[Plugin: Viper's Video Quicktags] Using Quicktags in Theme File (outside the loop)

Shortcodes raw in your theme obviously won’t do anything. do_shortcode() alone is not enough.

Try this:

<?php echo apply_filters( 'the_content', '[foo]bar[/foo]' ); ?>

To call the plugin outside the_content :

//the string contains the viper's shortcodes.
echo do_shortcode($String_to_apply_the_plugin);

echo $VipersVideoQuicktags->SWFObjectCalls();

That does the same thing as what I posted. ??

Hi Alex,

How can I use the above, but include the URL from a custom post field?

get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘youtubeid’, true)

Thanks and love your plug in!

Hi Alex,

I am new to WordPress. I found your plugin while searching for some plugin to allow my front end users to post with videos. But I am not sure how to use this. I have installed this and activated also. I can see it at backend. But I want to create a menu item on my website and from the menu your plugin should open and allow the user to post along with videos. Please help me . Please provide step by step instruction how this. I am using “Arras” theme.

Thanks in advance
