Re: [ORPHAN] arc_recent_youtube

has anyone been using this plugin? simplepie never fails to give me a headache. simplepie is in the lib folder, and it also even made its own cache folder called simplepie_cache. now visit the page where it’s supposed to get called and:

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/editedPath/public_html/textpattern/lib/simplepie.inc’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /editedPath/public_html/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(594) : eval()’d code on line 37

Re: [ORPHAN] arc_recent_youtube

How does this plugin display all the recent videos?

Ages since I last looked at this plugin, but as far as I remember the videos are output separated in the standard Textpattern way by defining the break tag using the break attribute. By default it separates videos using a new line (<br />). Does this answer your question?

Re: [ORPHAN] arc_recent_youtube

Is it possible to display them horizontally?

- presumably it should be easy to modify the code a little to achieve this, but I’ve no idea how to do that.

Does break="" help?

Re: [ORPHAN] arc_recent_youtube

Thanks. I don’t know.
I thought that might be css – googled it and apparently its not.
Then noticed break in the code
Tried these:

break="0"
break =
break = ""
deleting the entire line

- none of them worked. I’m assuming if you remove the break the video players will flow horizontally.

Re: [ORPHAN] arc_recent_youtube

……not sure that’s clear. So far as I can see the relevant code to edit is this:

'simplepie' => $txpcfg['txpath'].'/lib/simplepie.inc',
                     'vlabel'    => '1',
		'vlabeltag' => 'h4',
		'break'     => 'br',
		'wraptag'   => '',
		'class'     => __FUNCTION__
    ),$atts));

etc
And possibly this:

return doLabel($label, $labeltag).doWrap($out, $wraptag, $break, $class);

Re: [ORPHAN] arc_recent_youtube

OK now I’m getting somewhere. For some reason I had to disable vlabel:

'vlabel'    => '0',

Re: [ORPHAN] arc_recent_youtube

I guess Oleg/etc meant adding break="" as an attribute to your arc_recent_youtube tag.

Re: [ORPHAN] arc_recent_youtube

Thanks. I don’t understand that, however. The tag is this –

<txp:arc_recent_youtube user=“bbc” />

So would it simply be this?

<txp:arc_recent_youtube user=“bbc” break=""/>

- I’ll try that. However, I’ve got other problems and can’t do anything at the moment

Re: [ORPHAN] arc_recent_youtube

Watch your smart quotes, James–

<txp:arc_recent_youtube user=“bbc” />

…should be:

<txp:arc_recent_youtube user="bbc" />

I’m not sure what effect it would have to use whizzy quotes, but Bad Stuff might happen. Brrr.
