[Plugin: Viper's Video Quicktags] Using Quicktags in Theme File (outside the loop)

    Hello,

    I’m trying to use the FLV Quicktags in my theme file but cannot get the short codes to actually call the plugin and display the video.

    I’ve tried:

    [FLV]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeroJ1BK6GQ[/FLV]
    and
    <?php echo do_shortcode("[FLV]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeroJ1BK6GQ[/FLV]") ?>

    Both without luck.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Dave

    Shortcodes raw in your theme obviously won’t do anything. do_shortcode() alone is not enough.

    Try this:

    <?php echo apply_filters( 'the_content', '[foo]bar[/foo]' ); ?>

    To call the plugin outside the_content :

    //the string contains the viper's shortcodes.
echo do_shortcode($String_to_apply_the_plugin);

echo $VipersVideoQuicktags->SWFObjectCalls();

    That does the same thing as what I posted. 😉

    Hi Alex,

    How can I use the above, but include the URL from a custom post field?

    get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘youtubeid’, true)

    Thanks and love your plug in!

    Hi Alex,

    I am new to WordPress. I found your plugin while searching for some plugin to allow my front end users to post with videos. But I am not sure how to use this. I have installed this and activated also. I can see it at backend. But I want to create a menu item on my website and from the menu your plugin should open and allow the user to post along with videos. Please help me . Please provide step by step instruction how this. I am using “Arras” theme.

    Thanks in advance
    Biz
