Small jQuery plugin to easily display video thumbnails from VIMEO.
Include script after the jQuery library:
<script src="/path/to/jquery-vimeothumb.min.js"></script>
Provide a placeholder image source and include the vimeo identifier using the data-vimeo-id attribute. You can also specify the small, medium or large class to change the thumbnail size ( default: medium ).
<img src="http://placehold.it/640x360" data-vimeo-id="445774481" class="large" />
Replace placeholder images by Vimeo thumbnail
$('img').VimeoThumb();
The plugin will go through all elements, perform a JSONP call to the Vimeo API and finally replace the src attribute by the video thumbnail url. If the src has already a url cotaining 'vimeo' it will skip it.
- idSelectorName: (optional) The attribute name containing the vimeo identifier (default: 'data-vimeo-id')
- vimeoPatternUrl: (optional) Vimeo's video API url pattern (default: 'http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/%id.json?callback=?')
