Hi,
we try to integrate flowplayer with light box at our new side:
http://www.bgmmitsystem.de/The first Slider at home has text link “Video starten”
which should open the lightbox. The link is defined as:
<a href="http://static.pro54.com/bgmSuitePlus-sd.mp4">Video starten</a>The PlugIn works in general, see:
http://www.bgmmitsystem.de/video/
(embeded with short code)The Scripts and Styles seems to be loaded as required and
there are no JS warnings or errors.May someone help?
Thanks an best regards,
Christof

I did some further testing and it seems,
that this kind of link only works if it is used in posts.If I place the link elsewhere (footer.php, slider,..)
it won’t work…
Problem:
the simple integration of flowplayer with lightbox as a textlink
just works if the link is embeded in a post or pageWorkaround:
to use this feature everywhere in another plugin or template
add the link in a post/page which will be rendered at the same url like this:<p id="player-wrapper" style="display: none;">
<a class="colorbox" href="url/to/video.mp4">my text link</a>
</p>at the place where the text link should be use:
<div id="player-position"><p><a href="backfall/link/to/video.mp4" >my text link</a></p></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function() {
jQuery('p','#player-position').remove();
jQuery('#player-position').append(jQuery('#player-wrapper').detach());
jQuery('#player-wrapper').show();
});
</script>This way the plugin will create a player which isn’t visible to users. After the page is loaded the integrated javascript will replace your dummy link with the generated flowplayer code.
To developers:
in my case it would help if the parsing of `<a class="colorbox"` would be done in general, like shortcodes are: e.g. I can use shortcodes for flowplayer in other plugins like a slider but the text link as described doesn’t work.
Hello jdmariano,
you are right about this. We only process this HTML with the_content filter.
If you want to enable this for any widgets, you can put this into your theme functions.php file:
global $FV_Player_pro;
add_filter( 'widget_text', array( $FV_Player_pro, 'lightbox_add' ) );If you want to use such HTML anywhere in theme, you can use:
`<?php echo apply_filters( 'the_content', '<a href="your-video.mp4">test</a>' ); ?>`
But that already makes it easier to use the shortcode:
`<?php echo do_shortcode '[fvplayer src="video.mp4" lightbox="true"]' ); ?>`
But I see that the shortcode doesn’t produce the text link to the video, so that might be the missing part here.
Thanks,
Martin

Hi Martin,
thanks for your response!
That’s much easier to use and I will try this way on monday.
It would be great if the shortcode could produce text links in future too, because you can’t make any configuration of the text links.(So only a JS work around may solve this, by replacing the image through text dynamically)
Thanks and best regards,
Christof
