How do I add videos to my blog?

U Rock 'n Ride gives you the ability to stream video content from the following "third-party" providers like YouTube etc. Supported video providers for your blogs are:

These providers offer content in various formats, but most of them use Flash Video technology.

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS (for third-party video providers)

To embed videos to your content use the following format for each specific video provider. Remove the "_" or underscore from the second set of squiggly brackets (We had to use the underscore otherwise all the video players would show up on this page):

For Google Video use: {google}video_id{_/google}
For example if the link on your browser displays http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3406925506469882756 then your video_id is -3406925506469882756, that means the characters that come after "docid=". Please note that in some cases there might be a minus sign (-) before the last sequence of digits or not!
For local Google Video sites (like Google Video France) use: {google.TLD}video_id{_/google} and replace "TLD" with "co.uk", "com.au", "de", "es", "fr", "it", "nl" or "pl", depending on the local Google Video service.
For example if the link on your browser displays http://video.google.fr/videoplay?docid=-3406925506469882756 then your video_id is -3406925506469882756, that means the characters that come after "docid=". You then write inside the editor: {google.fr}-3406925506469882756{_/google.fr}. Please note that in some cases there might be a minus sign (-) before the last sequence of digits or not!
For Yahoo! Video use: {yahoo}video_id{_/yahoo}
For example if the link on your browser displays http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=c860df3ccf66c83fb61bb2ffd934330b.1155220&cache=1 then your video_id is 1155220&cache=1, that means, everything that is AFTER the last DOT on the link!
For YouTube use: {youtube}video_id{_/youtube}
For example if the link on your browser displays http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdXTDovB9K8 then your video_id is cdXTDovB9K8, that means, again just the number at the end of the link!
For iFilm use: {ifilm}video_id{_/ifilm}
For example if the link on your browser displays http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2732615 then your video_id is 2732615, that means, yes you've guessed too, just the number at the end of the link!
For Vimeo use: {vimeo}video_id{_/vimeo}
For example if the link on your browser displays http://www.vimeo.com/clip:78198 then your video_id is 78198, that means, yes you are a genius, again just the number at the end of the link!
For Metacafe use: {metacafe}video_id/video_name{_/metacafe}
For example if the link on your browser displays http://www.metacafe.com/watch/143709/i_get_knocked_down/ then your video_id/video_name is 143709/i_get_knocked_down. That is a tricky one because you need to ommit the last slash (/)! Be careful with this one!

For Dropshots use: {dropshots}browser_link{_/dropshots}
For Dropshots we use the whole browser link, for example http://www.dropshots.com/day.php?userid=127444&cdate=20060612&ctime=050513, because this is the easiest way to embed video. You see, Dropshots uses variables inside the link that would otherwise need to be "found" inside the browser link. And our "motto" for the plugin is "no HTML-hassle" at all! So using some extra PHP code, we "clean up" the link and embed the variables correctly in Joomla's content. So all you have to do is just paste the whole link and that's it!

As always, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us.
