Preview Youtube video instead of image. was created by Topah

Hi,

I bought the Enterprise version and seems like it has a lot of possibilities. That's why I would like to know is it possible to have a YouTube video instead of the image when listing the products? I sell instructional videos (downloadable products) and it would be nice to have a preview video of each video I am selling instead of the thumbnail image. Actually I don't need any images to my products.

Can this be solved? I am not a programmer.

Thank you in advance

Tomi

There is no option for that.
However, it can be added by creating a custom field of the table "product" via the menu Display->Custom fields and then editing the file listing_img_title of the view "product" and replacing the block of code for the image ( between  and 
by some code to display the video. For example, with this extension extensions.joomla.org/extensions/multime...layers-a-gallery/812 and a youtube video, you would add the id of the video in the custom field of your product and in the view file the code :
<?php echo JHTML::_('content.prepare','{youtube}'.$this->row->CUSTOM_FIELD.'{/youtube}'); ?>

where CUSTOM_FIELD would be replaced by the column name of the custom field.

Hi,

Thanks. Great product and well spent money. I got the YouTube now working with the product listing but when I click to the actual product listing it will show : Specifications and then the actual id. Not the video anymore. Which custom field I need to edit to make it work at the actual product page?

Thanks

It's the file "show_block_img" that you need to edit for that. Remove everything in it and add your code.
Also, change $this->row by $this->element in the code for that view file.

Thanks for the advices.

I have been trying to modify the YouTube videos to several places where there is images.

But I could not find a solution how I can add it to the Image and description view (type of item layout). I want to replace the image with that YouTube video.

Thanks for help...

It's hte file "listing_img_desc" of the view "product" that you want to edit, in the same way as explained for listing_img_title.

No, if you get that error, is means that the code you write is not valid.
Can you give the lines you have now ?

Hi. I wanted to reply to my old topic. I've been using the YouTube video as the substitute for the image but one thing has been bothering me and now I want to ask how to fix and hide those dots (see the image)?

I use DIV style layout for product listings. listing_img_title has been the file I've been editing and where the dots appear.

I hope you can help with this one because I've already used the search and did not find a solution to this.

Cheers

Hi,

This is probably added by your template, you can follow this tutorial to find from where these dots come from and remove them.

Hi.

I managed to find a solution from another topic. I added this to the CSS file and they are gone

.thumbnails {
list-style: none;
margin-left: 0;
padding-left: 0;
}

Remove the borders and increase the size of the images in the hikashop options of the related products module and then upload the image for each product and you will be able to get the same look.

Did you enter the id of the video in the custom field value of your products ?

Did you configure properly the youtube extension you installed ?

The modification on HikaShop's code is correct as far as I can see.
