Discussion

Good plugin, thanks! Whether it is possible to add an opportunity to do signatures and to place window on page on the right, at the left or on the center? Something like: {{youtube>small?right:xxxxxxxxx|Comment}} — Aleksej KUZNECOV 2008/03/30 22:53

Thanks, Aleksej. The plugin was upgraded. Right/left alignment can be written like this.

%%{{ youtube>small:xxxxxxxxx}}%%
%%{{youtube>small:xxxxxxxxx }}%%

By the way, do you want to display Comments as a text ?? — Ikuo Obataya 2008/04/04 05:54

Ver.2008-4-5 can display a title text for 'link', while a title for 'small'/'large' movie on mouse-hover. — Ikuo Obataya 2008/04/05 06:45

Yes, on my wiki I need comments always as a text. I think for movie comments are more convenient, they are always necessary not only on mouse-hover. Whether it is possible to hope, that such opportunity will appear in the following version? Thanks for version 2008-4-4,5!

Good to see this plugin is actively maintained. I use DokuWiki also as a blog. I would like to have the either the movie or a thumbnail in the RSS feed. Since my blog is announced on some planets, I always have to alert to visit the site in order to see the movie.

Hello, centering does not work for me. It seems to create a link to a image or something, wick is not found. Any clues?

Thank you,

— Uderman
