[YouTube] [Embed] Google Video Bar Pagelet

Wed, 30 Jun 2010 00:19:01 +0100

his is using code from the Google Video Bar found here:

http://www.google.com/uds/solutions/videobar/index.html

I have pasted the code into a Rich Text page (Sandvox Pro) using Edit > Edit Raw HTML...

Note: Cannot have vertical and horizontal bars on the same page. Doesn't work as expected when clicking on a video to play. I expected it to play next to the thumbnail. Sandvox doesn't like the code. I have to keep quiting and re-launching Sandvox for it to play nice.

[MP3] Hide MP3 Pagelet yet Play Audio

Fri, 15 May 2009 11:21:25 +0100

This is to show how to hide the Video Pagelet that contains an MP3. (I have turned off the loop option to be less irritating with the short sound sample.)

How to do it:

Add a Video pagelet
Select the pagelet
Open the Inspector
Choose... the MP3 (I used a URL to the MP3)
Set the Inspector as follows and delete all text from the pagelet:

I have Editing Markers showing hence the 'green buttons' where text can be entered. The screen capture (above right) is of the pagelet as seen in Sandvox. The black text which can be seen is the default placeholder text and is not editable nor published.

[MP3] Show MP3 Pagelet in NetNewsWire

Tue, 12 May 2009 21:38:24 +0100

This is to test whether a Rich Text page with an MP3 pagelet which has an image, will show up in NetNewsWire. [Text link to MP3].

About NetNewsWire: I have found that if the MP3 is on a video page then you will have the option to Download it (or Download to iTunes) in NetNewsWire. Only the page thumbnail is shown and no text from the page. If the MP3 is in a pagelet then it doesn't show at all.

It is possible to have a text or image link in the page body that links to the MP3 that has been uploaded by the pagelet. This link can be clicked in NetNewsWire which will open the MP3 in a page and play it.

[YouTube] [Embed] In Rich Text Page

Thu, 26 Mar 2009 23:23:16 +0000

The video has been uploaded to YouTube and their embed code has been pasted in a Rich Text page using Edit > Paste HTML into Text

You need Sandvox Pro to do this.

This is the original MOV format of the screencast that I uploaded to YouTube. At first, this did not play on an iPhone but a day after uploading it did without me needing to do anything.

[Popout Video] Green Button Problem

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 10:51:01 +0100

Update: I have used [LightWindow] to display the [Jing] recorded screencast which is wider than Sandvox will display within this page design.

Problem: The original screencast is too wide for the page width of this site design when using a Sandvox Video page -- maximum width 640 pixels. This video is 782 pixels wide.

Sometimes, the first time you click the image , it doesn't pop-out but if you come back and click a second time it will.

Original Text: A bug in version of Sandvox 1.5 (Update: fixed in 1.5.1b1) isn't allowing Description text to be added. Normally you can click on a Green Button to do so but nothing happens in this release, as is shown in the video.
