Combined Videos Category Search


Design and Skin Customization

I have the list showing but when I click on Howto & Style the page comes back with just howto and returns no videos. Its the same for every category that contains more than one word.

Thanks Paul was pulling my hair out here, even tried passing the chart_field value in via a variable and still no go. I feel I would be better getting rid of video charts completely rather than just having it for uploaded videos currently. Sure I could add it for youtube aswell but it would still be two sections and that's not what I want.

Early attempts would seem you cant use *_stream_count as the charts only seam to function if you use the full name.

Hey guys

Gave this module quick fiddle with and to get the same seamless list of videos in charts does this module support wildcard search in the chart_field variable?

ie For jrVideo it is video_file_stream_count and jrYouTube it is youtube_stream_count, so to capture both I would need to use *_stream_count.

Andon this note is there an example of a seamless charts about?

I tried for days with that method and couldnt get it to work so I ended up going with the method in my last post. Problem I am now having with this is videos in categorys with more than one word dont show as everything after the first word is getting cut off.

I suppose an easier way might to limit the categories across modules to be the same, using a select field.

Then use something like this

            {$allcats = array('Film & Animation',
                         'Autos & Vehicles',
                         'Music',
                         'Pets & Animals',
                         'Sports',
                         'Travel & Events',
                         'Gaming',
                         'People & Blogs',
                         'Comedy',
                        'Entertainment',
                        'News & Politics',
                        'Howto & Style',
                        'Education',
                        'Science & Technology')}

            {foreach $allcats as $v}
                <li><a href="{$jamroom_url}/videos2/search_area=video_category/search_string={$v}">{$v}</a></li>       
            {/foreach}

Problem with that method I suppose would be it will list all categories rather than just those with videos in.

I think this is proving to be beyond me, even the display area is acting up. But back to this problem.

My thinking was to have two seamless list calls and assign variables to each ie.

        {jrSeamless_list modules="jrVideo,jrYouTube" template="video_category2.tpl" group_by="youtube_category" order_by="youtube_category asc" assign="ycats"}
        {jrSeamless_list modules="jrVideo,jrYouTube" template="video_category2.tpl" group_by="video_category" order_by="video_category asc" assign="vcats"}

Then somehow combine these and output them into the block. But as of yet not having any success.

I am beginning to think my plans are too complicated for my skill level lol
