[video:] Short Tag

Built-in Feature

The [video:] short tag is used to render a video player for an attached file using the first video player plugin available.

When you attach a video file to a post and then click on the blue (+) icon, a tag like [video:123] will be automatically inserted at the cursor position in your post.

Note: [video:123] generates a block element (<video>...</video>) and cannot appear inside a paragraph. (b2evolution will automatically move it out of the paragraph).

Plugin Features

When installed, specific video plugins may support an alternate syntax such as [video:provider:ID].

Those video plugins may also provide toolbars with button to automatically insert these tags.

Syntax Breakdown

Built-in

[video: Link ID ]

Link ID: ID of the linked video that will be shown.

Plugin

[video: Provider : Video ID ]

  • Provider: the site that provides the video content. Valid values are:
    • youtube
    • dailymotion
    • vimeo
    • facebook
    • wistia
  • Video ID: the ID of the video to show. Format depends on the video provider.

Proper Placement

Because this tag will typically render to a block element (like <div>), it should not be placed into a paragraph (<p>). It should be placed between 2 paragraphs. If b2evolution finds the tag inside of a paragraph if will actually move it before the paragraph at rendering time.
