I attempted to pupulate the YouTube module with fresh video, but when I do, I can’t get the videos to pop up like the originals do. My all redirect me to the YouTube page. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance, as this is making me nuts.

Hi njnewsroom

Click on the link below:

This is a 3-page training guide in PDF format that I recently prepared for a member of my staff. Follow the steps in that carefully and everything should work fine!

Good Luck

Chris

(PS. Please note, my module is called ‘Videos’ not ‘YouTube’ but you should be able to follow the guide OK!)

Chris …
Forgive me if I am sounding like a newb — which I am — but when I try and copy youtube video, the codes I am getting are much longer than yours. For Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0xaCB2nLS0&feature=haxa_popt00us12
I don’t get the =en parts of the code that are in the examples you gave me and on the ones already populated on the site. When I try to copy the entire code between the quote marks on the HTML code, All I get is a blank box in the video player.
Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi njnewsroom

No worries, it took me ages to figure this one out too! 🙂

OK. Step by step … take your URL as above:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0xaCB2nLS0&feature=haxa_popt00us12

Open the YouTube module in the Module Manager and click on the ‘HTML’ tab.

Change one of the bits of code that are already there, for instance:

<li><a class=”video” href=”http://www.youtube.com/v/YSfaRcmsrtw&hl=en” onclick=”return hs.htmlExpand(this, { objectType: ‘iframe’, width:425, height:355 } )”> Humanoid robot REEM-B </a></li>

into this:

<li><a class=”video” href=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0xaCB2nLS0&feature=haxa_popt00us12&rel=0″ onclick=”return hs.htmlExpand(this, { objectType: ‘iframe’, width:800, height:600 } )”> Star Trek 11 Movie Trailer </a></li>

I replaced the original URL with yours as above and also added the “&rel=0” to the end of it (this will stop YouTube loading ‘related’ videos after your feature Video has stopped playing, it looks messy if you allow this).

The caption was changed from ‘Humaoin robot REEM-B’ into ‘Star Trek 11 Movie Trailer’.

Also, as this is a ‘wide-screen’ YouTube video you will probably have to play with the width and height settings until the pop-up Highslide window looks OK.

I just tried the above code on my site and it works fine!

Hope this helps.
Chris

You’re probably ready for one yourself after all the code hacking! 🙂

Glad I could help you get it figured out.

What a cracking tutorial! Thank you so much. I don’t suppose you have any other tutorials you can share with us, please…especially for Teline II?

Thanks again.
