Phoca Forum

Hi,

First I'd like to say that I spent all day yesterday researching all the different Joomla photo galleries that had all that I was looking for and I can honestly say that Phoca won out .

That being said, I'm having an issue that I've seen in several posts but none of the solutions work for me. I hope I'm missing something simple. I'm using version 2.6.2.

All I want to do is click on a thumbnail in the UI and have it show a YouTube video. To that end I've followed the directions here: https://www.phoca.cz/documents/2-phoca-g ... 18-youtube but I can't get the video to display.

1. I've tried in IE and Firefox
2. I've verified that the video (see actual code below) is in the database.
3. I've turned off me SEF setting.
4. I've tried all three viable types (Modal, HighSlide JS and Standard Popup) - see results below:

Video code, pasted in the Video Code textarea:

Video Code:
[NOTE: I'm not sure if I should be when I do a View->Source on the HTML I don't see this code anywhere in it.]
<object width="425" height="355">
<param name="movie"
value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiTKJ7cSB7c&
hl=en&rel=0&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6"></param>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiTKJ7cSB7c&
hl=en&rel=0&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"
width="425" height="355"></embed>
</object>

Results:
Mode Modal Popup Box
URL: http://<my domain>/index.php/animals-section/zoe/videos/7-videos/detail/49-zoe-rolling-snarfies?tmpl=component
UI Result: Almost completely blank screen with only refresh, close and forward/backward buttons.

Mode: Highslide JS
URL: http://<my domain>/index.php/animals-section/zoe/videos/7-videos/detail/49-zoe-rolling-snarfies?tmpl=component
UI Result: Highslide Window with no video but with control buttons on the bottom.

Mode: (Standard Popup Window)
URL: http://<my domain>/index.php/animals-section/zoe/videos/7-videos/detail/49-zoe-rolling-snarfies?tmpl=component
UI Result: Almost completely blank new window with only refresh, close and forward/backward buttons.

Hi, can I see the site where this occurs?

Sure, but just keep in mind that it's a "work in progress"

Thanks,

Sorry for the impatience, but is there any update?

Thanks.
Rob

hi mate, this is a long shot as im very new to this but up until 5 mins ago i was having the same trouble and my problem was that in the parameters i had set the Detail Window to something that didnt support the video so youve gotta make sure that it is either

standard popup box
modal popup box
highslide js

either of these will show a video for me if i click on the imag thumbnail.

hope this helps mate.


p.s does anyone know if it is possible to set it up so that the videos Detail Window shows in highslide js
and the photos show in JAK lightbox? is this possible as lightbox is really nice and its a shame to loose it to enable me to show videos

Hi,

Thanks for the info but as I said in my original message, those are the three views I tried.

I'm still without a solution.

Regards,
Rob

ah sorry, that'll teach me for replying after a night in the pub

not sure what else to suggest
soz

Still no solution?

Hi, check your embed code, the code does't work in any html site

Jan

I have but one thing to say. Duh. DUH DUH DUH DUH! (OK, that's 5 things).

Sorry, I misinterpreted the directions. I thought we were supposed to copy the code from the instructions verbatim and then substitute in our own URL. I didn't realize we were supposed to replace that entire block!

Thanks Jan... my new Phoca hero!
