Problem with playing in widget

[Solved]

Christine Goyette 13 years, 7 months ago

Hi,

Awesome player. Works beautifully in a post.

Now I want to put the player in the side widget. If I just put the shortcode in it, it doesn’t play. What do I need to paste in there to make it work?

Thanks so much!
Christine

Hi Christine,

if you’re using the text widget, then you need just the normal shortcode to be placed there.

If you want to place the video in the sidebar directly in the template you’ll need to wrap in into a php code, see our FAQ How do I insert flowplayer object outside the post, for example to a sidebar? for details.

Thanks so much Zdenka! I had placed the shortcode in there just like you said and it had shown up (box with splash immage and button) but wouldn’t play. Now I realize that may have happened because I had left the video to be replaced in there. Maybe that created some conflict? Anyways, when I re-did it and deleted the other code, it worked beautifully.

Thanks so much for a great and easy to use player AND for this AWESOME support with the user guide, FAQ, super fast responses. And all of it FREE. Really: THANKS!!

Hi Christine,

Glad we could help you.

It’s not really free. It costs me a ton of money every month.
