Requires: Drupal 5, Content (CCK)
|
| 11 |
Optional: Views

This extensible module will create a field for node content types that can be used to display video and thumbnails
|
| 14 |
from various third party video providers. When entering the content, the user will simply paste the URL or embed code
|
| 15 |
of the video, and the module will automatically determine which content provider is being used. When displaying
|
| 16 |
the video, the proper embedding format will be used.
|
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The module already supports YouTube, Google, Revver, MySpace, MetaCafe, JumpCut, BrightCove, SevenLoad, iFilm and Blip.TV
|
| 19 |
video formats. More are planned to be supported soon. An api allows other third party video providers to be supported using
|
| 20 |
simple include files and provided hooks. (Developers: examine the documentation of /providers/youtube.inc for help in adding
|
| 21 |
support for new providers).
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
The administer of a site may decide whether to allow all content providers, or only a certain number of them. They may
|
| 24 |
further be limited when configuring the field.
|
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
On the Display Fields settings page, the administrator may further choose how to display the video, for teasers and body.
|
| 27 |
Videos may be displayed in a preview or full size, each of configurable sizes. When available by a provider, thumbnails may
|
| 28 |
also be displayed, and sized appropriately. Any necessary API calls to third party providers are cached.
|
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Other features available are allowing a video to autoplay, or changing the size of the video. Those features will be set
|
| 31 |
when creating or editing the specific field. Note that not all options are supported by all providers. You can see a list
|
| 32 |
of what features are currently supported by a provider at admin/content/video_cck.
|
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Some providers may provide other features that are supported by Video CCK, such as affiliate programs with Revver, or related
|
| 35 |
video thumbnails with YouTube, embedded within the video. You can find those settings at admin/content/video_cck, in the
|
| 36 |
fieldset for the specific provider.
