Support to embedding the link to the talk.

The development version of the module returns the link to the talk.

Will work on making a new proper release + a Drupal 7 port too.

Btw, here is the patch with the differences between the alpha and dev versions.

This isn't working for me at all at the moment, using -dev. I don't see an ID anywhere on the page or within the embed code, and pasting a direct link to the talk returns an error. I'm guessing the TED website may have changed formats at some point.

For example, here's a link:
http://www.ted.com/talks/barry_schwartz_on_the_paradox_of_choice.html

Here's the embed code:

<!--copy and paste--><object width="334" height="326"><param name="movie" value="http://video.ted.com/assets/player/swf/EmbedPlayer.swf"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="bgColor" value="#ffffff"></param> <param name="flashvars" value="vu=http://video.ted.com/talks/dynamic/BarrySchwartz_2005G-medium.flv&su=http://images.ted.com/images/ted/tedindex/embed-posters/BarrySchwartz-2005G.embed_thumbnail.jpg&vw=320&vh=240&ap=0&ti=93&introDuration=15330&adDuration=4000&postAdDuration=830&adKeys=talk=barry_schwartz_on_the_paradox_of_choice;year=2005;theme=how_the_mind_works;theme=speaking_at_ted2009;theme=unconventional_explanations;theme=what_makes_us_happy;event=TEDGlobal+2005;&preAdTag=tconf.ted/embed;tile=1;sz=512x288;" /><embed src="http://video.ted.com/assets/player/swf/EmbedPlayer.swf" pluginspace="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" bgColor="#ffffff" width="334" height="326" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" flashvars="vu=http://video.ted.com/talks/dynamic/BarrySchwartz_2005G-medium.flv&su=http://images.ted.com/images/ted/tedindex/embed-posters/BarrySchwartz-2005G.embed_thumbnail.jpg&vw=320&vh=240&ap=0&ti=93&introDuration=15330&adDuration=4000&postAdDuration=830&adKeys=talk=barry_schwartz_on_the_paradox_of_choice;year=2005;theme=how_the_mind_works;theme=speaking_at_ted2009;theme=unconventional_explanations;theme=what_makes_us_happy;event=TEDGlobal+2005;"></embed></object>

rjbrown99,

are you getting any error message?

The module currently supports either the embed code or the Wordpress.com snippet (the on in the form of [ted id=93], when you click on share from the TED video page).

Double checked again on a vanilla install and a live site, both running the dev version and it works without a problem.

Where did you find the embed code? I couldn't locate it or the Wordpress snippit or else I would have tried that. Yes, I did get the error message. I tried both the embed (pasted above) and a direct paste of the URL.

I didn't spend any time with the code as TED's content is on Youtube as well so I just moved to using Youtube links to it.

See the attached image.

I tried your embed code yesterday and it works without a problem for me.
What is the error message you are getting?

Hello,

Would this allow the below link to be pasted into the embed video field?
http://www.ted.com/talks/jill_bolte_taylor_s_powerful_stroke_of_insight....

Not yet,

you still have to go to the video page, click share and either get the embed code or the Wordpress.com shorthand tag
Theoretically it could be possible to get video id by parsing the page. will take a look at it sometime next week.
The module needs some love and attention, which I wasn't able to give it recently.

edit: ha! just realized dmadruga was asking pretty much the same thing.

Thanks zerolab! Excited to follow the development of this module!

Fixed in latest dev.
Can you test and let me know if it works for you?
