Videos Support

[SC36DC]

Also, could you please tell me how to change the words "Key" and "Value" when adding Extra Videos.

 

I would like to change it to something more straightforward so people understand what to enter in each field. Like the following:

 

BTW, is it possible to add a way that once they click in the text field to enter the title and url, the placeholder text goes away, right now they have to delete it manually.

Thank you!!

Any updates with this please, thank you.

It shouldn't be too much longer.

That's currently a technical limitation of IPB because I'm using the "Key Value" field. Hopefully IPB 4.5 will allow me to add my own custom language bits and I can fix this then.

That's understandable. Thanks for letting me know. At least I was able to change the text within the fields.

Feature Request:

Is it possible to add the ability to set a character or word limit for the comments shown in the 'Video Comments' block. Just in case someone (has happened to me) leaves a long comment. This way the size of the block will stay consistent when displayed. 

Thank you.

Is this for the sidebar widget? There should already be something to truncate longer text after 6 lines.

Yes, for the sidebar widget. And yes you are correct. I just checked. I have one comment that is truncated at 6 lines. I didn't know that this was already in there. Is it possible to explain how/which file to edit to change the amount of 6 to maybe 3 or 4? Many thanks Mike!

If you open your acp > look & feel tab > videos > front > widgets > videosComments

Find and change:

data-ipsTruncate-size='6 lines'

Save.

Perfect. Easy fix. Thanks again Mike.

I did reply to the last private message you sent me, when you get a chance I'd appreciate if you could check it out. Thank you!!!

I have a Request 🙂

Can you make the Video App coincide with the Ignore Functions?
For example. If someone Ignores a Users on the website.
They will no longer see their Videos within the Video Section.
And they won't see them on the Activity feed.

Thanks for the help!

If IPS include support to extend into the ignore feature, I should be able to add this in a future version.

Does anybody know where I can find basic guidance on integrating the Videos plugin into my site?  I’ve purchased and installed the plugin, but am not sure what to do next.  The company has been completely non-responsive to my multiple requests for assistance.

What exactly have you been able to do so far? What are you trying to do?

[Admin 1]

I would like to have a page where the videos live, and then a way to preview a handful of them on the main page of the site.

I’m pretty inept at this, so could use very basic instructions. 

Thus far other than installing the plugin I’ve done nothing.

If the application is already Enabled, did you go to your Menu Manager in the ACP under System>Menu Manager? You then click 'Add Item' and select 'Videos', you can drag it and place it where you want in your menu, it defaults placing and newly added item first (at the top). When done make sure to click 'Publish this menu'. This will add it to your menu, if it didn't already once you installed and enabled it.

Is there a way to select how many videos are included in the "latest videos" section?

And in a related question, can I select videos to be featured, or are they always based on most recently added?

Heya,

Since setting this up it's posting the newly published video in new topic discussions on my forums which is amazing, but it's doing it using random usernames

Have I done something wrong? (I put in my username to post from me in the video settings)

In the videos settings.

And yes, in the manage dropdown for each video, you can select which videos are featured and only "featured" videos will then appear in that tab or the front carousel.

Could you please take a screenshot of the setting?

Someone messaged me asking how to add a video, I signed in as them to test things out and found out the "Add Video" button does not show for them. They have permission to add videos, they are in a group that can add videos, do you have any idea why they are not able to? I would appreciate some help with this. Thank you.

have we a date for 4.5 compatibility release yet?

[SC36DC]

I am still dealing with members of my forum unable to "Add Video" to the Videos section. While permissions are all set correctly, they do not have the option to add a new video. Anyone else experiencing this?

Yes, is it possible to get an update on when the new 4.5 compatible version will be released? This week, next week, next month?

Thank you.
