   Hi,

   I have trouble with using the plugin with custom fields.
   I've searched the forum, i found only one question about this.
   http://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-you-make-vipers-video-quicktags-to-work-with-a-custom-field-too
   but i don't catch the ideea.

   I want to have the video separated by the_content() - my design requires this. (like one box for video, one for content).

   I want to be able to put in a custom field someway [flv]location[/flv]
   and show on page the video.
   Can you help me?

   Thanks a lot!

   this one works for me, but how can i put in there a custom field?

   <?php echo apply_filters( 'the_content', '[flv]location[/flv]' ); ?>

   Put the URL in the custom field.

   <?php
   $videourl = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'some_key', true );
   if ( $videourl )
   	echo apply_filters( 'the_content', "[flv]$videourl[/flv]" );
   ?>

   Why can't I get this code to work in my theme? Here is my code,

   <div id="video">
   <div id="video-inside">
   <?php $videourl = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'video', true ); if ( $videourl )echo apply_filters( 'the_content', "[flv]$videourl[/flv]" ); ?>
   </div>
   </div>

   But when I load the page if loads blank. Does this no longer work?

   Replace the " " around [flv]$videourl[/flv] with ' '

   I am almost there - the video shows up in the right place but the URL isn't quite right...

   code used (as above but with vimeo tags instead):
   

   <?php
   $videourl = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'video', true );
   if ( $videourl )
   	echo apply_filters( 'the_content', '[vimeo]$videourl[/vimeo]' );
   ?>

   results on page:
   

   <span class="vvqbox vvqvimeo" style="width:635px;height:300px;"><iframe id="vvq-103-vimeo-1" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/$videourl?title=1&byline=1&portrait=0&fullscreen=1" width="635" height="300" frameborder="0"><a href="http://www.vimeo.com/$videourl">http://www.vimeo.com/$videourl</a></iframe></span>

   it seems to be the $videourl bit that is going wrong, but i'm afraid i don't know enough about PHP to figure out why!

   Hiya

   The $videourl variable is being passed as a string.
   Try this:

   <?php
   $videourl = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'video', true );
   if ( $videourl )
   echo apply_filters( 'the_content', '[vimeo]' . $videourl . '[/vimeo]' );
   ?>
