I am running on localhost, so i don’t have url, etc. for you, but here is the problem:
When i add a video to teline iii and publish it, my home page breaks. What happens is the two right hand columns drop down to under the left hand side, leaving a big empty space in the right.

If i UNPUBLISH the article, then the home page looks normal.

This seems to happen in Safari, but not in Firefox. I have not been able to test on windows.

I am using JCE advanced media, but it seems tio be a problem if i add video by any means. Can someone please help. Our deadline is approaching at warp speed!
Thanks,
Stephen:cool:

Hello,
How did you add a video?
Is it within an article? Or within a module?
Articles with code-stuff from Microsoft Word can break pages in this way.
Did you paste text directly from Word? If so you have to clean your code.

Micrantha

Hi Micrantha,
No i did not paste from word.
I added the video in an article. I used jce advanced media manager, pasted a you tube url and description into the text window.

what code would be causing the break?
can i show it to you?

here is the code:
<p>
<object height=”350″ width=”425″ codebase=”http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=10,0,32,18″ classid=”clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000″>
<param name=”src” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/3t-LNRcMFSc” />
<param name=”allowfullscreen” value=”true” />
<param name=”quality” value=”best” />
<param name=”wmode” value=”opaque” />
<param name=”name” value=”Robert” /><embed height=”350″ width=”425″ name=”Robert” wmode=”opaque” quality=”best” allowfullscreen=”true” src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/3t-LNRcMFSc” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash”></embed>

Hi M.
I think it is something in the code of the text that I pasted. A test page works with just the video and freshly typed text.

I would still like to know the procedure for copying text from Youtube, if you examine my code above.

thank you so much.
Another issue is on the front page, I am using the styling of the telineiii demo.
Each Section and Category has a short “contents” with a picture of the video window. The window is too big for that space and is messy. Can we fix that?
🙂

Do email addresses in a page cause problems?

It seems to in this case?

Hello,
I pasted your code in an article on local quickstart installation of Jateline III, and nothing strange happens: all stays well, columns don’t get pushed away, email links no problem???
So what is wrong in your settings? I have no idea.

Ja-News2 module with resize-option cannot work properly with video-image instead of normal image. You have to disable resize-option and adapt your settings to video dimension.
You could make use of popup-function in this template, show a thumbnail of video which by clicking pops up the bigger version.

good luck,
Micrantha

THANK YOU, MICRANTHA!
YOU ARE ON TOP OF THIS TEMPLATE!
Regarding the code: It reads ok for me on Firefox as is, but on Safari it breaks the template. Did you test it on Safari? Also I don’t have windows so how does it look on windows IE? what I found was that if I took the @ out of email address it worked on Safari… strange, eh?

Regarding the JA News2… if I disable Resize Options, won’t that effect ALL of the nice category summaries? I like the images in the other ones.

How do I adapt settings to video dimension?

I LOVE THE IDEA OF PopUps for this. How do I do that?
Thank you again. You are very kind.

Hello,

In my test of your code on windows machine I see no problem in Firefox, IE7 and Safari for Windows.

In any case, when you disable resize option the images are shown as in article, so you have to give them adequate dimension. That’s what I mean with “adapt settings to video dimension”. If you cannot use the resize option, the preview image of video must have a size that fits in the space you have for it in JaNews2.

For using the popup plugin of template look into manual for it: http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/ja-popup-plugin/

Good luck,
Micrantha
