Zen Tools 2 - Can Slideshow mix Vimeo Video and Images?

ssartjb

A few questions about creating a Zen Tools 2 slideshow with a Vimeo Video:
Note: so far I have not been able to get the Vimeo video to load in the slideshow

Questions:
1. The documentation says "video iframes are taken from the introtext of your Joomla content " Do I need to use the iframe embed code directly form Vimeo? Can I add just the URL of the video if I have a plugin that enables embedding with just a URL?
2. Can I mix video and image slides? Can I use two articles, One with a video and another with an image? I didn't add any images to the article with the video. The video does not load at all in the slideshow, only a broken image tag and weirdly unformatted title.
3. If you have settings that use an article image for one article and you want to use only a video from another article in the same slideshow will you always see a broken image tag?
4. Can I use a vimeo video in a backstretch slideshow?
5. Related question about full text images. I would like to have the slide pull in a full text image. Should I add teh full ttext image via the full text image field under teh Images and links tab in the article editor or insert the image to the article text?
6. Also - if i have an article with an intro image and a full text image and want Zen Tools to ignore the intro image but pull in the full text image, can I do this?Or do I need to have an article without an intro image?

Hi,

Where can I see these issues on your website? what module (title, position)

PS. Please make sure that you are using the latest version of Zen Tools 2 (2.4.1)

Cheers

Thank you Joshua -

For now I decided to skip using the video in the same slideshow as the images. For the problem with the full text images not being pulled in, I also decided for now just to use the one intro image. I'll restore that to trouble shoot it and send some screen shots later. I would like to be able to use two different Zentools modules that will pull in in one case , the intro image and in the other the full texr image. So fat I have not been able to get the Full text images to work at all.

Don't think it is possible to mix video and images I'm afraid as alternate content types - I'll test it over the weekend to see if its possible to fake it but normal settings I think no

FullText images working does depend a little on how content in the article is structured

Do you want me to look at it on your site?

Cheers

Thank you. For now I am using a workaround (created a duplicate article) but yes- i would like to come back to using full text and full text images in one zentools module and intro text and intro images in another - so this can work with only one article, assuming it should work. I'll start another post with the appropriate title, when I am ready.
