Hi,

 

Could you describe what you're looking to do in a bit more detail? Thanks!

Of course, Eric!

I need a widget to publish at the home of my wordpress.

A mini player (with a slider) with a set of videos from youtube and vimeo (both) with a specific tag (for example: Barcelona). 

 

Thanks!

Got it. Thanks.

 

Yes, with TubePress (both free and Pro version) you can show a gallery of videos matching a certain tag. Here's an example for YouTube, and here is an example for Vimeo.

 

If you'd like to combine both Vimeo and YouTube videos into a single gallery, you can do this with TubePress Pro. Here's an example. So in your case you might have a TubePress shortcode that looks like this:

[tubepress mode="tag + vimeoSearch" tagValue="barcelona" vimeoSearchValue="barcelona"]

 

Does that answer your question? Let me know. Thank you.

Great! Thanks,

Is it possible to show the results into a slider (like nivo slider)?

A slider isn't a built-in feature of TubePress, but feature requests are always welcome! Features with the most votes will be implemented first.

I am trying to implement your short code. I have specified in the settings of tubepress that I only want videos from my vimeo user account.

 

[tubepress mode="vimeoSearch" vimeoSearchValue="value"]

 

However, it is returning all videos in my VIMEO PRO private account, unfiltered by the search value. I need to have both criteria met, my account & search value filtering.

 

... update

 

I have tried every combination I can find. I need help with short code for seeing 1) only videos from my VIMEO account and 2) that match a certain search criteria. 

 

The basic [tubepress] code displays all my videos only. however it is all. This makes sense since I specify my user id in the settings.

 

This code [tubepress mode="vimeoSearch" vimeoSearchValue="stars"] ignores my user account and pulls a bunch of videos that have stars.

 

This code [tubepress mode="vimeoSearch" vimeoSearchValue="stars" mode="vimeoUploadedBy" vimeoUploadedByValue="user21130119"] loads all my videos while ignoring the searching for stars.

 

This code [tubepress mode="vimeoUploadedBy" vimeoUploadedByValue="user21130119" mode="vimeoSearch" vimeoSearchValue="stars"] ignores my user account and loads videos with stars.

 

So I am assuming you can only have one 'mode' and that it uses the last one if others are there. 

 

So I see no way to do both? 

 

I tired using my userid as a search term, but that returned no videos.

 

help... thoughts...??

So I have scoured every area of documentation, forum support, and other pages... and found nothing that even hints at doing this simple thing. Load only videos from my account, and filter the results based on tags. 

 

It seems great if you want to just duplicate the search engine of public Vimeo. However, with the All Access $59 purchase, all I get is the same unfilterable results of just my account. I can only think that I am overlooking some obvious thing. Otherwise - you provide no way to select which of my accounts videos to show the customer. 

 

I was able to get the Ajax searching working "fine"... even tough it too searched all vimeo, not just my videos.

 

I've seen some questions on the forum that are two years old, and with no replies... I hope to wave my hands enough to get attention.  ;)

If this is not possible.. then I will need to know how to get a refund, as I will have to either code my own solution or find another. Please let me know.

I assume from the silence that there is no plans for support. I need direction on getting a refund. If I don't hear back in the next 24 hours, I'll contact my Credit Card company about a rejecting your charge.

Hello Todd,

 

I apologize for the delay in your response, TubePress and TubePress Pro members are not provided support during non-business days.

 

In answer to your question:

 

Please try [tubepress mode="vimeoSearch + vimeoUploadedBy" vimeoSearchValue="stars" vimeoUploadedByValue="user21130119"]

 

Let us know.

 

Thanks!

I did try that combination. It adds video thumbnails of a search for 'stars' across all public videos on Vimeo, and then adds all the videos uploaded by the user below that. It needed to be only videos that meet both criteria.

 

I would have been okay with the lack of support over the weekend, if there was better documentation. I suggest for your user benefit that you provide many examples of shortcode implementation. The documentation is a reference to function. I did find your examples of code, and it showed the short code for it. That is a step in the right direction. Perhaps examples of combining the shortcode you reference?

 

Having said that, I still do not believe your product can do what I am asking, so it may be a moot point.

Hi Todd,

 

Please try: [tubepress mode="vimeoSearch" vimeoSearchValue="stars" searchResultsRestrictedToUser="user21130119"]

 

Unfortunately, as your Vimeo Account is private, I am not able to test this shortcode before presenting it to you.

 

Please test on your site and let us know.

 

Thanks!
