Advanced Videobox
23 Feb
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
You can add up to 20 videos. Music, tutorials, ads or whatever you want.
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.
In the your youtube.com, click the wheel and play around with the colors of the player.

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…
Hi Tom,
is the plugin WordPress 3 compatible?
Many plugins claim they are, but many give me real headaches.
Thanks,
