New ZoomIn Release – Private Places and Video Embedding
We’ve added a couple of cool features to zoomin.co.nz:
Private Places – now you can set a place that you created to be private, which means that only you will be able to see it.
Or you can set the place to be visible only to a certain group.
To do this, go to a place that you have created (or create a new place), and look on the right hand side of the page. You can alter the privacy settings under the ‘Privacy Settings’ heading.
Video Embedding – now you can embed Youtube and Google Video videos in your comments and place descriptions.
To insert a youtube video:
- find the video in youtube
- copy the URL of the page, it should be something like
- paste it into your comment text, between some youtube square brackets, like this:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46LQd9dXFRU[/youtube]
You can do the same thing with google videos, by adding something like this to your comments:
[google]http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4147604860974111184[/google]
You can see an example of an embedded video at http://zoomin.co.nz/nz/wellington/rongotai/-wellington+airport/
