1. Michael and Maggie » Adventures with Revver:

   [...] so i was attempting to publish my 2nd video on my blog using Erik’s excellent plugin and i accidentally put in my affiliate code instead of the code for my video. whoops! for about 30 seconds there was a video of a naked breast being repeatedly squeezed on my blog. in my haste to fix it i ended up with some emaciated buddhist monk lighting himself on fire. 3rd time was the charm. [...]

2. Spondicious » Revver test posting:

   [...] I have used the plugin by Eric Rasmussen so that I can include Revver Video easily on my site [...]

3. Erik’s Blog » Real-Time Horse Race Betting:

   [...] Whenever someone links to my blog, they get a “pingback” comment on my site that points back to their blog. I also get notified via email. Today, it was spondicious.com, acknowledging me for creating my Revver Plugin for Wordpress. The video he used my plugin to post is pretty fascinating. It looks like software to place bets on horses in the middle of a horse race. It’s definitely worth checking out. [...]

4. eirlymeyer:

   Is it possible to control the size of the Revver Videos through this plugin? How can I reduce the original size & create my own size, for example: 300 x 300 or 120 x 120 for the videos to show?

5. erik:

   eirlymeyer,

   At the moment, you cannot change the size. I will look into adding it as a feature. It sounds like a good thing to be able to do.

   I installed the plugin but the quicktag button does not show up.

   I tried entering the code revver(12345) (the media id number not 12345) and wordpress didn’t recognize it. The install seemed to work fine no problems there.

   I’m doing all of this only get revver video entries to validate. I noticed that none of the sites provided by example validate. I also noticed that Revver’s own blog doesn’t come close to validating.

7. erik:

   I assume you mean the “sites provided by example” from Revver don’t validate. The ones using my plugin do. Example.

   I haven’t tested the quicktag button since Rever 2.1.x updated the wysiwyg editor. If you put “revver(247847)” (that’s a valid video number of mine), it doesn’t get converted by WP-Revver into the video embedded on the page?

   Do you see the “Revver” options page in the Wordpress admin?

8. Web Hosting Reviews:

   i love this blog!

9. erik:

   Thanks!

10. Wordpress Quickstart Guy:

    Great plugin. Does it work with aLinks?

11. erik:

    WQG, I have no idea. Try it and let me know.

12. Ralev:

    about the resize question: I’ve done it manually in the JS file. here are the details:

    I’m posting in a WP blog with 424px wight of the main content, so I obviously needed 424px instead of 480px movie.

    STEP 1 – check what your “new” size of the movie box will be if you want to change the wight.

    —-

    f.e. – in my case – I put a filed in Photoshop with 480×392 and it appears that when the wight is changed to 424px, the height is changed to 346px.

    STEP 2 – now you should go to the plug-in directory and open the “wp-revver.js” file.
    BE CAREFUL – there are 2 types of values that you have to change. the first one is the “big box” (480×392) and the second one is a smaller one ( the screen without the bottom bar – 480×376). So if you want everything to be desplayed correct – you should open once again your PhotoShop and do the math for the second value.

    After the new values are set, you can replace the “w-revver.js” file with the new one and everything should be just fine it worked 4 me.

    ps: a small bug repport:

    I’ve got 2 different posts in the same page.
    One with Revver video and one with YouTube.
    the Revver post was overlapping the YouTube.
    after I added some text after the “revver(12345)” code it seems that the system recognized the type of object and my FireFox showed the two movies properly..

13. erik:

    Thanks for that, Ralev.

14. Ralev:

    pps: NP.
    … just for the people that will look at my source code – now I’m using another solution.

15. jackywdx:

    Hi,erik.I’m from China. I have downloaded the revver plugin and installed it.But I found it did’t work.
    It did show up in the options page.but the quicktag button didn’t show up in the edit page….
    I found another question. I couldn’t open the website http://www.revver.com. The browser always show up couldn’t find the website.
    Do you have any idea or solution? Thanks a lot

16. erik:

    Well, if you can’t see revver.com, then you might have bigger problems. Have you tried just inserting the “revver(54321)” code into the post yourself? The quicktag button isn’t really all that useful except for remembering the syntax.

    You might try one.revver.com instead of www. But if you can’t see Revver, then there’s no point in trying to use this plugin.

17. Shawn:

    Great plug-in – thanks…but any idea why my video shows up fin in Firefox but I get a blank space in IE?

18. erik:

    Shawn: are you using the flash or quicktime player?

19. tłumaczenia angielski:

    Thanx a lot! This is very useful.

    “Revver Wordpress Plugin” – Good work. Cogratulations

21. http://lancefunggallery.com:

    We could use a solution for blogger. Maybe a javascript port of the plugin?

22. Erik R.:

    Sorry, I don’t know anything about the inner-workings of blogger. You’re on your own.

23. Tricia:

    We just started using this plugin today on a multiuser Wordpress blog and I love it! I think it is going to open up huge potential for the Chatty Women on my site. Thank you so much!

24. oli:

    hey, i have revver working on my webpress site but the video upload form for my comments is not showing up beacuse of my theme, do you have idea where i would find the html coding for the upload bar?

    thanks.

25. Erik R.:

    Oli, you must be thinking of the Official Revver Wordpress Plugin. Mine has nothing to do with video uploads.

26. estetik:

    Thanks for nice tips. Very good blog.

27. Elliot Lee:

    Why would I use this plugin instead of the Official Revver WordPress Plugin?

28. francoe:

    great plugin!
    works fine, i will use it.
    but, elliot lee have a good question…

29. Erik R.:

    Frankcoe, I answered Elliot Lee’s question in the post above. I thought I left a comment saying so, but apparently it got lost. Look at the section above “Questions and Coments”.

30. francoe:

    Es verdad!! Lo acabo de ver..perdón.
    Incluso, luego de escribirlo instalé el plugin oficial, y comprendí perfectamente porqué quiero usar este plugin.
    }
    oh, yes, is true! I see it now.
    After type that i try to install the oficial plugin, and i see it clearly why i wanna use it your plugin.
    Great work!
    Excuse me for that… and for my cheap transaltor.XD

31. eligio:

    Does the plugin support the latest version 2.3.3 ? thanks

32. funnyvideo!:

    thanks fot the plugin!

    do it works with the latest version?

33. Erik R.:

    Yes, funnyvideo, it do (sic).

34. gestroud:

    Hello,

    Just wondering if this is compatible with WP 2.5. If it is, that would be great. I know that revver has its own widget, but I don’t need all of its functionality.

    Thanks

35. Erik R.:

    Yes, gestroud, it works just fine on WP 2.5, as well as the nightly build of 2.6 that I’m running.

36. El:

    i received this error when trying to active this plugin with WP 2.6

    Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

    what is that error suppose to mean??

37. nad33m.com:

    Why would I use this plugin instead of the Official Revver WordPress Plugin?

38. Erik R.:

    nad33m.com, may I direct you to the section titled Why not use the Official Revver Wordpress Plugin?

    i was in the process of using this feature on my blog but i’ve ran out of space on my site
