Video Gallery

Update: We’ve created a wordpress plugin so you can easily put a gallery on your blog: Vodpod Plugin for WordPress

The Vodpod API provides a powerful way to create video galleries on your site, without any server code required.

All API calls can return either XML or JSON, and you can use the JSON and some JavaScript to create a video gallery like the one below. You can either use the code for this gallery as-is, tweak it to fit your needs, or come up with something even cooler on your own (let us know at feedback@vodpod.com if you do).

The Video Gallery we’ve created consists of a few javascript files (Prototype is required), a CSS to style the gallery, and a bit of HTML placeholder code, which specifies where on the page the Gallery will be rendered.

Files

• gallery.js (Video Gallery code, hack this at will!)
• prototype.js (Version 1.5.0. You may already have this)
• builder.js (Part of the Prototype library)
• gallery.css (Styles for the gallery)

Required HTML
