[Pro] How to embed video using webyep?

My client wants to be able to embed video on his editable pages. I see that webyep has a media plugin, but I need help. Anyone ever used this? The video is a screen cast created with Camtasia Studio 7. So, I have an html file, .swf, .mp4, etc to work with.

Any guidance from the webyep geniuses out there?
Thanks so much.

I’m not aware of a way to upload video files via WebYep. Images definitely possible via Lightbox javascript, but not video. Perhaps it is possible to use a rich text element to embed video using CKEditor but personally I refrain from allowing that kind of page editing.

On re-reading this I realized it’s misleading. The WebYep image object is all that is needed to add images, but it is possible to use the Lightbox javascript to create an updatable gallery.

Maybe I wasn’t clear. I want to use WebYep to allow my user to edit which video (a screen cast) into the page. We could use fetch to move the files. But, how to I integrate video into a page using WebYep? I found a media plug in, I’m just not sure how to use it or what it really does.

Not sure what you are referring to. Which plug?

It was a TinyMCE plugin - which is the WebYep richtext editor. There are plugins at: TinyMCE download | SourceForge.net

Found one that allows inline html. Maybe that would work?
Anyone ever used TinyMCE plugins?

Ok, that’s what I guessed you meant. You can use a rich text editor like TinyMCE or FCKeditor to add the videos same as you would with an html editor, but then the only part of the process WebYep is involved in is adding the rich text editor. Once you have the rich text editor available on your page courtesy of WebYep then you use that editor to add content, not WebYep.

Hi Jan,

I use TinyMCE for webyep, too.

If you use the advanced theme, you should normally have a small icon (like a film strip) called insert multimedia. The plugin should be called media.

It allows in my instance: Flash, Quicktime, Shockwave, Windows Media and Real Media.

I tested a .mov and mp3 file as Quicktime and it worked.

Hope it gives you some help.

Thomas,
I do not have the media plug in installed. How do you use the advanced theme you mentioned? Or maybe the question is how do you install a plugin?

Thanks any and everyone for suggestions.

jan

the key to do this is to use a tinymce_init.php. It is located in the opt folder just before the tinymce folder.

In this init I have following code

(the head should go under the script :slight_smile:

Now you can see:

theme : “advanced”

plugins: “safari …”

I used another skin and I installed an image browser called tinybrowser.

In addition I am able to choose from some external CSS via dropdown.

I know - this stuff is something “overkill” for the moment and I can tell you: it took me months to understand - but it works and never change a working engine :slight_smile:

To point you through we should do it step by step.

Oh by the way. Most of the content of my website I insert via tinyMCE cause a do not want to open my freeway-file for small changes :slight_smile:

It is located in the opt folder…

You must install the TinyMCE folder directly into the opt folder inside the WebYep-system folder on your server. Use an ftp client to get access to the opt directory. Once the TinyMCE folder is in the opt folder WebYep will give you access to the editor.

sure - this is nothing new - new is to put a tinymce_init.php in this same opt folder. This will open you the ability to “install” or use plugins.
