Purpose
Inserting any embed code into Joomla! is not easy. For the longest time, I was looking for a Viddler plugin. No one ever came up with one. I decided to take the Stage6 plugin that is created by Blogi&Wiki and alter the code to work with Viddler. As of April 4, 2008, there has been 203 downloads.
Joomla! 1.0.12+
There is a simple mambot for Joomla! that will allow you to insert Viddler video into your Joomla! content. All you need is the video ID. {gviddler videoID|width|height}
{gviddler dbaa3700|437|370}
- dbaa3700 is the embed code
To get the video code, you must click on Embed video button on the Viddler page, look for http://www.viddler.com/player/dbaa3700/ in the code. Copy the code that in between the "/" slashes, like dbaa3700.
{sviddler dbaa3700|437|370} is the code for inserting the Simple Viddler flash player.
The above video links here.
There is an editor button that you can add so that you do not have to remember the code and insert the code using any editor for Joomla!
Joomla! 1.5+
Anyone who wants to alter my code and release a plugin for Joomla! 1.5, please feel free. But please let me know so I can offer it on my site or link to your site.
Development Notes
I created a new mambot that will allow for height and width adjustments.
Version 0.3 is the older version of the mambot.
- {viddler labanex|45|effacbff} - For the general player, which does not have the links below the video player anymore, unlike 0.1 or 0.2.
- {viddlersimple labanex|45|effacbff} - For the simple player, same adjustments made.
Version 1.0 is the new version of the mambot.
- {gviddler effacbff|437|370} - For the general player, allowing for width and height adjustments
- {sviddler effacbff|437|370} - For the simple player, allowing for width and height adjustments

In the video player, can we add the Joomla! Viddler Player button to allow for easy copy/paste of the code into Joomla! where the Embed/Format Options button is. The Current Frame radio button can gray out because at this time, there is no option to add that unless I re-do the mambot altogether.
Displaying "{gviddler fc1efb8a|437|370}" which is id|width|height

As far as the API version of the Joomla! Viddler Component and a Video Commenting Component, I will work on that next, but it will take me some time because I am still learning PHP and I need to know how API works. Any help from anyone would be appreciated.
