PM Wiki embedding video

PM Wiki embedding video

I was wondering if anyone out there can lend a hand.

I use PM wiki, and am going to create a page of my favorite videos. This way they are all there when I need them. PM wiki does not let you embed video by default you need to add some php to the cookbook. The PM wiki website has recipes for embedding youtube and google video. I have those working fine, though nothing is currently up on my page. But they do not have a recipe for TeacherTube. I have been mucking about with the youtube/google recipes trying to create one that works for TeacherTube. But after 1/2 a day my eyes are seeing double. Anyone have one already done, I’d love to share.

Update: I also sent a request to the PM wiki user mail list with the same request, and this morning when I awake and check my email – I find a message from Anno of the user group, he has made the script and already added it to the cookbook. Works like a charm, I love the open source community. Maybe tonight I will start organizing some of my favorites and most used videos and place them on the wik.

Update #2: I have posted a video clip to TeacherTube on how to modify PMWiki to accept these videos. It is my first video of this nature, that I have shared with everyone. Still need to improve my skills.

  1. Thank you so much for this post. I’ve been using pbwiki and playing around with it. I haven’t tried adding video but will give it a try. I didn’t know about TeacherTube. Thank you so much!

    I’m going to check out your wiki – thank you again.

  2. Beth, thanks for sharing! I had been hoping for an easy way to embed TeacherTube, but because of travel, hadn’t gotten around to looking. Your post saves me the trouble!!

    What I’m also wishing for is an easy way to download video from TeacherTube, like vixy.net for YouTube.

    Ideas?

    Best wishes,
