Embeding swf and video in joomla

July 14, 2009

Last time, I use plugin “Allvideo” for embedding swf and other videos. It is very easy and simple. But, the video will always have the same size. If I change the size then all videos will be changed.

With “denvideo” I can adjust every individual video. It is so easy and flexible.

First, download the plugin or mambot. I have joomla 1.0.0, so I download bot_denvideo for joomla 1.0. Find the download page in their site. Then go to your joomla site, in installation mambot. Upload and install it then don’t forget to publish it. That’s all, you are ready to embed your video/ swf.

The video/ swf can be in your own server, or in other server; what you need is the URL.

DenVideo Suports:
+ .SWF (Flash Applications)
+ .FLV & .H264 (Flash Videos)
+ .CLASS (Java Applet)
+ .JPG & .GIF & .PNG (images)
+ .MOV & .MP4 (Quicktime),
+ .RM & .RAM (Realmedia),
+ .MP3 (Audio)
+ .DIVX & .AVI (HD Videos)
+ .WMV & .WMA (Windows Media)
+ Metacafe.com
+ Brightcove.com
+ YouTube.com
+ video.Google.com
+ video.Yahoo
+ godtube.com

This is how you write in your content :
{denvideo URL WIDTH} = auto set size based on Width
{denvideo URL WIDTH HEIGHT} = set custom Width and Height
{denvideo URL WIDTH HEIGHT AUTOSTART} = customize Width, Height and set if the video starts automatically (true/false)

WIDTH/HEIGHT : is the pixel number you want for the video, if you want to have different from the default.

AUTOSTART : put true/false, if you want to have different from the default.

The default itself can be modified in the mambot manager.

Enjoy your joomla!!
