FORA.tv Tools
Overview Welcome to the FORA.tv tools demo page. Below you will find various tools that you can use to link to or embed a program found on FORA.tv on your site or blog.
The available tools are:
  • Embedded Partner Widget
  • Embedded FORA.tv Player
  • Direct link to program landing page
  • Direct text only link to fully featured FORA.tv player
  • Direct link to fully featured FORA.tv player with image
Any code highlighted in red is dynamic, meaning it is unique to the program. Everything else is static. Many sites like MySpace and sites with advanced discussion software will automatically remove the necessary code to embed the player or launch the fully featured FORA.tv player. The direct link to the program landing page is the only available way to link to a FORA.tv program in those situations.

Clip ID's In order to get the clip ID of a posted clip, you need to launch the program in the FORA.tv player and from within the player, search for the word "id" without the quotation marks.
