Ideally I would like to increase the size of the videos that appear in the Latest Videos widget. I've looked at the widget settings but can't see a way of doing this.
I've also looked at the "template=profile_index_video.tpl", but again cannot see how to increase the size.

I'd also like to increase the profile image size in the Latest Profiles widget.

Is there a way to do this?

Thank you

The video player will adjust to the size of the widget I believe - so you need to give more columns to widget in the page layout.

Let me know if that helps.

Hello Brian,
I'm not seeing any change regardless of the column size. I was hoping to fill the space more by enlarging the size of the video images. As it is, the widget is mainly white space with an array of small video images down one side (please see image).

Is that a widget or from a template? If it is a widget, then making the column it is in wider should make it wider. If not, you can modify the widget templates in the Video module templates tab to make the image larger.

Let me know if that helps.

Hello Brian
The widget is the default one in the Ninja Skin within Site Builder.
However, I cannot see where it is possible to enlarge the size of the videos.
There are lots of widget templates on the Video Module, so I'd need to know which one and what exactly to change.

Please see attached image. The image shows both the current size and the size I would like to achieve.
The smaller (default) size leaves the rest of the column space mainly empty, which looks very unprofessional.

What you're seeing is not videos, but images belonging to the videos. They are laid out in a row with the image in a column that is 2 wide and the text in a column that is 10 wide. ( total must equal 12 for a full row ).

I believe you're wanting to make the images about 6 wide, so change the col2 to col6 and the col10 to col6 for that row.

Yes, thank you Michael.

I realise they are not the playable videos themselves.
Your suggestion was spot on! I have also implemented this in other places

Many, many thanks,
Alex

I know it's been awhile since I started using Jamroom, and as an amateur I haven't had a great deal of time to get to know much about the way Jamroom websites and the coding work. But thankfully, the Site Builder with the new Ninja skin works a treat, and I am slowly learning WITH YOUR HELP (impossible without) to make some signification improvements to my new Jamroom website. http://regal-network.com/france/
Thank you so much Michael, Brian, and Douglas, for all your help and patience! It is greatly appreciated.
