The Videos System has been updated with a few new features and several more bug fixes.

New Features

• Option to add additional videos to each video page. Media tags supported only.
• Option for category only categories.
• The ability to set a video as featured on the main page. Option includes a prominent display for a single video or if multiple videos are set as featured, the global block layout will be used.
• Integration with the new my media plugin.
• Ability to add a url to a thumbnail image instead of uploading. Selection between automatic, upload thumbnail and enter thumbnail url has already been improved.

Bug Fixes

• Video System Suddenly Stop Creating Topic For Videos
• Global Hook
• my media integration
• Facebook like
• Smiles in comment form
• Mobile pm reply
• Video thumbnail in search engines
• [Bug] Rebuild Videos

[Chris M.]

Hmm acceptable conditions except for one thing - When posting mymedia videos with the url thumbnail option. Thumbnails end up broken because the url was in a link. So it would be as this: website.com/uploads/videos/thumbnails/http://website.com/uploads/videos/thumbnails/thumb-1.jpg


Well if you need help with 2.3.1 im here to help.

Confirmed bug, I've added a manual patch in the bug report here.

[Chris M.]

One more thing it also happens in the category other videos view when viewing a video.

I've updated the bug report. Will be fixed next update.

[Chris M.]

How long will the next update be? Because I remove the use of thumbnails for the side bar temporarily until fixed.

[Michael]

I hate to give etas, especially if I can't keep them. What I'll do is provide a patch for all areas affected so you can at least enable thumbnails until the update.

[Chris M.]

K

I hate ETAS. too (I have to make up a lot of them too, because of updates). It's sometimes frustrating, but I get used to some of them, depending on the circumstances.

Just found out that "Extra Videos" supports: Iframe, Embed, Object and some Javascript tags. (Good thing )

Can I ask one suggestion? when making it extra videos: wen submitting can each video have it's own title bar saying extra video? (Unless the tabbed thing is planned for that version).

I have another question.... I see there is a cat_images folder; does that mean that the Categories can have images?

Yeah I was thinking about it but the tabbed option is a definite thing.

Support not actually included, just added the folder.

Addition:

SideBarHook - List View - Global Box Sort By?: Video Views:

First go to look &Feel>Skin>skins_video_external>SidebarHookTemplate

Find:

<span class='date'>{$this->lang->words['vs_date_added']}: {parse date="$r['date']" format="long"}</span>

Add Directly Below:

<ul><li>{parse format_number="$r['views']"} {$this->lang->words['views']} {$this->lang->words['vs_views']}</li></ul>

This will show the amount of views the video has in the sidebar template. I used this addition when I wanted the sidebar to show videos with the most views. it's really handy.

Micheal I just Finished Taking Japanese. Im wondering if it's ok to make a Japanese language pack. if it's possible. I havent done any kind of language pack before. Im fluent in Spanish, and I took Japanese now, but I don't know how to make language packs. Can you give me some help on how to make one?

[Michael]

Good on you, I'm hoping to learn another language this year myself. Here are a few links to help you out:

http://community.inv.../languages-r584
http://community.inv...p?app=languages

The second one you'll probably be most interested in, some conversion already done.

[Chris M.]

So hows the tabs and other feature's progress coming along?

Im 7% done with the Japanese Translation

[Michael]

So hows the tabs and other feature's progress coming along?

I start within a few weeks. Beginning of June just in case something else comes up.

[Chris M.]

Is it possible to make the categories order them selves by alphabetical order instead of you having to do it manually.

[Michael]

Not without modification, it uses the position field for sorting.

Open admin/applications_addon/other/videos/sources/categories.php

Find:

'order'    => 'c.parent_id, c.position',

Replace With:

'order'    => 'c.name ASC',

Save admin/applications_addon/other/videos/sources/categories.php. You'll need to rebuild your category cache.
