  • 13 years ago in reply to: How to stop autoplay on a page revisit
    Dave Williams

    Hi again…

    After a little research I’ve found that I can set a cookie in WP for a new visitor if I place the following code in my theme’s functions.php file…

    // Set cookie for new user
    function set_newuser_cookie() {
    if (!isset($_COOKIE)) {
    setcookie(‘newvisitor’, 1, time()+86400, COOKIEPATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN, false);
    }
    }
    add_action( ‘init’, ‘set_newuser_cookie’);

    To access the cookie and stop autoplay for a returning visitor where would I place something like the following in Flowplayer…

    if (isset($_COOKIE)) {
    echo ‘don’t play video’;
    }
    else {
    echo ‘play video the first time’;
    }

    thx… dave

    Hi Zdenka… nice to hear from you again.

    Can you give me an idea where I might start developing a cookie?

    I’ll look for some javascript and after I discover what may work, where would it be inserted in the plugin to stop autoplay on a page revisit?

    thx… dave

    Okey dokey… I understand… thx

    In http://flowplayer.org/documentation/skinning/branding.html there is an example that identifies the text for the replayLabel as “Play again”…

    // default settings for the play button
    play: {

    /*
    relative path to the play button, this can be a JPG, PNG or SWF file.
    NOTE: the button can only be changed in the commercial versions
    */
    url: ‘play.swf’,

    // all display properties, except the z-index, can be modified in all versions
    opacity: 0.8,

    // label text; by default there is no text
    label: null,

    // label text at end of video clip
    replayLabel: ‘Play again’,

    /*
    progress indicator – this is shown while video is being loaded.
    it is always in the same place as the play button.
    */
    // how fast progress indicator fades out after video is loaded
    fadeSpeed: 500,

    // how fast buffering animation rotates
    rotateSpeed: 50

    }

    Therefore… Couldn’t the opacity be set to 0.0 for this function and then the label would be invisible??

    … dave

    Is the play again button the same as the play button?

    Over on the Flowplayer support site they suggest you remove the play image by

    onLoad: function() {
    this.getPlugin(‘play’).css({opacity: 0});
    }

    or

    <script language=”javascript”>
    // our custom configuration is given in third argument
    flowplayer(“playerContainer”, “path/tohttp://releases.flowplayer.org/swf/flowplayer-3.2.7.swf”,{
    play: null
    // or play: {opacity: 0}
    });
    </script>

    any thoughts on my next step?

    thx… dave

    Thanks. I’ll definitely be buying.

    Where is the play again button image stored? Perhaps I can change the actual icon image or make it smaller.

    thx again… dave

    Thanks for the details… I appreciate it.

    So what is the cost to purchase a license so that I can remove the logo branding and when I buy that license, will I be able to remove the PlayAgain button?

    thanks so much… dave

    On a previous version of FV Flowplayer the logo disappeared a few seconds after it was displayed and I was also able to change the PlayAgain icon to Share.

    Please see http://realestatecareertraps.com/about/keystone-partners-group-leadership-team/

    Should I use version 1.06 instead of the latest version1.1

    thx again… dave

    Fantastic… worked like a charm… you’re terrific.

    Last question… is there a way to remove the Flowplayer copyright that is displayed when I mouse over the video?
    And can I remove the playagain button?

    thx… dave

    Thanks..

    Made the suggested pages but the video doesn’t play with a transparent canvas…. it uses a black gradient.

    Can you view ‘http://www.vlinkwisdom.com/about/our-team/dw-test/&#8217; and perhaps you might have an idea as to what I should next edit.

    thx… dave

    Happy New Year Zdenka… hope you enjoyed the holidays.

    Thanks for the quick reply. In line 182 do I replace
    backgroundColor:”.trim($this->conf).”
    with
    backgroundColor:’transparent’
    and do I need to add a new line
    backgroundGradient:’none’

    Thanks for the help… dave

    Dave Williams

    Thanks Zdenka

    I replaced style=”top: ‘.round($height/2-45).’px; border:0;” with style=”position: absolute; left: 10px; border:0;” and I now have exactly what I needed.

    Such a great plugin to work with….

    15 years ago in reply to: How to resize play button?
    Dave Williams

    Thanks for the info on how to adjust the size of play button… having a smaller button really made a difference.

    Is there a way to move the button to the top right or left of the play window? I found the code which I believe centers the button ($height/2-45). What could I use to shift the button to a different location?

    thx…
