I was shown a really slick module for embedding MSN SoapBox videos in your CS site. J-O Eriksson is the contributor of this module and it's really slick and super easy to deploy, configure and use.
So - use this link to get the module for your CS site (I've used it on CS 2.1 running ASP.Net 2.0 only): http://joeriksson.com/files/folders/csmodules/entry303.aspx.
Got it downloaded?
- Deploy - drop the dll in your bin directory.
- Configure - open your CommunityServer.config and add the following line to your <CSModules> section:
<add name = "SoapBox" type="CSSoapBox.CSMVPs.CSModules.JOEriksson.CSSoapBox,CSSoapBox" />
Lastly, touch your web.config and use the module.
The module is really easy to use - find the video you on http://soapbox.msn.com/, click on the share tab and grab the GUID for the video off the link field (something like this 2213e68a-a12a-4a27-8460-ed49713b2a76).
Create a little snippet-like tag: [SoapBox: 3101c07e-c3eb-49aa-9610-f80f40d244f1] and *poof* - you get a pretty sexy video player and video from soapbox:
[SoapBox: 3101c07e-c3eb-49aa-9610-f80f40d244f1]
You could always just switch to HTML mode and paste in the <embed /> code, but where's the fun in that?
