I wanna show media in my timeline. Current I have to query the item. This isn't ideal.

How do i convert the action_data to an item that cant be used with item features like players, comments and likes?

It depends on the template so put in a {debug} to see what the sub-array is, then use that. For instance, in the jrAudio item_action.tpl template its in $item.action_data so a player might look like this -

{jrCore_media_player type=$player module="jrAudio" field="audio_file" item=$item.action_data}

In the jrAction item_list.tpl template it'll be $item.action_item

That returned this
Quote: {jrCore_media_player} no media found for player (skins/n8Maestro4/jrAudio_item_action.tpl) - See more at: http://n8flex.com/pop-culture#sthash.yPQjQIok.dpuf

I suppose I could to write the long hand version for the player code.

What I really wasn't is to have timeline comments go the the media instead of the action. So if they like a song the song gets the new comment. I have to pass an item to get it to work tho.

So I got the player to show, but the action is created before the files are converted. So, the media files are not in the action_data. This is why I have been running a query.

I can handle the player but not item_detail_features.

I suppose I can try loading the item_features individually but I'd still need the item, correct?

For the record, this doesn't work for audio and video. The action is created too early for the media data and is never updated.

You can close this out now.

maybe use:

Docs: "Defining your own smarty function"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/development/1569/defining-your-own-smarty-function

and pass in whatever you have from the action and manipulate it server side then return whatever you want back to the timeline.

I am not using item_detail_features. Instead I am using {jrComment_form} And I already made my own like bar.

Thanks.
