hi
I am trying to include the JWPlayer into a Joomla article which I pass a PHP variable to.
The var is correctly displayed in the article,
but I am not able to correctly trigger the plugin.
I would like to have that page displaying dynamic videos according to the var I am passing.
Can you suggest me how to do that?
The code I am using it is not working.
Thanks
Does something like this work?
bc.. title: "<?php echo $var; ?>"
I will try to post more details.
This is the Joomla page in which I want to display videos:
http://www.dummysite.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=94&videopassato=video1.mp4
The var $videopassato is correctly received by the page.
Indeed if I use the PHP print command I see it.
In the Joomla article (with DirectPHP plugin enabled) I use this code
[code]
<?php
$jinput = JFactory::getApplication()->input;
$foo = $jinput->get('videopassato');
$foo2 = "{jwplayer}http://www.dummysite.com/images/fabrik/videos/".$foo"{/jwplayer}";
print $foo2;
?>
[/code]
Unfortunately in the generated page sources this is what I see.
As you notice the video file name is not present in the code JWPlayer plugin generates.
Can you tell me what I am missing ??
[code]
<span class="jwbox">
<a href="#">Click to watch the player in a Pop-Up</a>
<span class="jwbox_hidden">
<span class="jwbox_content"><span id='jwplayerplg94idb61a37fc775ecf63ee558f31302bfb47pop'>You must have <a href="http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer">the Adobe Flash Player</a> installed to view this player. </span>

You can do that, but then you need to set the player’s type variable to mp4.

I 've already tried to add a "&type=mp4 to the string passed
and even tried with an FLV video.
no luck.
is the code and procedure I'm using correct?
