CakePHP Vimeo Helper
26th May, 2008 – 10:37 amI’ve just posted a new Helper over at the bakery to assist with embedding Vidoes from Vimeo.com on your CakePHP site. The helper grants you access to all configuration flags for the player. Grab it here, happy baking!
As a side note, whilst fiddling around with this helper I found it interesting to note that Vimeo directly link to the .swf file in their embed code rather than using a Wrapper Script to log incoming embed locations – I presume they are trawling their Apache logs instead – still seems a bit backwards…
