Posted by Mario Mansour in TubePress
For all wordpress template designers, I have decided to give you the opportunity of sharing your work on this blog. The purpose is to create a template which is optimized for TubePress. As you all know, TubePress is independent of the wordpress theme used, however not all designs are good for video posting.
Those who are interested please send a copy of your template, name, blog (if you like to publish) and I put them here.

Got the following error upon activation:
WordPress database error: [Table 'mensheal_wrdp1.wp_link2cat' doesn't exist]
INSERT INTO wp_link2cat (link_id, category_id) VALUES (9, 1)
Is there a fix?
Thanks

I love your plug-in and am getting excellent use from it with one exception:
The YouTube videos display fine on the main page and on their individual post pages but not at all on Category, Archives, or Tag pages. The posts are “broken” on these pages: no player is visible and the “[DESC]” and other tags are visible as plain text.
I have gone through the youtube.php file and the templates for the Category, Archives, and other pages, but I do not see a way to fix this. Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

Sam: The current TubePress version doesn’t support WP > 2.3. I’m currently working on an upgrade to support the new version of WP.
The fix will be available soon….I will let you know

Chris: Thanks for reporting this. In youtube.php you can see that the layout is defined the same for the main page, category page, archives.
The logic is simple and as follows depending on whether you choose ThumbView option or not.
If you have ThumbView option on, it will displays the thumbnail image of the video with a small description, otherwise it displays the video.
That’s why in post pages, ThumbView is not applied, so you get to display the video.
Could you send the website and WP version? I will check it out for you.

WordPress version is 2.3.2 / PHP 5.0
I see from your post above that TubePress isn’t supported in 2.3.2, but it works flawlessly for me in all regards except being able to display the entire video on all pages. I do not want to use the ThumbView option and have it disabled, but even the ThumbView option doesn’t work on Category, Archive or Tag pages.

Thanks for the info Chris. That’s amazing that the plugin is working on WP 2.3.2 however, it cannot save the posts into categories and tags
You see, in WP < 2.3 the database structure contained a table called wp_categories which is now (WP > 2.3) replaced by wp_terms
TubePress tries to write to wp_categories but doesn’t find it….The weird thing is that you are supposed to get some warning message here as Sam reported here
Anyway, I will try to finish the new version of TubePress asap where all known bugs should be fixed and it will support video tagging on WP > 2.3
I just hope that the Wordpress team doesn’t change the database structure on every new release though

Christ: I checked your website, it seems to me that in your theme (categories.php, archive.php and those pages where u are getting the code not the video) you are using
the_excerpt() instead of the_content()….You need to use the_content() function inside the loop otherwise the code won’t be evaluated and it will be displayed as it is.
Easier way to do it is to delete these pages from your theme, so WP will use index.php (main layout) for all sections. Let me know if this solves your problem

You’re right of course about the category and tag function not working, I forgot about that. It’s easily fixed with a plugin called ‘Batch Categories’. but I don’t get an error unless I’m just not seeing it. I am going to go try to use your workaround now.
Thanks,
Chris
