Display VIDEO in Highslide JS image only (detail window)

[siddan]

Hello

I know there are alot of video threads out there but I have noticed something else which I have not seen anyone mentioned...
That you can have Highslide JS (image only) and still be able to view the video if you click on the Detail icon (magnifying glass) instead. Cus then it will open the normal Highslide JS detail window, where it supports video display!

I am one who finds the Highslide JS (image) to be the most nicest way to open up the images. Mostly because it can resize down the full image if the browser window is smaller, but still lets the user to click an icon to view its full size. And you can slideshow to next image with the help of the keyboard arrows.

But... it would be quite inconvenient to describe to the user to click on that magnifying glass instead to view the video once he already opened the image. And besides, I really do not want that detail view icon to display at all for the other images, cus it will only display the full sized image in normal Highslide JS.... which is a bit buggy btw regarding the slideshow.... but that´s another story, and also described in another hread

SO.... (this might sound like a new feature request) It would be perfect if once the youtube field is populated then it will recognize this and open the image in a detail window like how the magnifying glass icon will open it in as.

On the plus side, you can use AVR (Allvideo Reloaded) in the youtube field aswell, so you do not need to bother with the large Object code

Hi, this is a problem, the method needs to be set for all images before. There are two methods (highslide js, highslide js image only) in case highslide js image only. As you cannot run both links (one link - clicking on image, second link - clicking on icon) for highslide js image only. As then you will have the images in slideshow twice (because highslide js effect take the information about links to highslide js on the site).

Hey

I am not sure if I understand you correctly.
But are you saying that there can´t be two different links in Highslide mode, Highslide JS and image only?
Or do you mean that it is not possible to manipulate and link the thumbnail to a second detail window view?

However, I have uploaded a test site to demonstrate what I am talking about, where I have Highslide JS (image only) option selected and can view video by clicking the detail icon.....

Config:
Detail View Settings
Detail Window: Highslide JS (image only)

The second image, the one with sunset, has a video.

Perhaps you already knew this
So I just thought since, it can detect there is a video just by populating the field Video Code (Youtube), then perhaps there is a way (theoratically at least) to also change the link off the thumbnail.

Well, I just thought of mentioning this.... brainstorming

Hi, I know what you mean. but it is not easy as the method is rendered before redering infos of images. So all information about highslide js are rendered before you can recognize if the image is a "video" or the "image"

- highslide js - image only - all links on the side are assigned to get them as popup - so there cannot be the same method for link (clicking on image) and link (clicking on icon) by the same image ... in fact you have two links for one image (one on the image, one below the image as icon link) - in case of highslide image js - there will be conflict in case both of them will have the same method (in fact in slideshow will be image twice)
