You completely set me on the right path… THANKS!

Since I’m using Toolsets “Views” plugin, I came up with some neat code to overlay the word video:

[wpv-if video_thumbnail="_video_thumbnail" evaluate="!empty($video_thumbnail)"]
 <div class="overlaywordsvideo">VIDEO!</div>
[/wpv-if]

The only problem is that now I realize that some of our articles have LINKS to videos. And with the newer wordpress Oembed, even those links are triggering your plugin to create thumbnails. I only want to highlight posts WITH videos, not linked to videos.. sigh..

We decided to go with an admin checkbox after all so we can manually differentiate.

Hi Tobias – Thanks for the response!

I now tried the newest version (Wasn’t out when I posted the above) and it seems to have solved the random problems.

The one thing it doesn’t solve is that on POSTS there is a STATUS column that is only on the far RIGHT. It’s grey and completely non-accessible from your plugin.

It’s probably been put there by the “Edit-Flow” plugin. It’s a bunch of normal and custom Status’s. I also use “Toolsets” “Types and Views” plugin… but I don’t this is part of this issue.

Since Edit Flow is fairly popular, perhaps a future update can be made to work with it properly. Yours and their are terrific plugins and a natural fit for larger sites. Being able to sort by Status would make all-too-much sense!

I should point out I also have your extension.

If you need to get more info from me or access. Please get in touch. I’m happy to help.
