moseasymedia 2.0.1 for MiaCMS, Mambo, Joomla!, WikkaWiki Released

April 18th, 2008 | by Ozgur Cem Sen |

moseasymedia, a sort of well known video embedding extension in the Mambo Joomla! community, has a new release. moseasymedia 2.0.x version is released in mid April with a few neat features.

I’ll try give some highlights from the readme.txt that’s in the zip package.

Please read on,

  • moseasymedia became an asset of Brilaps LLC. http://brilaps.com
    Still released under GNU/GPL v2.
  • moseasymedia core is stripped from all Mambo/Joomla! specific function call, so it can easily integrate with its host application. moseasymedia 2.0 runs on;

Mambo 4.6.x && Joomla 1.0.x
Joomla 1.5.x
Wikka Wiki 1.1.6.4 and most recent trunk (as of 04/14/08) http://wikkawiki.org
(You need to download the package that applies to your site.)

  • Most wanted “popup” support added. You can choose between the regular window popup or Thickbox (jQuery) popup.

Plus new override params added : “popup”, “popupwidth”, “popupheight”, “popuptoolbar”, “popupmenubar”, “popupscrollbars”, “popupmediathumbnail”

  • A few html compliance errors fixed. Unfortunately, moseasymedia will never generate fully compliant code; EMBED breaks it all.
  • AllowScriptAccess param added back into Flash and JW Players
  • Possible pass by reference issues in PHP 5 resolved.
  • When you have multiple videos on the same page, moseasymedia will try to include only one common js and css file for that media type.
  • Some sanity and crash checks when the mambot was not published.
  • moseasymediaWindowsMediaPlayerVideo.php was erroring out because of a left over null variable
  • Sanity check for possible typos in player= attrib. When you typo player=SomeOtherPlayer , you’ll get an error.
  • ThickboxExists param added to not to include Thickbox twice.
  • eregi bug in the function that determines the player by file extension is fixed.
  • displayheight param was being ignored in FLV player. Now it’s not.
  • strip_tags applied to {moseasymedia ….} tag, incase there is some <br/> etc. got stuck in the tag.
  • You can put the spaces in the title tag for JW Players, but the trick is; to put %20 instead of spaces .

Quite a few changes went in the new version. You can see it in the works at
