How to write a web source/new embed for PHPVibe

The PHPVibe cms uses a tone of web sources, through web sources people can easily generate a video autoembed by submitting just the link.

We will be using the logic of the plugin system to achieve a new source without touching the code from lib/class.providers.php

First, let's add our new source to the supported array of websites.

Code Select Expand

function newSourceName($hosts = array()){
$hosts[] = 'newsource.com';
return $hosts;
}

Now let's provide the embed logic for this new example source:

For v5, v6 versions of PHPVibe

Code Select Expand

function EmbednewSourceName($txt =''){
global $vid;
if(isset($vid)) {
if($vid->VideoProvider($vid->theLink()) == 'newsource.com' ) {
$link = $vid->theLink();
if(!nullval($link)) {
$id = $vid->getVideoId("video/", '/'); //* Id extraction logic. Let's say the url has the id after /video , example old.phpvibe.com/video/1367/ *//
if(!nullval($id)) {
$tembed = ' < iframe(? object, etc) width="' . get_option('video-width') . '" height="' . get_option('video-heigth') . '" src="http://newsource.com/player?vid='.$id.'" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen scrolling="no"> ';
$txt .= $tembed;
}
/* End link check */
}
/* End provider check */
}
/* End isset(vid) */
}
/* End function */
return $txt;
}

For PHPVibe v11+

Code Select Expand

function EmbednewSourceName($txt =''){
    global $VibeProvider, $VibeLink;
    if (isset($VibeProvider) && isset($VibeLink)) {
        if($VibeProvider == 'yournewsourceDeclaredName' ) {
//make sure you restrict the changes to this source
          
            if(not_empty($VibeLink)) {
                $id =  $VibeLink.' something to prepare it'; //* Id extraction logic. Let's say the url has the id after /video , example old.phpvibe.com/video/1367/ *//
                if(not_empty($id)) {
                    $tembed = ' < iframe(? object, etc) width="' . get_option('video-width') . '" height="' . get_option('video-heigth') . '" src="http://newsource.com/player?vid='.$id.'" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen scrolling="no"> ';
                    $txt .= $tembed;
                }
                /* End link check */
            }
            /* End provider check */
        }
        /* End isset(vid) */
    }
    /* End function */
    return $txt;
}

So now we have the function that gets the link to the external video source and turns it into an iframe embed.
Let's hook it to the PHPVibe embeds through the filter EmbedModify.

Code Select Expand

add_filter('EmbedModify', 'EmbednewSourceName');

Now we have a new source of embeds for our visitors.

If you can scrape, or the source returns details (thumbnails, duration, title, description, tags), you can hook this also:
for PHPVibe 5-6

Code Select Expand

function DetailsnewSourceName($txt = ''){
global $vid,$websLink;
if(!isset($vid) && isset($websLink)) {
$vid = new Vibe_Providers($websLink);
}
if(isset($vid)) {
$link = $vid->theLink();
if(!nullval($link)) {
 
//* Logic to extract info from the link goes here and it's added to $txt *//
 
}
/* End isset(vid) */
}
/* End function */
return $txt;
}

for PHPVibe 11+

Code Select Expand

function DetailsnewSourceName($zvideo = array())
{
    global $VibeProvider, $VibeLink;
    //expected output
    $xvideo = array();
    $xvideo['description'] = '';
    $xvideo['title'] = '';
    $xvideo['thumbnail'] = '';
    $xvideo['duration'] = '';
    $xvideo['tags'] = '';
    if ($VibeProvider == 'yournewsourceDeclaredName') {
//make sure you restrict the changes to this source
 
//* Logic to extract info from the link goes here and it's added to $txt *//
        $xvideo .= 'do something to extract details';
    }
    /* End function */
    return array_merge($zvideo, $xvideo);
}

The function gets hooked to the filter EmbedDetails

Code Select Expand

add_filter('EmbedDetails', 'DetailsnewSourceName');

Now you will be returning video details on the second submission page.
