Embedded Video with Link

Filed under: BitFreedom — Angelo @ 5:57 am

If you want to post videos at bitfreedom.com, active the Embedded Video with Link plugin, and then use the following instructions to include your video.
If not using the WYSIWYG editor, a code snippet with the following format must be inserted into the blog post to include videos:

[portal-id video-id linktext]

The IDs for the different portals can be found beneath.
The ID of the video must be copied from the original URL. This is slightly different for the various video portals, you can find an instruction beneath as well.

The string you choose for the ‘linktext’ part will be included into the linktext below the video. Space characters are permitted.

Example: By typing in ‘
’ the YouTube video with ID ‘83FWE2qBudU’ is included and below a link to that video with the linktext ‘YouTube direct thing’ (as said before, you can configure the prefix ‘direct’ on the plugin configuration page). You can also skip the ‘thing’ string (eg ‘
’), the result will be generated correctly anyway (without any ‘thing’, of course).

If you don’t want any link below the video, just type ‘nolink’ as linktext, eg ‘[youtube 83FWE2qBudU nolink]’.

I’m sorry that there is no link shown for dailymotion videos!

If you have any questions, found bugs or require more features, just leave a comment on this page!
