[Elgg 1.8-1.12 & 2.X - 4.X: iZAP Videos - revised edition by iionly] v1.10.9
Release Notes
- Rework of playpopup view code,
- Fixed href of "Reset to defaults" button on plugin settings page,
- Do not enable EMBED video option by default or on resetting to defaults,
- On saving plugin settings check value entered for max allowed video file size setting against value set for php variable upload_max_filzesize and reduce limit to this value if necessary (upload_max_filzesize is the server-side absolute upper limit),
- Trigger video conversion queue on deletion of a video only if it's an on-server video,
- Suggested optimized convert command updated to match current ffmpeg option names again (tested with ffmpeg version 3.0 - 3.2),
- When using the Widget Manager plugin display/not display Tidypics group widgets according to each groups' settings.
Is there a chance or has it been suggested that there be an option to download the original video if the server is configured to save them?
It hasn't been suggested yet. I can keep it in mind and maybe add such a download option when I have some time to spare to work on the iZAP Videos plugin.
I've made some changes in a more recent version (2.3.5) that should have fixed the issue with some Youtube videos failing to be added. Due to lack of time I couldn't backport these changes. Sorry. But I can no longer support any versions of my plugins for Elgg 1.x but have to concentrate rather on Elgg 2.x (a bit) and 3.x (mostly in future).
looking for simple "link" buttons that can uplaod tidy pics & izap vids...
@VSR you can take a look in the code of my hypeWall-iZAP Videos and Tidypics plugin (https://elgg.org/plugins/1914043) even if you don't use the hypeWall. In start.php of this plugin you'll find the URLs (href attribute) to use to get to the "Add videos" / "Add photos" forms. Where you make use of it depends on what you want. I can't give you and more detailed info without any context.
