How to use the plugin

Relative URLs

The easiest way to publish a Windows Media Video is to use the Media Manager from Nucleus:

  1. Upload your video in the same way like images
  2. When the message “Text to display” appears simply press OK.
  3. The result is a entry like <%media(filename.wmv|)%>
  4. Change it to <%wmvideo(filename.wmv)%>

The plugin automatically add the path to your member media directory.

Absolute URLs

You can also use the absolute URL to the Windows Media Video. The parameter must start with “http://”, for example:

<%wmvideo(http://yourdomain.com/videos/filename.wmv)%>

  • link to a other directory than your media directory by specify the full URL
