I am trying to get my slideshow videos working just like in the Gazetta template demo. The iframe video works as the Video Tutorial link shows the video just fine. Why isn't the zen tools2 module showing the video?

Published to Grid5, ID 106. Got some Custom Html above it.

    arimakidd Hi. Please tell me where should I see those videos and check the joomla panel credentials. I cannot log in with it.

        teitbite You should see the videos on the main page right below the title Video Tutorials. They are simply not showing.

          Do you want me to create an example gallery?
          At the moment you have the wrong content source together with some settings that aren't correct

          Cheers

          That would be great. Yes please.

          "It is possible to create a slideshow that uses embedded video from vimeo or youtube. The video iframes are taken from the intortext of your Joomla content or from the K2 video item. Please note that the video stops once the slide progresses to the next slide in the slideshow and so it is advised that you disable autoplay if using video in your slideshow. "

          So I would create a 2x test articles and add some sample content + video - is this ok to do?

          This is what I did and it doesn't work. But yes, feel free to create 2 test articles and please use Youtube iframes not Vimeo. Feel free to use these 2

          ok my shift is over now but if this isn't picked up by the other forum team members I will set this up tomorrow for you

          How did you get it to display on the 'About Us' page? Is it that the <p>{loadposition video}</p> will only work in the 'video position'? Notwithstanding in your 'Video Example' module, ID 91 the menu assignment is 'All Pages' so why does it show only on the About Us page? I am trying to get it to show in Grid5 position of the home page.

          loadposition is a core joomla plugin

          loadposition allows the loading of a non template module position into an article e.g. create a new module and type a new position name

          It only loads in the article with the loadposition syntax

          loadposition is a great plugin to use and is used on all the joomlabamboo demo sites

          Okay, I think I got the hang of it. Let me experiment a little more.

          Correct me if I am wrong. In the 'Option' settings of the Module, if I use 'Introtext' it shows the text and a small video, but if I use video it shows a big video. Is that correct?

          Would depend on the layout but yes in the example I've added it will make the video full width of the content container - normally a sidebar is added so that would make it narrower

          It is easier to work with full width video when working responsively

          What do you mean by easier? For me the into text is really important and it's what made me choose that format. The full width video didn't show the intro text.

          ok well the video layout wasn't intended to work with text but I am created a two column layout so you can what is looks like

          Cheers

          That's okay. Things are fine. You can close. Solved.
