Compose tips

• Web page addresses and e-mail addresses turn into links automatically.
• Lines and paragraphs are automatically recognized. The <br /> line break, <p> paragraph and </p> close paragraph tags are inserted automatically. If paragraphs are not recognized simply add a couple blank lines.
• Images can be added to this post.
• 
  

  Insert view filter allows to embed views using tags. The tag syntax is relatively simple: [view:name=display=args]

  For example [view:tracker=page=1] says, embed a view named "tracker", use the "page" display, and supply the argument "1".

  The display and args parameters can be omitted. If the display is left empty, the view's default display is used.

  Multiple arguments are separated with slash. The args format is the same as used in the URL (or view preview screen).

  Valid examples:

  [view:my_view]

  [view:my_view=my_display]

  [view:my_view=my_display=arg1/arg2/arg3]

  [view:my_view==arg1/arg2/arg3]

  
  

• To add a lightbox to your images, add rel="lightbox" attribute to any link tag to activate the lightbox. For example:

  <a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox">image #1</a>

  <a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox[][my caption]">image #1</a>

  To show a caption either use the title attribute or put in the second set of square brackets of the rel attribute.

  If you have a set of related images that you would like to group, then you will need to include a group name between square brackets in the rel attribute. For example:

  <a href="image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip]">image #1</a>
<a href="image-2.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip][caption 2]">image #2</a>
<a href="image-3.jpg" rel="lightbox[roadtrip][caption 3]">image #3</a>


  There are no limits to the number of image sets per page or how many images are allowed in each set.

  If you wish to turn the caption into a link, format your caption in the following way:

  <a href="image-1.jpg" rel='lightbox[][<a href="http://www.yourlink.com">View Image Details</a>]' >image #1</a>

• It's possible to show video content in the lightbox. In this case the "rel" attribute should be set to lightvideo. It's possible to group videos and to control the size of the lightbox by setting the "width" and "height" properties. The properties can be configured like lightvideo[group|width:300px; height: 200px;][caption]. The properties should all be of the format "property: value;" - note the closing semi-colon. If no properties are set, then the default width and height of 400px will be used. See below for more detailed examples.

  Basic example:
  <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1811233136844420765" rel="lightvideo">Google video example - default size</a>

  Controlling lightbox size example:
  <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1811233136844420765" rel="lightvideo[group|width:400px; height:300px;][caption]">Google video example - custom size</a>

  Supported video formats include asx, wmv, mov and swf. A number of online video providers are also supported, including YouTube and Google Video. For a full list of the current supported video providers please see the documentation on drupal.org.

• SWF Tools Filter

  The basic syntax for embedding a flash file (.swf), flash movie (.flv) or audio file (.mp3) is:

  [swf file="filename.swf"]

  If you would like to override SWF Tools and flash player default settings, you can specify additional parameters. For example:

  [swf file="song.mp3" flashvars="backcolor=#AABBCC&&forecolor=#11AA11"]

  If you would like to output a list of files then the format is:

  [swf files="image1.jpg&&image2.jpg&&..."]

  SWF Tools Filter will accept following:
  • params : You can specify values for parameters to be passed to Flash to control the appearance of the output. Typical values are bgcolor and wmode. Example: params="wmode=true&&bgcolor="#00FF00" Alternatively you can supply each parameter individually without using params. Example wmode="true" bgcolor="#00FF00"
  • flashvars : You can specify values for output as flashvars, which become available to the Flash movie that is playing. This is often done to control a media player. Refer to the documentation of the flash player you are using to know what flashvar options are available. Example: flashvars="autostart=true&&volume=80"
  • methods : Optional information about how to display the file. The most common usage is to specify a particular media player and thus override the default specified on the settings page. Example: methods="player=onepixelout_mp3"

  WARNING: with params, flashvars and othervars, pass multiple values separated by &&.

• Video Filter

  You may insert videos from popular video sites by using a simple tag [video:URL].

  Examples:

  • Single video:
    [video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN1qUeId]
  • Random video out of multiple:
    [video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN1qUeId1,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN1qUeId2]
  • Override default autoplay setting: [video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN1qUeId autoplay:1]
  • Override default width and height:
    [video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN1qUeId width:X height:Y]
  • Align the video:
    [video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN1qUeId align:right]

  Supported sites: YouTube, Google Video, Tangle, DailyMotion, Eyespot, Revver, Vimeo, Flickr Slideshows, Flickr Video, Game Videos, Meta Cafe, Game Trailers, College Humor, MySpace, Capped, Blip.tv, Slideshare, Picasa Slideshows.

  Special instructions:

  Some codecs need special input. You'll find those instructions here.
  • Slideshare:
    You need to construct your own URL, using the "Wordpress Embed" code from Slideshare, extract the "id" and "doc" parts, and form the URL like this: slideshare.net/?id=1759622&doc=usingdrupal-090723103440-phpapp01.
  • Picasa Slideshows:
    You must use the URL of the RSS feed for the Picasa album:
    1. View the album in Picasa (you should see thumbnails, not a slideshow).
    2. Find the "RSS" link and click it.
    3. Copy the resulting URL from the browser address bar. Example:
       [video: http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/base/user/USER_NAME/albumid/5568104935784209834?alt=rss&kind=photo&hl=en_US]
