Re: [xwiki-users] Video Macro not working ?

That seems to work now. interesting though, when I add an http URL the first time it works fine; however if I re-edit the page then the httpURL gets interpreted by the Wiki and corrupts the link, for example if I add this: #video('http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5yyb9_sarkozy-en-off-sur-france-3_news') save the page and then later I re-edit the page the http link is saved as: #video('http://www.dailymotion.com/video/ x5yyb9&#95;sarkozy&#45;en&#45;off&#45;sur&#45;france&#45;3&#95;news') and an error is thrown: Error number 4001 in 4: Error while parsing velocity page Tutorials.SAFTutorialBuild Wrapped Exception: Failed to evaluate content with id SAFTutorial Build <http://demo.usharesoft.com:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Tutorials/SAFTutorialBuild com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 4001 in 4: Error while parsing velocity page Tutorials.SAFTutorialBuild Wrapped Exception: Failed to evaluate content with id SAFTutorial Build <http://demo.usharesoft.com:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Tutorials/SAFTutorialBuild at com .xpn .xwiki .render.XWikiVelocityRenderer.evaluate(XWikiVelocityRenderer.java:231) at com .xpn .xwiki .render.XWikiVelocityRenderer.render(XWikiVelocityRenderer.java:93) at com .xpn .xwiki .render .DefaultXWikiRenderingEngine .renderText(DefaultXWikiRenderingEngine.java:252) at com .xpn .xwiki .render .DefaultXWikiRenderingEngine .renderText(DefaultXWikiRenderingEngine.java:176) at com .xpn .xwiki .render .DefaultXWikiRenderingEngine .renderText(DefaultXWikiRenderingEngine.java:145) at com .xpn .xwiki .render .DefaultXWikiRenderingEngine .renderDocument(DefaultXWikiRenderingEngine.java:134) at com .xpn.xwiki.doc.XWikiDocument.getRenderedContent(XWikiDocument.java: 423) at com.xpn.xwiki.api.Document.getRenderedContent(Document.java:371) at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor328.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun .reflect .DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl .invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) ... partial exception, the rest has been removed at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) I know there is a notion of {pre} that stops xwiki interpeting parts of the page to stop this, however I was suprised that xwiki did this in a macro. How can I stop this happening ? I have a more generic question; if you wish to use a widget in html as part of the wiki, what is the best way to go about this ? Do you have to create your own Macro ? or is there a way to tell xWkki to parse a block as html ?
