Can't add YouTube or Vimeo videos

Using Jamroom

THANK YOU, Brian!!! I knew I had to be missing something. That access token thing didn't look right but I'd visited that Vimeo developer page and read the instructions multiple times, getting more and more confused while not seeing what was right in front of my face. Everything's working now! Thank you and Michael both for your patience in finally getting me there!

Can't add YouTube or Vimeo videos

Using Jamroom

Now, even new PUBLIC Vimeo videos are not getting artwork, nor title and duration (though they were before the update). It doesn't seem to matter whether they're private or public videos, and it doesn't seem to matter whether I put https://api.vimeo.com/oauth/access_token or https://api.vimeo.com/oauth/authorize in the access token field (is there something else I'm supposed to do?). Adding a new Vimeo video, public or private, now fetches the video but not its artwork, title, or duration.

In the screenshot of my combined video list, you can see YouTube unlisted and public videos displaying all their info, a public Vimeo video added BEFORE the update displaying its artwork and info, and three new Vimeo adds (public AND private) not displaying anything.

Thanks, Brian! It looks like we're ALMOST there. I updated the module on my test site and entered the access token ( https://api.vimeo.com/oauth/access_token) in my Global Config. And now I can add my private Vimeo videos. Yay!

BUT now they're doing what the YouTube videos were also doing before I unrestricted the Google API key... It doesn't pull the thumbnail image, the title with hyperlink, or the duration (see screenshot). Maybe there's something else I have to do at developer.vimeo.com that I'm still missing. The description of the Authentication Workflow at https://developer.vimeo.com/api/authentication is beyond me!

I can add titles and image on the Update Vimeo Video form, so I've got a workaround that's not too bad. Can't fill in the duration info myself. I can move forward with this, but it's not ideal quite yet. Can we get there?

Tag search forum results don't link to posts

Using Jamroom

Hi there. I'm really pleased with the search functionality of Jamroom and excited to use tags as well, to make useful posts and pictures easier to find.
At first I thought it was functioning beautifully, because clicking on a tag would deliver a nice hyperlinked list of the right Forum posts and Images. But then I started clicking on the titles of those Forum posts. And nothing happened. It turns out that instead of linking to the posts, the URLs in the hyperlinks all go back to the tag search. For example, in a tag search for "lotus," I get the beautiful list of forum posts shown in the attached screenshot. But the links in all those titles are all "http://stitchingbuddhas.com/tags/forum/lotus", so clicking on them just brings me right back to the list.

The Gallery image links work perfectly, taking me right to the profile with the photo and its comment thread.

It's just the Forum results that aren't working. My Forum is on a profile called Community.

Awesome news! This looks very promising. Keep me posted!

I was actually testing this video behavior on my main site but I did think of adding the test site to the list as well, for future tests. Will do.

What do you love about Jamroom 5 right now?

Off Topic

The extraordinary responsiveness of the Jamroom team (special big thanks to Paul and Michael!) The vast potential for customization and the ability to get going anyway before you’ve figured it all out. The fact that I (a low-skilled but very curious and determined puzzle solver) can do so much myself and ask for AND RECEIVE help when I get stuck. I’ve learned so much in the process!

I feel energized about my site and my teaching in a way I haven’t for months. At first, I took Ning’s discontinuation of my 2.0 Mini network as bad news but now, after three weeks on Jamroom, I feel it was a blessing in disguise!

Fiddled around and created a new Vimeo app. Now public videos can be added (with their title, thumbnail, and duration data), but my private videos, the ones we need most, and not coming through even though I've got the URLs listed as allowable. Will go play with those settings now and see if there's any wiggle room I've missed there...

Doesn't seem like there's much to change there...

Vimeo videos with these same settings that were brought over from Ning are still working (though, as we discussed in an earlier thread a week or so ago, they did not display thumbnail images and still don't display category/duration info). But new videos with these settings are not addable.

No limit reached but I removed restrictions from the app. I HAD set it up only to allow access from my sites but something in there was blocking the data flow. Not sure if it might have worked if I could have gone through the full process to verify ownership of both my own domain and my jamroom hosted url... But I'm trusting there's no risk posed by having the API key unrestricted. Please tell me if I'm wrong, and if you recommend further action. See attached screenshots to understand what was restricted in 1st API key I created and the warning on the API 2 key I'm using now to get the data to flow through.

Now, with unrestricted API 2 key, YouTube seems to be pulling all data, including hyperlinked title, thumbnail image, category, and duration. Yay!

Now it's time to get Vimeo to do the same. I'll explore the app over there and see if I find a similar restriction in my settings.
