oEmbed for BP 0.6-beta available!
-
*** UPDATE (09/27/11): BuddyPress 1.5 is out and includes a lot of the new code I was writing for my plugin. I’m currently juggling a few things that are taking priority over working on the plugin. It will be released when it’s released! ***
*** UPDATE (02/24/11): This is an old beta. I’m currently rewriting the plugin. New version will be out when BP 1.3 drops. There might be a RC version before then. ***
A public beta is now available:
http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/oembed-for-buddypress.zipIt’s pretty much stable as I’ve had a few people testing it.
Changelog:
* Changed oEmbed caching logic for performance reasons (thanks apeatling)
* Added support for WP non-oEmbed handlers (more info can be found [here](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_embed_register_handler))
* Added partial support for resizing embed items based on component (more info can be found in the “Other Notes” section)
* Added support for group descriptions and profile fields (disabled by default)
* Added support to whitelist an embed link so it stays as a link (more info can be found in the “Other Notes” section)
* Added support to remove oEmbed cache when a forum post is deleted
* Added support for other plugin developers to utilize the plugin
* Added a CSS class around embedded item for theme designers
* Added transparent background to flash content by default
* Fixed fatal error if the activity, forum or group components were disabled (thanks dcservices for reporting)
* Fixed embed bug where both an @mention + an embed link was used in the same update, the embed link would break (thanks sicksight for reporting)
* Fixed issue where hyperlinking an embeddable link and inputting the same link in plain text would output the embedded item multiple times
* Fixed AJAX bug where if an embed link returned javascript, the activity stream on an AJAX request would break; now returns URL on AJAX request if content is javascript (requires server to support HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH)—
As noted in the changelog, the main new features are resizing of content and support for group descriptions and profile fields.
**Please view the readme.txt for full details on how to enable these features**

Excellent update! Support for embed in group descriptions (unrecommended as it might be) is just the thing we need to add some necessary pajazz to the landing pages of showcase-oriented groups. There just isn’t enough room for group-index customizations yet to not resort to options like this.
So, ‘partial support’ and ‘disabled by default’, what does that actually mean? I uploaded the 0.6-beta to a test install, activated it, wrote a full link into a description and bam, an embedded video
No change of settings in WordPress nor BuddyPress prior to activation. If it was disabled, where would I enable it from? From your FAQ I can tell that there’s not supposed to be a settings page, yet.Ok, i edit your plugin to get what i need.
In bp-oembed.php around line 256 y change
$embed = str_replace( $width, $resize_width, $embed );
to: $embed = str_replace( $width, “450″, $embed );
and $embed = str_replace( $height, round( $height * $resize_width / $width ) , $embed );
to: $embed = str_replace( $height, “235″ , $embed );That force the width and height…
Anyway i think you could add a height parameter in wp-config to force width and height
Thanks for letting us know r-a-y. Non-surprising as it is, that’s still very pleasant news
