How can I make this widget align left, right or center. At the moment its aligned right on my sidebar and it looks awkward. I would like to align it left or center. Please help.
Here’s the site: http://www.rtjconsultants.com/wordpress
Thanks
Hi Barney,
It aligns right in your case, because your site style sheet says so.
Have you noticed that on your left column, everything starts after the bullet of your widget title?
There is no way to allow your widget content to start before the title bullet, unless you change the codes in your stylesheet.

hi,
If I want a couple of lines of text to show underneath the video, how would I do this? I’ve tried adding them at various points in the php file with no luck.
cheers:)

Hi,
Please use the Video Sidebar Widgets, instead of Vimeo sidebar widgets. It has a video caption option.

Hey Denzel,
Firstly thanks for developing the plugin.
I need to link the title of the widget to a URL – It’s not possible to add html into the widget title field and I can’t figure out in the vimeo-sidebar-widget.php where to hard-code it in – could you help?
thanks :)

Hi Jonny,
You cannot put in HTML code into any of the options fields because of a strip_tags php function.
This function strips all HTML tags, so as to prevent user from pasting malicious scripts into it.
if you want to put html links in widget title, search for codes that resemble the following;
$instance['title'] = strip_tags( $instance['title'] );
and change them to;
$instance['title'] = $instance['title'];
That will allow the html links to appear.
Lastly, you can always hire me for this modification, if you are not able to do it yourself.

Denzel
Hey Denzel – thanks for the quick response.
It works in that i can now enter html tags – the only problem is that in the sidebar, the html code is not rendered – it displays as:
<a href="#" rel="nofollow">Multimedia</a>, rather than the link itself.Also when i hit ‘save’ in the widget options, it saves as: <a href= even though it displays the full doe on the page.
Any ideas?
thanks,
J
oops – the linked word ‘multimedia’ should be the full a=href code
Hi Jonny,
I think WordPress by default changes all html tags to character entities for all Widget Titles. You can read about character entities here. Same theory, to prevent flash or javascripts that are malicious to run on the blog.
Anyway use the video sidebar widgets emailed to you. It is a modified copy. You can put HTML links in the video caption.

Hi,
This widget is to display any vimeo video in your blog sidebar.
To display a video about you describing your blog, you need to sign up a free account with vimeo at vimeo.com
Take a video of yourself describing your blog. Use a program such as Ulead Video Studio SE11 to edit your video. You can crop, insert titles, add music, add voice over, etc.. using Ulead Video Studio.
Compress your custom video into mp4 (please refer to vimeo for other acceptable compressions) and upload to your vimeo account. (click on upload link in vimeo account and walk through options)
Wait for vimeo to convert your uploaded video to flash video. Click on video link and vimeo will display your uploaded video in your account.
Take note of the url of your video, it should be something like http://www.vimeo.com/3158253
Login into your blog, select appearance, select Widgets, add vimeo widget, drag to the desire position, click edit.
Copy only the number and paste it in the Video ID of Vimeo Widget and key in the width and height of video (not wider than your sidebar width) select all other options.
Make sure no options left unselected or blank.
Lastly, click done and click save changes on the current widgets column.
Visit your site to see the embed video in your sidebar.
Re do all options if the size is not correct. I used width 200 and height 150 for my sidebar video.
Thats all!
Thank you for your interest in my widget plugin, Hope the above long winded explanations are of use to you.
Regards,
Denzel :)
Denzel,
Thank you for the long explanation it’s appreciated I’m going to try it.. Do I need access to my ftp files to use this or can it all be done from my admin account with wordpress?

Click on the install at the right hand corner. A overlay dialog box will appear. Click on the Install Now button at top right hand corner. Wait for a while. A message saying Installing Plugin: Vimeo Sidebar Widget will appear. Click on the activate plugin at the bottom left and the plugin will be successfully installed and activated.

Hi Denzel,
It did not work
Downloading plugin package from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/vimeo-sidebar-widget.zip
Unpacking the plugin package
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class pclzip in /homepages/38/d98864961/htdocs/ak/nbapicks/wp-admin/includes/class-pclzip.php on line 171
Im using 1 and 1 for hosting.. Should that matter?
Hi,
Since your hosting is able to host your wordpress blog. The hosting is not a problem. if i am not wrong, you downloaded from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/vimeo-sidebar-widget/. If you download the plugin from wordpress.org, do not unzip it. Save it in your computer.
Log into your blog admin dashboard. go to add plugins-> add new, click browse and a window will appear. Select the zip file from your computer and click open and click install. Follow through any other instructions. You will be able to install.
Regards,
Denzel
