In order to add a flash video player to a story I made the following edit in story.class.php so that I can run the script.

Text Formatted Code

    function _displayEscape($in)
    {
        $return = str_replace('$', '$', $in);
//        $return = str_replace('{', '{', $return);
//        $return = str_replace('}', '}', $return);
        return $return;
    }
 


I am the only person entering stories so no one else can insert a script.

Are there any down sides to this edit?

Is there a better way to allow scripts in stories?

Below is the script I inserted into the story.
Text Formatted Code

<script type="text/javascript" src="/flowplayer/examples/js/flashembed.min.js"></script><script>window.onload = function() {  

        flashembed("example", {src:'/flowplayer/FlowPlayerDark.swf',width: 400, height: 290},{config: {
                autoPlay:false,
                controlBarBackgroundColor:'0x2e8860',
                initialScale: 'scale',
                videoFile: 'http://www.sillig.com/Photographs/2008-07-12/023.flv'      
                }}
        );
 }
</script>

You might have a look at the Autoptags plugin, and how it handles a Youtube video. If you upload a videoplayer to your site, you can make an autotag to embed the movie in a story.

Otherwise, you'll have to edit core files each time you upgrade Geeklog.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Maybe I'm missing something, but have you tried adding the script tag and all the required attributes to the list of allowed HTML (for Admins)?

bye, Dirk

I added the script tag and required elements.

The error message that I get is ERROR: Expected '{'.

I even tried to add { and } as attributes but I think the string replace is happening prior to the tag qualification.

Greg

Hi gtgillis,

With Media Gallery you can embed your flv video in a story or a comment with autotag [video:XXXXXXXXXXXXXX] where XXXXXXXXX is your media ID.

See an exemple here.

I installed the Autotags plugin on my test site and it works well without the need to edit any core Geeklog files.

I created autotags for both single video and multiple videos in a story.

See http://www.rudebastard.com/article.php?story=20081024092605622 for the single video.

See http://www.rudebastard.com/article.php?story=20081024082155548 for multiple videos.

MediaGallery is a nice plugin but I wanted something a little smaller to deal with the videos.

Flowplayer and Autotag is a great solution.

Thanks for the suggestion beewee.
