very easy IMHO. Instead, explain what doesn't work and/or attach the file you try to upload to your gallery.

[brad4edat]

From the instructions I can not figure out how to uploading -
use the upload form or the batch-add feature

What, where and how uploading (state) in this plugin is not well explained - explained. No good illustration.

[brad4edat]

Should the server where my site is to be "virtual", ie Mainframe with full access to the root directory?

[Αndré]

I can not figure out how to uploading

Hmmmm... I think this feature will be good with pictures too or make a remote pictures plugin: uploaded or remote picture show on gallery...

[Αndré]

I won't add this feature to this plugin, and I probably also won't create such a plugin.

Is this plugin just for admin's to upload youtube videos to their gallery or can users/members also upload youtube videos ?

Cheers

[Αndré]

Like every other file type, everyone can upload this special file type.

Thank you André for the mod

Really like how when the video is enlarged the user is not directed to You Tube.

So the uploading side does not look like "the poor cousin" to other gallery platforms is it possible please for you to code into the mod
as others have suggested where the user can simply just paste in the video hosts URL ?

I know of open source code that maybe of use to you to help implement where you can just paste in the URL ?

Obviously I am requesting this cause I want my gallery to be easy for our users to use, but obviously its going to really help to future proof the demand for Coppermine .....

is it possible please for you to code into the mod

I still don't know where to place the field. Do you have any suggestions? If not, my idea is to add a button either to the menu or directly on the upload pages, which redirects you to a separate upload form where you can select the album and paste the URL.

[terrano]

Thank you Αndré

Yes think on the upload page would be best. (clean and least confusion)

[terrano]

Any idea please on a time frame when this can be implemented Αndré ?

I'm currently working on an Youtube URL user upload plugin which will work with this plugin Remote videos for cpg1.5.
I have added a third upload form in addition to swf and single file uploads.
Also I have made a conversion tool for the old Youtube hack for cpg1.4 by Nibbler so Coppermine sites still on cpg1.4 can upgrade and keep their Youtube links.

To make this plugin installable by anybody I want a new hook in db_input.php to process "uploads" which are not file uploads.
My suggestion for a new hook is like this in the last lines of db_input.php:

default:
    if(CPGPluginAPI::action('upload_process',$event)) break;

    // Unknown event
    if ($CONFIG['log_mode'] != 0) {
            log_write('Denied privileged access to db_input.php (unknown event) for user '.$USER_DATA['user_name'].' at ' . $hdr_ip, CPG_SECURITY_LOG);
    }
    cpg_die(CRITICAL_ERROR, $lang_errors['param_missing'], __FILE__, __LINE__);
}

?>

Thank you Veronica that is excellent.

With wishful thinking I installed the code  are you able to give an indication
of time frame please Veronica, days weeks, months ? Appreciate everyone busy with
their own projects, looking to release our new site in 2 weeks, wondering if first bit
of correspondence going to be - "What's notepad" 

[Veronica]

I have a 99% working plugin but some more testing should be performed by me before releasing the code for installation

[terrano]

Well done - thank you for all your effort into the plugin ...

This is a status update of my new remote video linking plugin.

I have found a bug in Coppermine 1.5.20 which results in none of the help screens is easy readable within my plugin
http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,75476.0.html

When this bug is resolved by Coppermine development I can continue my work and also release my plugin
