oEmbed extension

[Schop]

NB! When you install the unstable release always grab the text file (next to the zip file) too so you know exactly which version you installed - the unstable release changes constantly, not only once every day/night.

Hans, why don't you inlude the number in the text file in the footer in the backend, to make it clearer which unstable release one is using?

do you have an url where I can look at it?

Yes: http://www.ambientblog.net
(= http://www.vancooten.com/blog/ )

But you won't notice anything on the user's side I guess?

Ah.. that explains a lot - your jQuery is loaded in compatibility mode, the 0.7 version of oembed should have fixed that..

...but I'm afraid it didn't

[jadwigo]

could you publish a page on ambientblog.net somewhere with a youtube embed in it so I can look at the output?

[PvC]

Of Course, here it is. I dated it 2006 to keep it out of view.

The source code tells me that oembed uses the fallback for the link:

Code: Select all

<p><a href="<a" class="oembed">loading something from default</a></p>


Which means the cache and possibly mysql is not working.
Also it looks like you're trying to embed a hyperlink and not an url.

Which is weird, did you use

Code: Select all

[[embed url="<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac9Rnk9G-A">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac9Rnk9G-A</a>"]]


instead of

Code: Select all

[[embed url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xac9Rnk9G-A"]]


some browsers (I'm looking at MSIE here) like to replace URL's with hyperlinks.

On what server are you working now? The IIS or the Apache one?

[PvC]

As far as I know my webserver is Apache.

I did a small test and embedded the link with three different browsers.

IE immediately turns the URL into a hyperlink and totally corrupts the code: "<a" class="oembed"> is never correct in any way!

FF and Chrome insert the correct URL but the result still is a hyperlink displaying "loading something from default".

Am I the only one experiencing this?
In fact I never found it too annoying to include the complete <object> code, so I don't know why I bother with this extension at all.

[jadwigo]

maybe it'll work if you remove the broken link that internet explorer made - javascript likes to stop at the first unrecoverable error.

[PvC]

Nope, I'm sorry.

[jadwigo]

well.. at least the external links jquery script is working now.

Could you provide me with access to the pivotx backend so I can try to find what's wrong (PM or email to lodewijk at twokings dot nl)
