Advanced Videobox
With this plugin you can add videos to your sidebar (or any other widgetized area of your site). Just copy and paste code of the video into the Advanced widget.
The Youtube’s original video code doesn’t pass W3C validation. The filtered video code of the Advanced Videobox will keep your site XHTML valid. Of course only in case the site was valid beforehand
.
See sidebar for Advanced Videobox in action.
Latest version 1.0.1
Features
- Web 2.0 graphics
- Plugin outputs XHTML valid code
- Change sizes of the video comfortably through widget panel
- Easily customizable CSS
- Add up to 20 videos
How-to
- Download plugin from WordPress repository.
- Unzip and upload it to \wp-content\plugins\. Or you can go to the admin panel:
- Plugins –> Add New
- Type “advanced videobox” into the search field.
- Install.
- Drag the widget instance to the widget panel of your choice
- Choose number of videos and SAVE widget to see correct number of the input fields.
- Add width and height of the videos
- Add title and code for each video
- If you want to display customized video player, you have to check “Enable parameters”. Don’t do that if you want to keep code of the video XHTML valid.

Hi, I tried the plugin and have a problem. I use WP 2.9.2. I add the widget to the sidebar and add the video code: no problem but it doesn’t show up right. I don’t see the video and the bars with the videos are too long for my sidebar. Any idea why the video doesn’t show? http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e89/shadaliza/misc/advancedvideobox.jpg
hi, I really want to make this plugin work for me. I am using it for a website which is on an Ancient Script. Instead of asking my users to download a font I created to display the unicode characters, I will just use your plugin. However, this error returned when i activated it:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/oedph/domains/banyuhay.co.cc/public_html/wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-cufon/wordpress_cufon.php on line 25
and then when i try to access the setting page, it says that i do not have permission to access the page, although I am the admin of the site.
Hello… liked the concept and it sort of worked when I had nothing else on my sidebar and the minute I added anything else, the video window disappeared with only the slider buttons visible and when I click on them… Nothing happens. the video window doesn’t comeback. Here is the test site that will replace the Expression site…

Hi,
could you please use the jQuery library that WordPress brings along using wp_enqueue_script()? I have a user complaining about your plugin not working with my plugin (jQuery Colorbox).
Here is a little how to:

Hi Tom,
I have the same query as stephaine, how can we get this widget working in a post…
At the moment the plugin doesn’t support shortcodes. But it’s planned.
Hi Tom,
is the plugin WordPress 3 compatible?
Many plugins claim they are, but many give me real headaches.
Thanks,
Evgania
yes the plugin is WP 3.0 compatible
Great plugin! One question though:
Is there a way of having the playback of a video automatically stop when a different video is selected?
Cheers

I will look on it in future versions. Thanks for pointing that out.
Hi, the plugin worked partly for me.. The big box at the top has a still image and the video will play when clicked. I have a list of the rest of the videos below but the small boxes on the left don’t show any image, only the videocam gray one. Any ideas? Thanks
It’s a problem of youtube.
How do you get your images to work..if u say its a Utube problem.. Having same issue..I cant display any images in the avatar section and I can only display 1 video..upload another and then none of them work at all.
Little disappointed here.. I see other issues as well..have fixed yet? I’m gonna have to keep looking for a better plugin..sorry can’t donate here

Now, I understand. This plugin seems to only work with YouTube videos. At first, when I tried an embed videos from someplace else, the plugin didn’t work. But when I tried YouTube videos, the plugin works. Thanks.
