How do users use it?

To embed a piece of media in a post or page you simply need to add the following shortcode to you post or page content:

[media link="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EojN6r2VSR4"]

You can also set a custom width and height to your media by adding the width and height parameters to the shortcode:

[media width="800" height="600" link="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EojN6r2VSR4"]

As of version 1.3 you can now remove the container around the embed code by setting the container to false(default is true):

[media container="false" link="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EojN6r2VSR4"]

How do developers use it?

Don't worry, we did not forget about the developers.

To embed a piece of media somewhere in the code you simply need to add the following function to the template:

<?php media_embed('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EojN6r2VSR4'); ?>

You can also set a custom width and height to the media by adding arguments for width and height respectively:

<?php media_embed('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EojN6r2VSR4', 800, 600); ?>

As of version 1.3 it is now possible to remove the container around the embed code you can set the container to false(default is true):

<?php media_embed('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EojN6r2VSR4', 800, 600, false); ?>

OR if you don't want to set the width and height and just remove the container:

<?php media_embed('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EojN6r2VSR4', '', '', false); ?>
