Question About Debug and Datastore
Using Jamroom

Thanks brian
I will try to explain better
I have the debug in the jryoutube_index.tpl right now
I dont think i need a list- i just need a single item
What i am after is the youtube id from a page thst contains a single youtube video player
So if you play a youtube video on my site or my profile the smarty code gets the youtube id of that video and places it in the meta tag ( where i have it in the above code)

Question About Debug and Datastore
Using Jamroom

I can pay someone with PayPal to help me get this part

<meta property="og:image" content="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/{$item.youtube_id}/mqdefault.jpg" />

When I see how 1 is written and works I think I can get the rest myself

I just need the 
{$item.youtube_id}
to display the youtube_id in the above url

Pls let me know if you are interested

Question About Debug and Datastore
Using Jamroom

Eventually my plan was to have 3 templates added into the meta.tpl

Youtube_Meta
Video_meta
Image_meta

Then wrap all that in some sort of if/else thing so that
if the page is youtube- it uses the youtube meta
if the page is jrVideo-it uses the jrVideo meta
and if the page is an image it uses the image meta data...
Make sense or a waste of time?

Question About Debug and Datastore
Using Jamroom

What I am doing is adding all this code to a template and naming it youtube_meta.tpl
<meta property="og:url" content="{$current_url}" />
<meta property="og:type" content="movie" />
<meta property="og:title" content="{$page_title|capitalize}" /> 
<meta property="og:description" content="{$youtube_description}" /> 
<meta property="og:image" content="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/{$item.youtube_id}/mqdefault.jpg" />
<meta property="og:image:width" content="480"/>
<meta property="og:image:height" content="360"/>
<meta property="og:site_name" content="Eagle Sports Video" />
<meta property="og:updated_time" content="{$smarty.now}" />

THEN IN MY META.tpl file I am adding this

{jrCore_include template="youtube_meta.tpl"}

So the docs on adding the capture are really confusing me and the {jrCore_list} is confusing me even worse....should I be adding the template to the meta using {jrCore_list module=...? sorry man...thought I was about to get this but now Im as lost as ever

Question About Debug and Datastore

Neither of these work
<meta property="og:image" content="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/{$item.youtube_id}/mqdefault.jpg" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/{$item.youtube_id =>}/mqdefault.jpg" />

The first one returns this in the page source code
<meta property="og:image" content="http://i.ytimg.com/vi//mqdefault.jpg">

and the second one breaks the website

Question About Debug and Datastore
Using Jamroom

Dang it- its ALL THERE NOW! :) What a great 5 hour lesson of endless scrolling through a debug console until my vision blurred- wont forget this one! :)

Ok- so here is what I got from the debug

{$item}                        youtube_id => "AdttvLChEkw"

In the video i watched concerning $config you say to drop the smarty bracket and add a dot

so is this what I need?

{$item.youtube_id =>}

Seems like everytime I see this => there is ALWAYS something after it like ()...so I wanted to ask

Question About Debug and Datastore

ok so putting the DEBUG in the meta.tpl was a mistake? I should have added it to ONE OF the youtube templates?
Ok going back to add the debug inb a new place and try...:)
( I should have been a brain surgeon- it would have been easier. I thought "webmaster" was perfect for a guy who drank to much growing up and never studied)

Have you tried going to ACP>SYSTEM CORE.ADMIN>QUOTA
Select "ADMIN" in the drop down then check "allow all html tags" and save?

Question About Debug and Datastore
Using Jamroom

I am working with the youtube/facebook share meta tags so that they pull the proper info when posting a link to youube-I have quite a bit of it finished by using the datastore and DEBUG console

Here is my problem with og image and og description
The default templates use code like this
<meta property="og:description" content="{$youtube_description}" /> 
<meta property="og:image" content="https://img.youtube.com/vi/{$youtube_id}/mqdefault.jpg" />

But when you look at the page source code these 2 pieces are not getting ANY data and are left blank in the page source code

{$youtube_description}
{$youtube_id}

When I check the datastore the information is contained in there- but when I look in the DEBUG console its not in there...how do I get it into the debug console so it will show up when I add it to a template
Sorry if my description is a little off-This is new territory for me
