Free Snapshot Media Theme from WooThemes
Written by Bec on February 1, 2009 – 8:00 AM -
I found this free WordPress theme template this morning titled “Snapshot” over on WooThemes, and it looks like it could be setup as a fake tube site using hosted movie files without any effort whatsoever.
Most of their stuff you have to pay for, but that one is actually a free offering. Just click for ‘our themes” in the top nav and scroll down to demo and download it. It really looks and behaves more like a tube site would than the one they’re calling wootube. What I like is that they’re saying you don’t have to mess with custom fields to get this one up and working!
If you’d like more information on the usability of this theme check out ThemeLab’s Review of Snapshot.
The only other plugin you might want to configure and add in your page code for the “Snapshot Theme” would be the WP-Postviews plugin from Lesterchan.net, so you can show how many times that video (page) has been loaded in.

How would you set it up as a fake tube site using hosted movie files?
Is there an easy mass import function?
I can see setting it up with free hosted flash galleries but not with the actual hosted flv files?…

I don’t think there is a bulk import feature for images already on board for WordPress. My guess is you’d need a gallery plugin to manage such a function. I did some searching and only came up with one or two that specifically mention bulk uploads, one is free: NextGen, another isn’t ($20) and I’m not clear if it’s just for those on a windows server: ASP Photo Gallery
This site, All Web Design, has extensive overviews of the available photo plugins for WordPress.
Or another option for a fake tube site is to register with Nubiles.net, and get their free tube script. Their license allows you to adapt it to any niche you want, so long as you keep 2 specific text links on the script. This one does allow bulk file imports. You can see my use of it here: TeenVidTube
