Flash addition to the video plugin

Adding Flash to the Video Plugin.

Someone said that if you hang around smart people long enough you may learn something.

For the time and help with “preg_replace” lessons and a whole lot more, thanks to ¥åßßå who’s coding skills are only matched by his good looks and pleasant demeanour.

The b2evolution plugin is available for download here

Whilst I'm impressed that you've written yer first plugin, I'm not impressed that yer charset still makes me look like a stereo-typical jew .... not that I have anything against being jewish, but I don't think I could handle the couple of inches of skin that it costs to convert :|

What's needed? I'm happy to scape my knuckles for your handle.
This is running utf-8 but does screw up more than just your name???
Comment by ¥åßßå on 09 January 08 @ 11:07
I've no idea without looking into all your settings and stuff.

It does seem to be evo related though because if I change my name in your db it shows correctly in your skin.

Have a talk with Afwas, he seems to know how to handle charsets ;)

Will do...
phpinfo shows..
HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7
Comment by ¥åßßå on 09 January 08 @ 11:47
I've never had to bother with charsets, everyone I know speaks english ... or a relatively understandable variation ....... so I'm crap at debugging problems with them

Some things that may help though :
1)Your feeds page doesn't correctly change the charset of some feeds ( this may be something to do with the feeds but from an evo point the output is changed to $current_charset when the feed is displayed by the plugin .... might be worth echoing out the $current_charset var ;) )

2) If I change my name in your db then it's output correctly ( hints that the problem is more on the "input" side of things )

3) It's late and I'm soon off to the land of nod ( now that one's bound to help :D )

btw, comment moderation sucks, thank god yer an idle arse and haven't changed yer password ;)

Halfway towards fixing the issues of your handle and related stuff, thanks to Afwas at http://www.blog.hemminga.net/

Let's see if this makes ¥åßßå happy.
John, ot's a wonderful plugin addition. And what's more it inspires me to a new project of my own. I haven't set a timeframe for that one yet, so please be patient.

Thanks a million, though there is a problem.... everything that had "¥åßßå" in previous posts, comment headers or feeds has been stripped or converted to his innervisions link.
In this post there was a link to ¥åßßå... it has gone and so has all the content that came after it.

I'll see if I can patch it tomorrow!!?!!

Thanks for the help.... fantastic.

Edit: All fixed :

How cool, I no longer need lose a few inches just to post ;)

Still confused why you have a "human hoop" and still moderate comments ;)

So am I !!!

Set your default comment status to "Published" in admin > blog settings > urm .... one of the tabs :p

Or install our wonderful plugin, which may or may not work in 2.3 as I stopped using comment moderation ages ago .. and no human hoops either ;) ( mind you, I'm not sure if moderation is back on my blog as I've just upgraded it to 2.3 and haven't had a chance to check my system :p )

I Have that AM Allow Comments installed, It certainly makes life easier for me, buggered if I know what it does for anyone else.
My Admin settings have been ticked, so lets see what happens.
Comment by ¥åßßå on 11 January 08 @ 11:02
*bites*

g'won, lets see if you went the whole hog and made the default comment status published ( which that plugin will only do for the author/assigned user of a post, or a blog member, not a visitor )

Ohhh, I'll also jump through the "I know, it's 'smart' huh?" hoop that I always have to jump through ... at least whoo's "human" box allows for unique replies ;)

Damn, you failed :| Seriously, you have a bobo box, set comments as published by default and see how much spam you have to delete, I bet it's bugger all ( even though I'll still gripe at having to fill in the bobo box ;) ) ¥
Comment by John Email on 11 January 08 @ 12:50

even though I'll still gripe at having to fill in the bobo box ;)

I reckon you would gripe if there was nothing to gripe about.

Damn right :p ¥

It'd help if I quoted the right bit huh ? :-S

I reckon you would gripe if there was nothing to gripe about.

*runs off to untick the "spam me by clicking on the envelope next to my name" box that comes back if you preview* ... I really need to change that in the core ĥĥĥĥ :|
