hi everybody

i know there's a issue with Youtube video descriptions, that are returned in simple text with all the html stripped out

is it the same for Vimeo? i would need at least the newlines in the description to be kept, any workaround?

cheers

Hi,

Here is the official bug report for the "fancy" descriptions (other than plain text). In the meantime, here's a workaround to keep the line breaks. This method will also be upgrade proof - i.e. your changes will persist when you upgrade TubePress.

  • Find your "tubepress-content/plugins" directory. In standalone PHP TubePress installations, this would be at "tubepress_x_y_z/content/plugins". In WordPress, this directory is located at "wp-content/tubepress-content/plugins".

  • Make a directory inside the "plugins" directory there called "newlinetobr". So in WordPress, for example, the full path of the directory would be "wp-content/tubepress-content/plugins/newlinetobr"

  • Save the following PHP to a file inside this directory. Call it "newlinetobr.php". So the full path will be "wp-content/tubepress-content/plugins/newlinetobr/newlinetobr.php"

    <?phpclass NewLine2Br{     function alter_video(org_tubepress_api_video_Video $video, $videoProviderName)     {        $description = $video->getDescription();        $description = nl2br($description);        $video->setDescription($description);        return $video;     }}TubePress::registerFilter('video', new NewLine2Br());
Voila! That should do the trick.
