activities widget with filtering oEmbed activities (3 posts)

    Is it possible to create a widget which can detect oEmbed activities and display them on a sidebar?
    If yes, is it possible to load only thumbnails on a widget?

    Basically, what I need is to show latest videos thumbnails on sidebar. I’m thinking of using activities to paste youtube links (and other services) and oEmbed for getting thumbnails.

    Any ideas how I can make this to work?

    @rang501 I agree. This could be useful.

    @r-a-y, would this be possible?

    This should preferably be posted in the oEmbed BP forum:

    http://buddypress.org/community/groups/oembed-for-buddypress/forum

    But anyway… yup it should be possible.

    Would have to write a custom activity fetch routine to do this. Might add this for oEmbed for BP 0.7 (that’s right, I’m talking about 0.7 before 0.6 is officially released!).

    Re: thumbnails – I’m working on support for that for v0.6. Not all providers will return thumbnails. YouTube will work though.
