Hi SI Team

Just for laughs I tried inserting a Vimeo Chanel instead of a Vimeo video using the Vimeo function in the EB Layout tool.

In my case this:

https://vimeo.com/channels/editdavinci

rather than this:

https://vimeo.com/122006664

However Easy Blog did not seem to like my Vimeo Chanel link. I got a loading message after pasting the Chanel link in. The loading message did not stop. I am not sure if this is a Stackideas thing or a Vimeo thing. I know that a similar plugin that I used for videos also had the same problem.

Is the Vimeo tool in the layout section of EB only for Videos or does it work/can it work with Vimeo Channels?

thanks in advance

Paul

Hey there,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.

Unfortunately that was not possible to embed this `channels` Vimeo video in current system.

Hey Arlex

Thanks for your swift reply.

OK I did some research and it seems as if it is technically possible to do this. e.g. Wordpress lets you embed channels.

http://www.miracletutorials.com/howto-embed-vimeo/
http://www.miracletutorials.com/howto-vimeo-hubnut/

I have installed the viemo hubnut plugin @ Vimeo

And generated the following code

<iframe src="//player.vimeo.com/hubnut/channel/898443?color=44bbff&background=000000&slideshow=0&video_title=1&video_byline=1" width="400" height="300" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe>


I have followed the instructions here:

http://stackideas.com/docs/easyblog/administrators/composing/code-block

For this Blog post here:

http://finalbug.net/blog/entry/527-test-tabs-nle-tracks-roles-part-1-of-3-1

(You can only see it if you login as admin.)

In the second tab in the above post added a "code" block and pasted the Vimeo code but it does not work for me.

I have checked the instructions here:

http://stackideas.com/docs/easyblog/administrators/composing/code-block

Yes I know nothing about coding. I probably have a space to much or have left in a "/" or similar.

Could you kindly advise exactly how to paste:

<iframe src="//player.vimeo.com/hubnut/channel/898443?color=44bbff&background=000000&slideshow=0&video_title=1&video_byline=1" width="400" height="300" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe>


into

function foobar() {
// Write some codes here
}


to get this to work

sorry that this question is so basic

thanks

Paul

@Paul, the code you supplied above worked for me, I wonder what's different in your setup:

<iframe src="//player.vimeo.com/hubnut/channel/898443?color=44bbff&background=000000&slideshow=0&video_title=1&video_byline=1" width="400" height="300" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe>


Also, you could use popup Modal windows (I used the plugin from NoNumber).

Attached is a screenshot showing both.

Hi Eileen

My stupidity. I was using the "code" block under elements in the Layout section.
I have it working now. I used the "HTML" block from the "Misc" section and it works.

Also thanks for your suggestion about "popup Modal windows from NoNumber.
I am a little wary about solutions like this as I had an extended image editor from JCE.
I loved it but I need to get the wonderful SI team to help me with some tiny little hacks.
These broke every time there was an update.
So as I say I am a little bit weary and would prefer an all SI solution.
SI are understandably not so happy to provide hack support and then fix hacks when they break.

I intend to do some more testing...

thanks again
