The plugin doesn't make changes in views and doesn't store or modify entities. It just parses the content, through views extending, and shows the video. If you disable the plugin, the video URL is displayed again.

The initial version supports Youtube, Vimeo and Metacafe. Others formats is on the way.

Notes:

If Cash's Embed Video Plugin is enabled, Embed Extender will use the latest version of the Cash's library. Otherwise, the plugin will use a own copy of Cash's library. The latest version of Cash's plugin can be found here: http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/project/384562/developer/costelloc/embed-video

The plugin needs Cash´s Eager Widgets to work perfectly in profile pages. The latest version can be found here: http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/project/535997/developer/costelloc/eager-widgets

The plugin doesn't show embebed videos in Riverdashboard, because the River shows only the first 200 characters of the message.

Notes for 1.8:

This plugin uses a 1.8 beta version of Cash´s Embed library. An update will be released with Cash´s official 1.8 library. (Don´t worry. The actual version works fine)

How to install:

1. Enable the plugin and set the video width to content and widgets. In default themes, I suggest 400 pixels to video content and 265 pixels to widget content.

To do:

• Support more video formats.
• Support more content

Thanks:

A great "Thank You" to DhrupDeScoop for supporting my limited PHP skills and to Gillie for the help in The Wire widget issue.

The five validations can be enabled or disabled, and, to save external resources, the plugin validates the registration in the order below:

1. Check IP against IP blacklist cache. (Cache expires once a week).
2. If negative, check e-mail´s domain against domain blacklist.
3. If negative, check e-mail against e-mail blacklist.
4. If negative, check e-mail and IP against stopforumspam.com
5. If negative, check e-mail and IP against fassim.com

Features

• Four validations can be enabled or disabled.
• The plugin always checks de HTTP Status of stopforumspam.com and fassim.com. If the service is down, the plugin ignores the service and validates the user.
• Optionally, the plugin can send, by e-mail, notifications about the blocked spammer.
• If the user has a StopForumSpam API Key (Optional), the plugin can notify stopforumspam about the spammer.
• The plugin doesn´t extend the registration form, so must be compatible with every profile plugin. (Tested with Profile Manager).

Requirements

• Latest 1.7 or 1.8 version of slyhne's IP address tracker plugin, found here: http://community.elgg.org/plugins/446342/1.8.1/ip-address-tracker-plugin (Tracker Plugin stores IP Adress from user. I think that is wrong create from scratch something that works well).
• API Key from http://www.stopforumspam.com/ (Optional)
• API Key from http://www.fassim.com/ (Optional)
• PHP CURL function enabled. If you use a shared host, check with your host admin.
• ELGG "daily" cron must be running.

Instalation

• Install the plugin below the tracker plugin.
• Optionally gets a stopforumspam.com API Key.
• Optionally gets a fassim.com API Key.
• Modify and save the settings.
• Done.

To do

• Cache the blocked e-mails in internal e-mail blacklist, to save external resources from stopforumspam.com and fassim.com.
• Create internal whitelist for IPs and Domains (Dhrup's request)
• Collect and show some spam statistics (Blocks by region, etc)

Final notes:

• If you like it, recommend it! Recommending, you don´t help me: you help the community, showing the best rated plugins and saving hours for new users.
• Thanks to slyhne for the modifications in tracker plugin and to DhrupDeScoop for the "moral support" during the development.
• Fassim.com is in beta stage, so the keys are sent, but not right away. If you dont receive your key, just use stopforumspam.com and wait for the fassim´s key.

Thanks:

• A big "thank you" to Matt Beckett for helping me to develop the 1.8 version. Their efforts was priceless.

Features:

• Invite messages uses the same layout from original invitefriends plugins.
• Send invite codes in the message. (Allow mutual friendships in registration).
• Multilanguage support. (English and Brazilian Portuguese in the package).
• Only two files were changed. Future upgrades will be easier.

Installing:

Unzip the plugin in the "mod" folder, download the latest version of Openinviter API from http://openinviter.com/download.php and unzip in the \vendor\openinviter folder.

Configuring:

Disable the original Invitefriends plugin. Edit the file \vendor\openinviter\config.php like the example below. You will need a User Name and Private Key. You can get it registering in openinviter.com website.

Example:

<?php

$openinviter_settings=array(       

"username"=>"YourUserName", //Your login in the openinviter website.    

"private_key"=>"YourPrivateKey", //Your private key.       

"cookie_path"=>'/home/admin/tmp', //Path to store cookies and plugin cache.       

"message_body"=>" "       

"message_subject"=>" "       

"transport"=>"curl", //You can use wget too       

"local_debug"=>"on_error",       

"remote_debug"=>FALSE,       

"hosted"=>FALSE,       

"proxies"=>array(),       

"stats"=>TRUE,       

"plugins_cache_time"=>1800,       

"plugins_cache_file"=>"oi_plugins.php", //Plugin cache filename.       

"update_files"=>false,       

"stats_user"=>"", //Required to access the stats       

"stats_password"=>"" //Required to access the stats    );   

?>

Final notes:

• This plugin was writen from scratch, merging a elgg plugin and a openinviter api example.
• Only one file from original Invitefriends plugin was changed: \views\default\oi_invitefriends\form.php. I added the line "include($CONFIG->pluginspath . "oi_invitefriends/oi_invitefriends.php");". This will make future upgrades easier.
• The code responsible to send invites through Openvintier API is a "elggfied" version of example.php, supllied in the package.
• I will use in the plugin the version numbering from Openinviter API. So, this plugin starts with 1.9.4.0 (Openinviter 1.9.4, minor release 0)
• I am using in a production enviroment, but I am a C# developer, not a PHP developer, so be careful. :)
