Blogger Install

From VPIP

[edit] Blogger Install

Here are the steps to install vPIP on Blogger:

1. Download by right clicking the --> vPIP link <-- and Save ... As "vpip.zip" to a location on your computer.
   Previous Releases:
   • version 1.12
   • version 1.11
   • version 1.01

   
   

   

2. Extract vPIP.zip to create the vPIP folder
3. Upload either the vPIP folder or it's contents to an accessible internet location. It can be on any file sharing system or other server that can be accessed as a URL through HTML.
   Note: If you don't have a internet location to upload to, alternate locations will be specified in the steps below.
4. From the Blogger Dashboard click on the "Change Settings" icon and choose the "Template" tab.
5. Scroll down just before the closing </head> tag and copy & paste the following lines in:

   <script src="http://[url where vPIP was uploaded to]/vpip.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <style type="text/css" media="all">@import "http://[url where vPIP was uploaded to]/vPIPBox.css";</style> <script src="http://[url where vPIP was uploaded to]/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="http://[url where vPIP was uploaded to]/vpipit.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

   > Replace [url where vPIP was uploaded to] with the web server location you uploaded the vPIP content to in step 2 above. <

   Note: Don't include the script line for vpipit.js above or below if you don't want movie links that are not already set to vPIP, to be automatically set to use vPIP.

   If you don't have a internet location to upload to, use the following alternate locations:
   <script src="http://vpip.org/downloads/vPIP1.13/vPIP/vpip.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <style type="text/css" media="all">@import "http://vpip.org/downloads/vPIP1.13/vPIP/vPIPBox.css";</style> <script src="http://vpip.org/downloads/vPIP1.13/vPIP/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="http://vpip.org/downloads/vPIP1.13/vPIP/vpipit.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

   Note: vpipit.js converts any <a href=...> links to call vpip if their recognized to have movie file types and not already call another script in the onclick= value. The conversion only happens when the web page loads completely. So for example, if somemone clicks on a link before the web page fully loads, the link would not be set to vPIP if it wasn't previously.

   

6. Click the "Save Template Changes" button.

That's it. You are now ready to use vPIP in writing your blog posts. To get information on doing that, go to the Using vPIP page.
