Video Directory FH List

Video-Directory - developed by vBPoint.org

The Skinny
This mod is a beast in a small package. When I was working on this addition to the Video Directory I kept trying to think of more things to add. But now that version 1.1.0 RC 2 is released, I figured it was time to release the first version of this mod.

What this mod does, is basically a couple things. You can list videos on your forum home in a vertical sidebar table (If you have a sidebar already then you may need help getting this to work that way.), or you can display the videos in one of two versions of a horizontal table. The first version is just a basic version. This version only displays the thumbnail image and the name of the video linked to the video post. The second version is a more detailed version. This version allows you to list the videos to blend with the forums. The table has information such as, thumbnail, linked title, description, view count, comment count, and last comment posted by.

Installation
1. Import the product in your admincp.
2. Search in your FORUMHOME template
Find:

Code:

$navbar

Add Below:

Code:

$fhlist_shell

Find:

Code:

$footer

Add Above:

Code:

<if condition="$vboptions[vert_horiz] > 0">

</td>

</table>

</if>

Uninstall
1. Uninstall the product from your admincp.
2. Search in your FORUMHOME template
Find and delete both:

Code:

$fhlist_shell

Code:

<if condition="$vboptions[vert_horiz] > 0">

</td>

</table>

</if>

If you use this, you might want to click install. I plan to add things and if you click install, you will get an email.

Done...installed, trying to tweak it though because I am a big module user of vbadvanced and dont have a navbar...and the sidebar is screwing up my forum display...cool though was wondering when you would add something like this

Hi!

I tried it and it works fine. BUT : This addon produceses some w3c-errors. is that a specific problem of my forum?

Please see here for the list auf errors.

I have a sidebar in my forums. How I add latest videos below "recent screenshots" sidebar?

Look my style -> http://www.la-tia.com/foros/index.php

works fine but how can i get the forum intgeration that you have in the media thread and also ho wcan I make this or place the code or were si the code to use for portal integration. Ii woudl liek to have it on the portal insetad fo the forum what code woudl I use for a php block to pull the same info and remove it from forum?

www.clearwaterbiker.biz/forum

I have it installed but for me it just is too much to have on the forum page but if anyone gets this working for vbadvanced can you post or send me a note on what you did. If I get some time in the next couple of weeks I will see what I can do but if someone does it first it would be much appreciated!!

All those errors are outside my templates, so it is your forum that is doing it.

Sorry I skipped you. I am going to need to see the code from your forumhome template or whatever holds the sidebar code.

I will be installing this today myself. Does your instructions here list the code to make it "horizontal" like you have in the preview above? I want mine to be horizontal on my forum's homepage here: forums.hastyhost.com

I just asked about how to do this like 4 days ago and it's funny that you create this hehe :)

lol nevermind. Just insatlled it and it automatically made it horizontal. Sweet

The code of sidebar is located in footer template. Here's the code:

Hi,

For the horizontal method, is there a way to make it so that the table seperate them equally?

Meaning, if one video "text(title name)" is too long, it pushes the other videos over and makes the table look unbalanced.

I think this just helps the videos and forums flow well together if there is a way to keep the videos balanced or make the tables have the same width.

OR

Another method would be, taking the name out from underneath it, but I know most people would like to keep that there, but just in case, what would you do to just take the "text" out from under the video?

Thanks :)

I think it would be easier if I just did it for you. PM me an admin account to your site and I will take a look.

Thanks!

1) Last thing, is there a way we can list more than just 3 videos on the horizontal style?
2) And is there a way to change the size of the videos that appear on the forum homepage?

Thanks again!

Nevermind found it. For others that want to know how, it's in the VBoptions area for the number of videos you want to show.

As for the height, you can find this in the same template file: video_fh_bit

i edited the videos to 4 in the vbulletin options it still only shows 3 on the forum?

how can i get the code to place the random videos in the portal home page in a module?
so I increased the height and is then better with only 3 in there.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...1&d=1226752758

I want to thumbnail showing !!!

Great hack and thanks for your hard work.

Can you make a module to display Latest X videos for vBadvanced, similar to Latest Pictures module?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=193238

Regards.

this works great. thanks alot. a module is a great idea for home page

vBa module is in the works.

What file do I edit to change the name "Videos" to "Random videos - click here for more"

Great news.

Thank you very much for your time.
I look forward to your reply.

great stuff! Thanks for your hard work.

Installed

Trying to make this into a vBAdvanced module for my site isn't working on my end atm..

I hope Twilkey comes up with a vBA module soon.

Thanks

how can I show this on vbadvanced portal?

I'd like to have it so that it blends in with the forums, is that done via options in admincp?

I haven't downloaded yet, just trying to find out beforehand as I'm in the process of setting up the VideoDirectory.

Edited: I just installed it and, yes, it's done through the admincp for the options. :)

Just thought of something....can you make the text "Videos" into a link like the categories? And if so, how do you do it?

See attachment for where I'd like to make a link.

I'm finding that the links are showing without the clean URLs that vbSEO creates. I've got the main mod working perfectly with vBSEO - any ideas on how to fix?

This is exactly what i was looking for. Thnx !

Instead of Random videos, can we have best rated or latest added ?

Install!! : )

But this mod show "uncached templates"

Any thoughts on where I can find the piece to edit to get this changed to a link to the "video directory home page"?

Ok guys, I just moved and have yet to get internet. When I get it, I will go over your replies and possibly recode this to make it better.
