Question Regarding Seamless Module Function

I have made a page called "All Videos"
I just purchased the Seamless module so I can combine lists of both jrVideo and jrYoutube videos. I am making the edits in the template code

I start with changing this:

{jrCore_list module="jrVideo" order_by="_created numerical_desc" require_image="video_image" pagebreak=28 page=$_post.p pager=true template=$tpl}

To This

{jrSeamless_list modules="jrYouTube,jrVideo" order_by="_created numerical_desc" require_image="video_image" pagebreak=28 page=$_post.p pager=true template=$tpl}

and it seems to work fine except the Youtube video images displayed in the table are blank "?"

The remainder of the code on the page that I have tried adding seamless to are below

{jrCore_module_url module="jrVideo" assign="murl"}

{jrCore_module_function function="jrImage_display" module="jrVideo" type="video_image" item_id=$item._item_id size="medium" crop="auto" class="iloutline img_scale" alt=$item.video_title width=false height=false}</a>
                </div>
{jrCore_module_function function="jrRating_form" type="star" module="jrVideo" index="1" item_id=$item._item_id current=$item.video_rating_1_average_count|default:0 votes=$item.video_rating_1_count|default:0}
{jrCore_item_list_buttons module="jrVideo" field="video_file" item=$item}

{jrSearch_form class="form_text" value="Search Videos" module="jrVideo" fields="video_title,video_description" }

The way I have tried is replacing

{jrCore_module

With

{jrSeamless_list modules

But when I do this it really destroys my page layout

Any advice- it seems pretty simple but I am not getting it
I Have attached a screenshot of the layout it breaks up

It seems a lot of us who are coming from ning are wanting to combine all our video sources into one page displaying them together (uploaded vids, vimeo, and youtube). (SoaringE, John Bizley, me, and Curtis here...must be others)
It's on my next to do list as well, and I'll be following this thread to see how it works.

You can only use jrSeamless for lists, not anything else, so replacing jrCore_module and other calls with it will not work.

WRT the blank youtube images, is your template taking the fact that there are mixed Video and YouTube items in the listing into account?
It will need to test each item listed and use the appropriate variables to output the image etc. -

{if $item.seamless_module_name == "jrVideo"}
// Do video stuff
{elseif $item.seamless_module_name == "jrYouTube"}
// Do youtube stuff
{/if}

Yes combining has been long on my list of things to do and I even pitched it to Douglas and he has added it to his todo list, but did state it would be some time before he could investigate it.

This is an area where skins can rally be improved from a userability standpoint.

Agree 100%. Especially for Ning immigrants going to Ningja skin.

One way or another, on my own or with help, I'm going to HAVE to overhaul and 'seamless-ify' both my videos and my audios before I go live and move from ning. And it's going to have to be working properly both on my site's main page and the member profile pages, since I have a musician's network... and video/audio is a major aspect of our site.
It's a daunting task for me as a non-coder, and I'm not sure how other ning refugees have been accomplishing it, or whether they've been getting help to do it. But I see them doing it.

It didn't make sense for me to ddress the whole issue while on my sloooooow arvixe server...but now that I'm up to high speeds on my JR server I will need to be attending to this SOON. Can't migrate until it's properly set up.
My members are just NOT going to want to always go looking in five separate places for videos and audio, whereas on Ning they see it all in the two simple locations, whether clicking from the main page modules and links to "videos" and "Music", or from looking on the individual member profile pages.

The more I think about this I strongly believe it needs to be address by the core team, and let me explain why.

We end users could pull them into seamless lists on the frontend but that doesn't solve the problem on profiles which would still have them going to all different tabs.

Ideally what's required is a global switch that will combine the Music and Video modules onto one tab on the profile and frontend. When a user then clicks to add new content they get a screen asking them which service to use, in the case of Vimeo and YouTube, paste a url, otherwise select a file to upload.

This switch would be off by default, and should by right use the seamless module as a dependency. If people don't have the seamless module installed this option would never show.

The templates would be smart enough to determine which media modules are activated and available to a particular quota and show appropriate options to each.

Thoughts?

Seamless is for combining the datastores of different modules into a single list, what you seam to be asking for is a single module that can take different video formats.

@derrickhand300

Actually all I am trying to do is combine my jrVideo with jrYoutube videos into a single layout so when I make a tab that says "ALL VIDEOS" they land on a custom page I have made that's 5 columns wide and 4 rows down displaying thumbnails of the latest 20 videos ( combined from youtube and jrVideo)
It combines the 'lists" fine put the thumbnail is just a big " ? " and the link to the video does not work.

I keep forgetting when we says "lists" here I have to think of it in the jrLists way and not the way my mind thinks everyday

This is not really important right now to me though

I think it could be achieved by just a new tab to replace the other ones on profiles rather than a new module but maybe I am wrong.

