In reply to: Unable to play m4v video filesIn the past I’ve just changed the extension of the videos from .m4v to .mp4 and they would play.

In reply to: Video needs default size setting and thumbnail abilityI know I can hand-change the height and width adtributes after the short code is inserted but having a default setting (just like how it is for still images) would be ideal. I run a website with multiple authors, some are not very fluent in messing with these numbers so it would be much better to have a default value.
Also is there an atrribute for a placeholder image file? If the video starts playing and put into pause it holds the image but having a blank rectangle on the page would look strange to many. Even having a standard placeholder image (where I can put something saying ‘Press here for video’ would be better than a grey box.

In reply to: New media upload window could be improvedThe problem with this insistence of WordPress and many others to depend on drag-n-drop is that many of us don’t work on 27″ computer monitors and have many application windows opened and/or we have files to upload organized into folders buried within other folders (I have image files organized into main-directory/year/month directories making it a hassle to open these folders to do drag-n-drop).
The WordPress team has done a great job advancing the software forward but I wish there was some leeway to keep previous UI designs.
Truthfully I prefer the older 3.4.x UI for adding media. I know I’m very much at fault for not using the beta versions submitting my concerns during development. Teaches me to not be involved for feedback until after the fact.
Anyone know of the best plugin to automatically publicize posts on facebook and/or twitter?
The plugin has been updated, this issued is resolved.

In reply to: Gallery images need a caption gutter and feature requestFound out it had something to do with the JetPack plugin. Adding this to my CSS code fixed the problem.

In reply to: New media upload window could be improved100% agree that default action upon using ‘Add Media’ should be Upload Files like it was before.
I hate that the file info section is now a sidebar as it’s way too narrow and far off to the side. I work on a 15″ laptop screen, I can only image how far off to the side it would be on a 27″ screen. Plus it’s diffcult to see much of the URLs in the field and reading decent sized text blocks is a pain. See the map caption on this page and you’ll understand why seeing a big block of text is important. Before at least I had a good sized edit window in the description field which could then be copy/pasted into the caption field.
And yes, please allow for Featured image to be set without exiting the insert image into post window. It’s causing us to do double the work dealing with that window twice which can be a pain when working off a cellular connection due to bandwidth issues.
Now both our fanpage and posts in the timeline both have the blue gravatar.
Please Jeremy, if you could just put an upload button/url field (like many other settings in WordPress) so we can specify our own avatar/logo to be shown by Publicize when it can’t figure-out the featured image for a post. This would at least solve this problem for the time being.
I have the same problem with the blue ‘Gravatar’ being posted on Facebook.
On my website’s facebook fanpage I was able to change the gravatar by changing our WordPress.com gravatar, but when the posts show-up on normal timelines away from the fanpage the blue gravatar shows-up again.
It would be MUCH better to let us specify the avatar for use by publicize instead of it taking a wild guess as to what it should be.
For an example see this link.
I don’t believe you can get rid of it as that’s how the click-tracking works. Same as if you have an Amazon.com ad which will have a very long URL.
What you can do when creating the links is shown below. That way when the person mouses over the ad it will display the page title, the image title will show-up before the image loads if the person is on a slow connection, it should also show if they have some kind of image ad blocker.
<a href="%link%" title="PAGE-TITLE"><img src="%image%" alt="IMAGE-TITLE" /></a>Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [AdRotate Banner Manager] Way to use Alt Image instead of swf in AdRotate?Okay, I cracked this nut and here’s the code:
<a href="%link%"><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="300" height="250" id="AdRotate%id%"> <param name="movie" value="%image%" /> <!--[if !IE]>--> <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="%image%" width="300" height="250"> <!--<![endif]--> <img src="/wp-content/banners/Alt-Image.jpg" alt="Company" /> <!--[if !IE]>--> </object> <!--<![endif]--> </object></a>Replace any width/height values to the size of your flash/banner ad, replace Alt-Image.jpg with your alternate image, replace Company with a text message that will be hyperlinked should the browser not be able to display either the Flash or Alternate Image.
If there’s anything funky looking in this code please let me know via comments below. I’m not programmer and I just hacked this together via several scripts online.
