    Bonjour Frederic,

    Thank you for contributing your code to Sourceforge.net. We want an easy solution for our users who live all over the world to be able to upload a video and then associate it with a place on the map. We could all share the same blog if this makes it easier. Do you think that map-blog would work for this?

    We have already installed software to convert videos to .fla format.

    If we already have apache, php, and mysql installed, I don't think that we also need easy-php, is this correct?

    Thank you,

    Jade

      Bonjour Jade,

      Thank you for your post I feel less lonely on this project ;-)

      If I understood your problem:
      You want to upload a video and then associate it with a place on the map.

      First solution

      1- Upload movie under movie.google.com or any site which give you the embedded html code.
      2- Collect the code to include the movie in html page. The embedded code looks like:
      <embed id="VideoPlayback" flashvars="" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=3794447&hl=fr" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="width: 400px; height: 326px;"/>
      3-add the embedded code in the MySQL Database table "point" column "UrlVideo".

      I do not think you can upload to video.google.com a .fla file, but most of the movie formats are accepted.
      This solution works well.

      Second solution

      Maybe you do not want to use an external web site to upload the movie...

      1- Modify the config in “/admin/juploadform.php” from the “Jupload” applet to allow it to upload movie.

      2- Modify the php code from google-map to display the movie for a point.
          It is not a hard job but you need to modify some php code.

      I use this solution before but you need a really high quality hosting with a big band width, and a big storage. I could not afford such a quality hosting, so I find it easier to use video.google.com (or youtube.com)

      Cheers,

      Frederic
