A Wordpress theme to trasform your blog into a YouTube-like website

Current version: 01.03/2009-03-16

VideographEx is a theme for Wordpress blog platform. This theme transforms your blog into a YouTube-like website with a layout thought for distribution of multimedia contents

Using this theme you can distribute video locally uploaded or just available on some video platform such as

Blip.tv Spike.com Flickr Video
Google Video Metacafe MySpace Video
Dailymotion.com Veoh Vimeo
YouTube    

 

This theme makes some changes in your blog homepage to show, for every post, non only title and excerpt but also thumbnail of the first video in the post. Thumbnail has taken directly from external video platform when available.

This image shows the standard theme layout with some videos posted.

VideographEx Demo 

If external video platform doesn’t support thumbnail (only MySpace at this time) or you don’t like default thumbnail or your post doesn’t have video, theme give you alternative methods to select a thumbnail.

Another change makes by theme involves the post page. Here the first video included in the post is always shown at the top of the post wherever you put this video when create post. This gives your site a look and feel similar to other video platform such YouTube.

Post page example

Include videos in you post is simple too. This theme use Viper’s quicktag plug-in to add to Wordpress editor a toolbar with support for many external video provider and include a video is so simple as copy and paste the URL video you see in the address bar when you see video in the remote site.

Editor example

If you want more information about theme feature, you can take a look to this video.

If you want to take a more inside look, there is a demo website that use this theme.

How to install

This theme must be installed on an empty blog. I don’t suggest to install it on an existing blog with posts.

First of all you must install Viper’s quicktag plugin. This is a standard wordpress plugin so you can install it directly from your plugin page in the admin panel.

I’d also suggest getting Lester Chan’s WP PostRatings plugin as it allows users to rate your videos and adds a lot to the site. This is another standard plugin so you can install and activate directly from admin panel.

This is an official Wordpress theme so you can download it from the offical Wordpress theme directory or directly install it from your admin panel. Else you can download this theme from here and unzip it in wp-content/themes Wordpress folder or uncompress all files in your local computer and upload them in your remote website via FTP under a folder wp-content/themes/VideographEx.

Then, go to your themes manager under admin panel and activate this theme.

Create an empty page called “Archives” and apply the XHTML Sitemap template to the page. In other words, in Wordpress, click on “Write”, and then below that click on “Page”. You want to create a new page, not a post. Make the title of this page “Archives”. You don’t have to add any other text or anything. Just scroll down until you see a section called “Page Template”. Click it and then click the drop-down box there and you should see xhtmlsitemap as an option. Select that and publish the page. This will give the top navigation link “Categories:” a destination.

As an alternative to the stable archive above, you can install a development version of this plugin directly from its SVN location. Change to the 'themes' directory and install the plug from SVN

svn co https://svn.micso.net:666/bruni/wp/VideoGraphEx/trunk/VideoGraphEx VideoGraphEx

If all this seems confusing, take a look at this video that shows how to install VideographEx on a fresh Wordpress.

How to upgrade

First of all, take a look to ChangeLog for changes between your version and the latest.

From 1.2 to 1.3

Solved only some bugs and added a workaround for Vimeo thumbnails. All these changes involves functions.php so, to upgrade, you could only overwrite functions.php in your website.

From 1.1 to 1.2

A few changes in this upgrade. If you are not interested in left-header logo image you can simply overwrite functions.php inside your theme directory and nothing of your graphics will change and you will have support for f4v thumbnail.

Remember however that pseudo-streaming support for mod_h264_streaming module for lighttpd and apache is currently an unsupported functionality of viper's plugin.

In his forum Viper informs that it's just enable, in his standard plugin, the possibility to activare mod_h264_streaming using this sintax:

[flv flashvars="streamer=lighttpd"]http://yourdomain/youpath/youvideofile.f4v[/flv]

Download

Genesi

This theme comess from a parent theme called Videograph and developed by ZoomStart. VideographEx inherts from its parent the general idea of trasform a blog into a multimedia distribution website and the general layout of index and post pages.

But VidegrapherEx try to complete some lacks of the origin theme. As an example, Videgraph support only YouTube video and no videos from other sites while VideographEx support many more videos as explained above.

Besides Videgraph use custom field to select the video to embed VidegraphEx use Viper’s quicktime that, almost for me, are more intuitive, simple to use and to mantain.

VideographEx shares however more code with Videograph and, in fact, VideographEx is backward compatible with Videograph syntax so if you have a blog with Videograph and wish to upgrade to VideographEx you can do without lost your videos.

Thanks to Shane of ZoomStart

Credits

This a modding of ZoomStart Videograph theme. Thanks to Shane for having shared his code with us via GPL license. Without his theme, this theme shouldn’t be born.

Hello Emilliano,
How might I add a logo to the right of the header text in VideographEx?
It's a great theme, and I'm starting to use it.

5.Emiliano Bruni il 2009-02-27 13:09:12 ha scritto:

You can modify header.php inside VideographEx folder to add your logo or modify every elements in the pages header. Take a look now at

http://www.devtv.eu/vgex-demo/

for an example of website with a logo to the left of text header. In the same way, you can add a logo to the right.

Hello Emiliano,
Thank you for the great theme. I have added videos from YouTube, blip.tv and others.

