Hi, how do we add new video articles with videos embedded in them? I know that video articles are found under Content > Categories > Videos.

If it’s ok to include instructions on how to make thumbnails appear, that would be great!

I tried looking for documentation on this but could not find the answer to my question.

Hi thanks! Will try it out immediately.

I was just wondering, the plug-in didn’t come with the JA Fubix quickstart pack?

Edit: Got it to work, no thumbnail though.

Hi there,

For “AllVideos” plug-in to work on your site, you have to download it, install it via Extensions -> Extension Manager and publish it via Extensions -> Plugin Manager.

JA Fubix Quick Start out of the box pack contains the following add-ons:

————————

2. JA Extensions Supported

JA Slideshow module
JA Content Popup module
JA Side News module
JA Countdown module
JA Tabs plugin
JA Disqus Debate Echo plugin
JA Bookmark plugin
T3 framework plugin
JA Extensions Manager Component

3. Third Party Extensions Supported

K2 Component
Acymailing Component

Cheers,

Alex

Thanks, alexsmirnov! That’s what I thought, you’ve been very helpful from the start.

Regarding thumbnails though? Can we add them?

How do we add them?

Hi Matt,

The “Must See Videos” which is missing thumbnails on your screenshot is our “JA Content Popup” module. You can find it in your Joomla module manager:

If you open this module in out of the box JA Fubix Quick Start, you’ll notice that it pulls out articles from the “Videos” category:

In order for the “Must See Videos” JA Content Popup module to display thumbnails, the articles of the “Videos” category must have an image:

There you have it.

Regards,

Alex

I’m sorry to reopen this thread, but I discovered that the picture I added on the article now shows up on the video pop-up.

Looking great but…

when I opened the “article” or the video page, there’s the pic

<p>{youtube}ZOy0YgUDwDg|640|390{/youtube}</p>
<p><img src="images/testvideo.png" alt="" /></p>

Can we make this invisible on the page itself? I hope its not one of those little inconveniences that we cannot fix.. 🙂

Hi Matt,

I’ll have to refer this scenario to our JA core developers to have a look at for you. Please bear with us.

Regards,

Alex

As can see you added the image in the article code thats why its coming on full view .
Try this
remove the image code from article body and
add
it in intro image .
from article images and links options .
let me know if it helps

@cebusportingclub: This is temporary solution to fix this problem on your site. Please follow steps below:

Open the templates/ja_fubix/html/mod_jacontentpopup/default_item.php file:

Change


if(empty($row->image)){
//extract youtube id

$row->image = '<img src="' . $tplurl . '/images/video-placeholder.jpg" title="' . $row->title . '" alt="' . $row->title . '" />';
if(preg_match_all('@<iframes[^>]*src=["|']([^"'>]+)[^>].*?</iframe>@siu', $row->text, $iframesrc)){

if(isset($iframesrc[1])){
$vid = str_replace(
array(
'http://youtu.be/',
'http://www.youtube.com/embed/',
'http://youtube.googleapis.com/v/'), '', $iframesrc[1][0]);

$vid = preg_replace('@/.*?@i', '', $vid);

$row->image = '<img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/'. $vid . '/0.jpg" title="' . $row->title . '" alt="' . $row->title . '" />';
}
}
}


To


if($row->image !='modules/mod_jacontentpopup/assets/img/blank.gif'){
//extract youtube id
$row->image = '<img src="' . $tplurl . '/images/video-placeholder.jpg" title="' . $row->title . '" alt="' . $row->title . '" />';
if(preg_match_all('@<iframes[^>]*src=["|']([^"'>]+)[^>].*?</iframe>@siu', $row->text, $iframesrc)){

if(isset($iframesrc[1])){
$vid = str_replace(
array(
'http://youtu.be/',
'http://www.youtube.com/embed/',
'http://youtube.googleapis.com/v/',
'//www.youtube.com/embed/'), '', $iframesrc[1][0]);

$vid = substr(preg_replace('@/.*?@i', '', $vid),0,11);

$row->image = '<img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/'. $vid . '/0.jpg" title="' . $row->title . '" alt="' . $row->title . '" />';
}
}
}


Let me know if it helps.
