Gregor,

Really wanted to congratulate and thank you on this plugin! It has made Mahara highly extendable and more visually impressive.

Cheers,

Hello,

I'd appreciate embed.ly because it enables embedding content from so many services in mahara. An this is what I was looking for.

But embed.ly (1.0.3) doesn't work within my mahara (Using Mahara 1.4; PHP 5.2.16; MySQL 5.1.52)
I installed it (blocktype) and find the plugin under Exeternal Content. I can drag it into Pages and fill in an URL (out of listed services ). After saving "processing" is running. But then this block remains empty.

Here is a short video which shows that every thing seems to work properly but without the expected result. - http://www.screenr.com/YQds -

Please could you help me to fix that.

Thanks and Regards,
Conrad

What is the web service you were trying to embed with embed.ly? I couldn't see the full URL in the video :P

It could be that the web service changed their URL pattern.

Do all embed.ly services not embed?

Hello Thomas,

I've checked the URL (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MG2L5TXK3bU) with the help of embed.ly tests. This Link should work. I've tried also amazon, flickr, vimeo etc. No URL worked.
The youtube URL works within the plugin "externalvideo".  Hmm

In case I fill out hight and width there is not even a placeholder within the embed.ly block.

Thanks for your reply. Hope you can helb me fix this

Hello,

I set up totally a new installation with actual mahara 1.4.0 and embed.ly 1.0.3 to get shure that nothing was corrupted by me - neither in the database nor in datas.

The installation run without any problems. In this totally new mahara I put the embed.ly plugin as described. 

Result: It's the same as reported above: the block remains empty, no service is embeded.
Has anyone an idea?

Regards
Conrad
