AllVideos Reloaded is a fork of the famous AllVideos plugin, natively developed for Joomla! 1.5 and vastly enhanced with lots of invidually tunable parameters. In addition, all parameters (and more) can be individually overridden in each media tag. Internals have been redesigned completely. Another maintenance release 1.2.4 is now avilable Changes/Fixes: - DB Tables were not installed on Systems with MySQL < 4.1 leading to Error "500 Tag definition invalid or not found" - Moved avrmodal.css and closebox.gif from backend component to plugin in order to avoid access problems with protected backends. - Updated/Added spanish translation. - Made link to documentation more prominent. - Fixed API for thirdparty access of the "AVR Button". Another maintenance release 1.2.3 is now avilable This Release fixes the following problems: - Media did not display in fireboard. - The AVR System-Plugin did not install properly. - Embedding big flash animations could lead to temporary display of the builtin Flash warning, even if there was no problem with Flash. New Features: - YouTube media embedded with youtubejw now shows the preview image from YouTube automatically. - YouTube URLs of localized sites now are recognized in the "AVR Media" Dialog. AllVideos Reloaded 1.2.2 has just been released as a maintenance release, fixing several incompatibilities with PHP4 that were introduced in 1.2. plus a packaging problem (ZIP) that appeared in 1.2.1 Sorry PHP4-users, for the inconvenience!

Those are fully functional, however currently undocumented. I'm currently writing that documentation and will release version 1.3 as soon as this is done. ATTENTION! For those users, who use the JavaScript API: Please read carefully! The old functions for creating a popup now have been replaced by a new, more versatile method. Previously, if you had several popups, you had to invoke avrOpenPopup0(); avrOpenPopup1(); ... and so on. The number was depending on the sequence of the media tags. The new version now works as follows: AvrOpenPopup(event, 'identifier', 'type'); Parameters: 1. event: Must always specified literally. 2. 'identifier': A string, referencing a specific media tag. The media tag must define a unique name using divid="name". Then, for identifier use exactly the same name. 3. 'type': A string, specifying the popup type. Can be either 'window' or 'lightbox'. A full documentation of the JavaScript API will be available in version 1.3 ====================================================================== The space below is for REVIEWS.
