    Embed/Upload media in all posts[blog,forum,comments] is not working for me.Upload media working fine,but when i click on  Embed media a Dropdown menu "All"appears.I can't see any blank field where i can add embed code.Help plz!
    • While the embed plugin works for graphics I have the same issue as Trajan - I only get a link when embedding and mp3. Is this what is SUPPOSED to happen? I hope it isn't as I really want to be able to embed an mp3 played into blog posts and pages. If this is the current default behaviour (i.e. just embeds a link) then does anyone have a way of doing what I want.

      I've tried aaudio and this works for a playlist in the profile and dashboard but I want to embed in the blog itself.

      I know the last post to this was 101 days ago (!) but I's still like a solution! (egg v1.6.1)

    • There is a problem with Firefox using the wrong mime type wheb I upload an mp3 (created in Audacity) - it seems to use audio/mpg and not audio/mpeg. Uploading via Safari (and I suspect IE) the audio player will appear in the files area (it wasn't before) but I still ONLY have a link in a blog post ater using embed.

    • FIX for MIME issue in files list

      Some mp3 files are uploaded (this may be a Firefox only problem) with the wrong MIME type - "audio/mpg" instead of "audio/mpeg". This means that the audio player is not displayed when the file is listed.

      This can be fixed by hacking the mime type on listing in the file

      mod/file/views/default/object/file.php

      At about line 23 under the line "$mime=$file->mimetype;" add


          if ( strcmp($mime,"audio/mpg") == 0) {
              $mime = "audio/mpeg";
          }

      Now the audio player should appear if the files mime type is either of these.

      I still want to embed the audio file in a blog post though....

  • sherlock replied on the discussion topic Compatability Quiz for members in the group Plugin Development
    Here is a fantastic idea for a plugin ... members fill out a personality quiz and it matches them with other members on the site. For example, something like eHarmony :-), but we could use any number of tests, as thought up by the...
