Audit Trail is a plugin to keep track of what is going on inside your blog. It does this by recording certain actions (such as who logged in and when) and storing this information in the form of a log. Not only that but it records the full contents of posts (and pages) and allows you to restore a post to a previous version at any time.

To summarize:

• Log of user actions inside your blog - useful for finding out who did what in a multi-user system
• Post/page revisions and restorations - every change to a post or page is recorded and can be instantly restored to a previous version
• Differences are shown graphically
• Extensible, allowing other plugins the ability to add and display items in the Audit Trail
• Ability to track registered user page visits
• Fully localized

Download Plugin

Installation

1. Copy daikosvideowidget.php to your /plugin/widgets/ folder

2. Activate the widget on your plugin-page.

3. Drag the Daiko’s Video Widget to your sidebar and set a title + width and height (default width is 200px), and finally your own content (some videos are by default included but will disappear when you add own content).

To make your video-list just open the widget-control-panel and add your videos with the following syntax:

{MySpaceID/Google video ID/YouTube ID}@{Title}@{Link} {MySpaceID/Google video ID/YouTube ID}@{Title}@{Link} {MySpaceID/Google video ID/YouTube ID}@{Title}@{Link} {MySpaceID/Google video ID/YouTube ID}@{Title}@{Link} {MySpaceID/Google video ID/YouTube ID}@{Title}@{Link} {MySpaceID/Google video ID/YouTube ID}@{Title}@{Link}

Without the brackets. Title and Link are optional and can be ommitted.

It is perfectly OK to mix Videos from different services and with different options.

Do not add a (Line brake) on the last line…

Good Luck!