However, videos from Vimeo do not show as thumbnails. You only get a grey box. Is there special code for Vimeo?

14.Emiliano Bruni il 2009-03-09 15:49:51 ha scritto:

Hi, Phil, as you can see here

http://www.devtv.eu/vgex-demo/page/2/

my example of Vimeo thumbnail works fine. Can you supply me an example URL where Vimeo video thumbnail is not working so I can reproduce your problem and find what's wrong.

15.Jeton il 2009-03-10 21:28:22 ha scritto:

@ emiliano, you theme works great under 2.7.1 but not on wp 2.6.5 and one more thing you forgot a $ for title in functions.php row 179

return '

16.Phil il 2009-03-14 13:31:02 ha scritto:

The url is www.datingvidz.com. You can see the first video dooes not have a thumbnail. The img src
tag is blank.

Also, I could see the Custom Fields, but I do not have a field named vids. When I try to enter "vids" as a new custom field, I get this error message: "An unidentified error has occurred."

I'm using Wordpress 2.7.1.

17.Emiliano Bruni il 2009-03-15 15:58:32 ha scritto:

@Phil, it's a bug of Vimeo API. I send a bug report here

http://www.vimeo.com/forums/topic:11826

However, in the SVN repository there is an updated version that bypass this problem as you can also see in VideoGraphEx online demo.

If you wish to try to solve your problem before I publish a new version, you can download new function.php from here

https://svn.micso.net:666/svnweb/index.cgi/bruni/browse/Wordpress/VideographEx/trunk/VideographEx/

and overwrite your version.

Let me know if this solves your problem.

Hi Emiliano, Thanks for this great theme. For weeks I was trying to figure out how to make a video blog and Videographex is perfect for my first website.
Is there any way to remove "related videos" at the end of a YouTube clip?

19.Emiliano Bruni il 2009-03-15 22:04:25 ha scritto:

@Alan
Yes, it's possible and it's very simple. If you want to remove related videos only in a video, add a "rel=0" attribute into [youtube] tag. As an example

[youtube rel="0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENihaFoZh_g[/youtube]

If you want to disable this youtube feature for all your youtube video you can go to the wordpress admin page, settings, video quicktags, and, at the end of this page you found various configuration and the one to disable related videos (I don't know what's the name of this setting in english because I have configured wordpress in italian language).
Hoping this can helps you.

20.Phil il 2009-03-16 19:16:24 ha scritto:

Hi Emiliano,
I got a Page Load Error when I clicked the link - it said the site was using an invalid security certificate.

I will wait until you publish a new version. Thanks.

Of course. You can modify index.php and styles.css, include

< ? p.h.p. include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar2.php'); ? >

and

< ? p.h.p. include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar3.php'); ? >

wherever you want in the index.php template. Of course, p.h.p. without dots :-D

Hi Emiliano,

Your theme works great for me except when I add a veoh or vimeo file. It shows the video on the post page but in the index page, it breaks the post loop as soon it reaches one of this videos. I am using wordpress 2.6.2

Any idea?

29.Emiliano Bruni il 2009-04-13 11:28:41 ha scritto:

@Fallo, is it possible to see an example of this problem?

30.Fallo il 2009-04-13 15:04:51 ha scritto:

@Emiliano.

Yes, you can go to :

http://kbug.freehostia.com/wordpress

The first is a Viddler video. The next one (which breaks PHP) is a Veoh one. If I unpublish the Veoh one, then all of the 30 posts get parsed well and the SideBar and Footer apperars. Right now I know that works YouTube, MetaCafe and Viddler; doesn't work Veoh, Vimeo, GoogleVideo

31.Emiliano Bruni il 2009-04-13 15:30:39 ha scritto:

@Fallo
I noticed the good ones get their thumbnail directly from their url. The bad ones get their thumbnail via other web resources (xml, json,...) retrieved using the fopen PHP function.
Try to see if fopen is enabled in your website.

32.Fallo il 2009-04-13 16:48:23 ha scritto:

@Emiliano

I made a simple page running phpInfo and uploaded it:

http://kbug.freehostia.com/phpinfo.php

You can see there that 'allow_url_fopen' is enabled.

BTW I am using PHP Version 4.4.8. With CPanel in my host, I have the alternative to upgrade to PHP5. Maybe this can help...

Hi Emiliano,
Thanks so much for the theme- its really nice! Do you have any idea why when i click on "Categories:" in the navigation bar I would get to an error page that says the following:
"Not Found

The requested URL /archives was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Apache/1.3.37 Server at skaist.com Port 80"

I tried thgis with a fresh install and I can't get past this for some reason. If you have any idea what it could be I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!

39.Patrick Brouwers il 2009-06-18 14:06:57 ha scritto:

Maybe you can embed the Wp-PostView plugin to your design. I think it can be fun for people to see how often their video has been watched.

Hi there!!!
I want to add a thumb with a link to external site. No video on it, just a link to other site.
I can add a thumb (via video_thumb) but I can't assign an external link on it or a link in the title post.
This will be great if you want to post just an external link as a notice. Ex: A thumb of Michael Jackson and a link to his official site.

Just to say I have modified it to a single column and switched off comments.
