Hey party people,
Anybody know how to have multiple sized videos using allvideos plugin. In other words a way to bypass the master size in the mambot settings? or more specifically for youtube videos. Or .. any other video plugin suggestions. Rocket theme rules
thanks in advance!

Not sure how to change it in the plugin but if you add it hard coded into an item with the embed tag you can weasel youtube vids by changing the width and height within the tag:
<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value=" www.youtube.com/v/Fc1LL5if2kM "></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src=" www.youtube.com/v/Fc1LL5if2kM " type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
Just make sure you change both the tags in red to the same thing when embedding and try to keep your aspect ratio "scaled" so stuff doesn't start looking too stretched.
I peeked in the code for the allvideos plugin and found the stuff for youtube around line 120 in plugin_jw_allvideos.php
but unclear how to add an override without borking it....Maybe ask around on www.joomlaworks.gr/ about getting this accomplished..........I'm sure your not the only one that wants to do this.......
The attached file is just a very quick example of using the embed tag and tweaking the size of a youtube video, just open it with your favorite browser and take a peek at the source..... - Last Edit: 18 years 1 month ago by SureLurksalot.

hey there i thought you can't embed vids like that in Joomla software? Please though enlighten me. It would certainly make life ridiculously easy. I just tried adding the embed code to a module.
thanks

Sure you can embed video players into joomla modules. I embedded windows media player into a module to play gatorzone live on a site for my boss. No trick to it, just add the code to a module and you are good to go. I did it with the editor turned off, not sure if that's a must or not though.

On a side note..what editor are you using? If you are using the JCE editor, then you just need to add the syntax to jce's extended element area to let it allow the syntax you use for video. If you need me to give you a step by step on doing that, just say so and I'll post it here.
Thanks,

Hey Dave
Yes please please. I noticed the extended elements box ... don't know what to place there. Also saw an embed mambot available and this http://www.elearningforce.biz/allvideo-jce-plugin/allvideo-jce-plugin.html plugin.
THANKS SO MUCH.

OK, I learned about this extended elements area just the other day when I was trying to do image mapping with an editor in joomla. Everytime I would poste the code in, the editor would strip it out..was driving me crazy! Then I found out about the extended element area, basically it's where you can tell jce that these syntaxs are ok, and not to strip them out. Here is what you need to paste in there:
object[width|height],param[name|value],embed[src|type|wmode|width|height]
Just copy and paste that line into the extended elements box:)
Now those are exactly what you need to do youtube videos!

- You see the show/hide clickable text in the upper left of the editor? If you just click that it will turn your whole editor to an html coder. Much faster and easier than clicking html button in editor:)
