SPGM-Vid / Re: Thumbnails/Captions How To...

Last post by jhollin1138 - August 06, 2007, 04:23:21 PM

No ideas?  Do I need to change code?

Sorry, I had a very busy weekend and didn't get to looking into it.

All I can say is that the procedure I outlined to add captions and thumbnail works, see my son's website.  I'll try and make some time to look deeper into the code, but without seeing your code I might not be able to solve your problem.

Edit: After I hit post I had a thought.  Try renaming "Blazer.MOV" to "Blazer.mov".

This did not work.  I have the thumbnail in the same folder as the video, I have the thumbnail labeled _thb_Blazer.jpg, the video is Blazer.MOV, the description is set up just as in your example, and still nothing.

Im also not able to set up a second gallery for videos, or change the title of the sample gallery.  If I do either, it just disappears from view.

I dont have any readme files that explain how to use/create thumbnails for each individual video, or how to create a caption or title for under the thumbnails.  Anything available?

Yes.

First you need to have a thumbnail for your movie clip, you cannot use the standard default thumbnail.  Second, you need to add a line to the "vid-desc.txt" file for the caption of the thumbnail.

For example, let us say you are added a video called "modtruck.mov" to SPGM-Vid and you would like to have a caption for the video and thumbnail.  First add the thumbnail, assuming all settings are defualt, with the name "_thb_modtruck.jpg" to the same folder as the video.  Second add the following lines to the "vid-desc.txt" file, also in the same folder as the video.

Code Select Expand

modtruck.mov | Video of Custom Truck
_thb_modtruck.jpg | Thumbnail of Custom Truck

Hopefully this makes sense.

I got it.

I missed a step in the directions to add...

// Begin SPGM-Vid Add
if ( USE_SPGMVID ) require_once ('spgm-vid.lib.php');
// End SPGM-Vid Add

All is well now.  Im just an idiot.

No, not running any CMS.  I simply incorporated PHP commands in with HTML to make it look fluid with the rest of the website.  Pretty much the SPGM index.php command was inserted in an existing web page.  Thats where my trouble is now.  I need the webpage to open not just <?php require("spgm.php"); ?>, but <?php require("spgm-vid.php"); ?> as well so it will display both galleries.  What is the required code to tell it to require to open/run both?

Not sure what you ment by all that.

CMS stands for Content Management System.  For explain Mambo is one and it looks like that is what you are running.

But...
I have narrowed the problem down to the index.php file.  How can I ask it to open both files within index.php...

<?php require("spgm.php"); ?>
<?php require("spgm-vid.php"); ?>

This should open both sets of files and display picture galleries on top, and video galleries on the bottom.  Currently index.php only requires "spgm.php".

I am not sure how much help I can be the next few weeks but if you have any specific problems, feel free to ask.
