[Plugin: pb-embedFlash] WP 2.2.2 and Shadowbox

    Hello,

    I am using this plugin and it works great. Thanks for producing such a great piece of code.

    However, I am having trouble with it while using it under WP version 2.2. 2. The problem is that the shadowbox is not loading the video properly and so the browser just opens a new page and plays the FLV file. And the popup gives the same problems as others have mentioned here, with the screen being partially obscured and also just loading into a new window.

    It works fine under WP 2.5.1, so I am thinking that is a javascript/WP version issue.

    I am using Version: 1.5rc9.4 of the plugin. Has there been any updates to the javascript code since then?

    Thank you.

    As you said, it does work on newer WordPress Versions.
    From the plugin description:

    – pb-embedFlash is optimized for WordPress 2.5 since version 1.5 rc 6. It may not run properly with previous WordPress versions! –

    The changes from 2.3 to 2.5 were so “heavy” that it would’ve taken too much time of coding to guarantee backwards compatibility.

    Since 1.5rc6, only WordPress versions >= 2.5.x are fully supported by the plugin. But Shadowbox was introduced in a later release candidate.

    So I propose to update to WordPress 2.5.x or to use another plugin (if there is one), sorry!

    Thanks for the quick response, Pasber. Much appreciated.

    I rather figured, since it was a pre-WP 2.3 version, that there might be a problem. This site will be upgraded in the future to 2.5.1. It is just that the site’s template is built from scratch and is heavily modded and specialized, so I was hoping to be able to use this beforehand, since upgrading the site to 2.5.1 will require a fair amount of recoding of the template functions. But it is not a huge deal.

    Also, you might want to change the requirements for the plugin on it’s plugin page. Right now it says:

    “Requires WordPress Version: 2.0 or higher”

    Thanks again!

    Thx for the hint. I’ll update the requirements asap!
