    Hi,

    I need some help here.

    I am making a sidebar widget and want to place your short code inside it.

    This sidebar widget will have place to select video and select image and option to make it play video in place or show as popup.

    the video can be youtube, vimeo, blip or any other (even local server).

    is there 1 short tag i can use to do this? or do i have to use diff tags for diff video types??

    ex

    if( $instance == ‘on’){

    //show in popup using ultimate lightbox shortcode

    }else{

    //play in place (may be using a flowplayer)

    }

    Hi, You will be able to directly embed a lightbox ultimate shortcode on the sidebar using an anchor text or image. When someone clicks on the text or image the video will pop up (this is how lightbox ultimate works).

    All the shortcodes are available in the Plugin Usage section of the plugin homepage:

    hi, thanks for the reply. I have tried that and it works fantastic.

    here i want to use your short code in a plugin code i am creating. Its just that I want to give the client a plugin which i he just needs to select from drop down and i code it for him. so he doesnt have to work around with the codes or tags..

    check this link. see the sidebar.

    i had used jwplayer the same way and used jwplayer_tag_callback() to convert the shortcode into actual script. is there something for flowplayer and your script??

    It’s good to hear that you solved it.

    You should be able to find the HTML equivalent code for a shortcode from the “view page source” option.
