By popular demand, you can now add YouTube videos and videos from other websites directly into articles. More info inside.


You can do much more than YouTube. In fact, you can add the following video sites to ZW.org:

  • Dailymotion
  • FunnyOrDie
  • Google Video
  • sevenload
  • Revver
  • YouTube

How do you do it? This is the template and usage:

  • {{#ev:service|id}} -or-
  • {{#ev:service|id|width}}

...where "service" is the name of the site (like "youtube" or "google video") and "id" is the video ID on that site. All video sites have a spot at the end of their URL where a big string of characters and numbers are. When that's changed, the video you're looking at changes. For example, on YouTube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjA5faZF1A8 <--- The "QjA5faZF1A8" would be the video ID. This video happens to go to "guitar."

You can also change the size of the videos - scale them up or down - just as you would any normal thumbnail. However, you do not use the suffix "px" in your numbers. If you wanted to make the video thumbnail 200px, you would simply type "200".

I hope everybody enjoys this plugin, because I sure do! How often can we hear a Theremin played on ZW.org?
