Video comments and themes

The documentation says that a person can comment via video, but I don't see how one does that? Am I missing a step in putting some code in the comment.php files? I am able to put the video in the body of the post, but don't see how to put it in the comments. (Easily for the end user that is!)

I am using WP 2.6.2 and Interactive Video 1.1.

Thanks for any help I can get!

Hi - in the Settings of the plugin, there is a checkbox that you can check that enables video comments. Just make sure that is checked within your plugin settings, and there will be a new button for "Add video comment" right next to the regular add comment button.

Take a look and let me know if this helps.

That button is checked, and I thought that would turn it on. Is it because of the theme I'm using? (http://www.tdbellenterprises.com/dbblog)

Ok, its a theme issue. I tried the default theme and it is in that comment section, but not in the theme I have in use. What do I need to put in comments.php to make it work?

Hi,
Make sure you have this code in the comments.php template
<?php do_action('comment_form', $post->ID); ?>

Ok, button is there, I'm able to record a response. It is in my library as being available, but the video comment does not show up in the comments stream. Just text comments are showing up. Is there something else I need to be doing?

Do you see some tag inside the comment text?

Something that looks like this:
[kaltura-widget wid="abc" /]

Via view source while on the comments page? No. Is it supposed to be the css file or one of the comments*.php files? Not finding that line anywhere...

Ok, it works via default theme fine, and I see what it should be doing. I will now dig into the code and figure out what is not happening right within the theme I am using... (Unless you have an idea of what I need to do to get it working in this theme?)

When I try to upload a video comment on my site I get the screen below.. If I click "return to the previous page" then the upload screen loads. Any ideas? Also, where do the comments go after you upload them? I uploaded a video and it worked fine but now I can't find it on the blog or from the dashboard?

Hello

I installed your plugin.
In a comment, I clocked the button, I recorded a small video from webcam and press the "finish" button.
Then, back to comment form, it says "Please wait" and I get the error page saying there is an error of no comment :(

I'm using K2 template with a lot of plugins.

Any idea ?

Can be tested : http://gilles.wittezaele.fr/blog/ (comment form).

Thanks.

Hi,
The plugin is not activated on your blog right now.

Can you provide screenshots of the error that you get?

Hi,

There's a conflict with another plugin - the plugin that allows the comments to be in rich text format. Can you try to disable this plugin and see if recording a video comment then is possible?

you were right :)

I disabled my MCe Comment plugin (http://mk.netgenes.org/my-plugins/mcecomments/) and it works now :)
At least, as I'm at work not at home, link to webpage with image is ok !

Thank you :)

As you can test here :http://gilles.wittezaele.fr/blog/2008/10/17/rester-maitre-de-ses-conversations/#respond => no problem, logged or not, with a webcam :)

Incredible plugin I think :)

Hope it will be 2.7 compatible ;)

Maybe it's a jqurey conflict - in case you are using WP 2.8 and up (the plugin is not yet compatible).