Our online profiles are really a commodity these days and it needs to be as seamless as possible for people to discover content.

@michael

@gary, your talking about profiles, while @derrickhand300 is asking about top level templates. They are related but also separate issues. For the profiles, to combine 2 things, you'd need to add a third module that just adds a tab so you have a template there. Perhaps Aparna, then edit the index.tpl in that module.

---
so for this particular issue of seamless in the templates.

 {jrSeamless_list modules="jrYouTube,jrVideo" order_by="_created numerical_desc" require_image="video_image" pagebreak=28 page=$_post.p pager=true template=$tpl}

reads "Get me the 28 newest videos from the Youtube and Video modules. Make sure they have an image. Show the prev/next buttons. and make the layout how i describe it in this template $tpl"

So probably what you are getting is 28 videos back but they are not laid out in a way that you like. The part you need to adjust is whatever is in that $tpl variable.

Probably thats been created inside a {capture} section just above where you put the {jrSeamless_list ....

That is on my do list too, but I haven't figure out how to do this. I don't like the idea of having one link for youtube videos, one for JrVideo, one for Vmeo videos. I would like to have one page that will display all the videos, with options to display, latests videos, most stream and most rated.

Projam and media pro for Jamroom 4 used to have a video module call Video Wall http://www.ecuahits.com/?t=video_wall

where it display the videos from youtube, jrvideo etc.
If that module is offer again, I'm willing to buy it.

We have always had those options in Ning 2.0, just saying. It's weird to us that the three types of videos are now added and presented separately in three diff locations all the time. I know my members are not going to like it.
Here's whet I currently get on my Ning2.0 site when i click on +add video:

I'm not sure I agree that the interface for adding Youtube videos should be in the same location as the interface for uploading local content and also Vimeo (or other video type system). That seams strange to me, but its valid I guess for some purposes.

Perhaps a page that asks for a choice of which you want before showing the form to add the video, but thats already there with the tabs on the profile, so why put it there again inside the creation form...

Its really a different question than the thread though.

Could you mash-up a screenshot of what you think the interface for that form would look like?

I can't speak for others, but I want to consolidate those three TABS (videos,vimeo,youtube) on the profile pages into ONE TAB as well. You'd click on a member's Videos tab, and you'd see all their videos from all three sources. In one grid with the thumbnails and video titles and membername.
On your own page, you'd click on the same Video tab and you'd see that same grid with ALL your videos...and also an "+Add Video" button which would bring you to a page or form with thechoices presented as to upload/vimeo/youtube.
On the main site index page, the top nav link for Videos would take you to a similar grid showing all 3 types of member videos sorted by latest added...with the thumbnails, video title, and member name. The grid would show all the types/sources together....as simply videos. The only place it MATTERS to separate whether it's vimeo or youtube etc is if you are in the process of adding a video to the site, right? -since the site enables viewing of any of them merely by clicking on them.

Lastly, the index page main page video content block module would also show a selection of the most recently added videos of all 3 types, with thumbnail, title and membername ....they'd not be distinguished from each other...again because why do they need to be unless you are adding/uploading a new video?

In my mind, making the members jump back and forth all the time (every single time they visit) between 3 different tabs and site areas simply to see videos...is like having a store selling milk next door to the egg store, next door to the butter store.

When i first installed JR and uploaded my ning archive, I went to my profile page and clicked on "Video" tab...and only one video was there. Scratching my head for a minute...where did all my other videos disappear to? Did they get left behind? Then I figured out the rest of them were under the Youtube Tab. Now I know that whenever I go to anyone else's profile page to get a sense of what they do, I'll have to click all three of those tabs, one at a time, to find where their videos are 'stashed'.
It's a slight annoyance, but I'm envisioning all 4500 of my members all doing exactly the same thing, day after day, for all eternity. click click click clickclickclickclickclick.... =8-*

A select menu after the title field, choose video, youtube or vimeo. Onchange the fields below are switched to video, youtube or vimeo fields.

The list view is a jrSeamless of the three types.

User knows the videos/youtubes/vimeos are hosted in different places, but there is only one video create button and one video list.

I don't think it is important to be able to list videos hosted on different services separately (they are the same, just with different urls), but can see that some users would want to sell videos etc. So adding youtubes and vimeos to the videos list should be on a quota basis.

Nice analogy.

I see it as 'milk is milk' so should be stored in the 'milk' box (and same for the other two). Storing them all in the 'edible stuff' box is of course an option.

(attached is a super quick module that adds a profile tab ALL VIDEOS and uses seamless to get them all.)

You're on Jamroom Hosting, so all modules and skins are free, you don't need to purchase anything, just activate it.

* download the .zip file.
* unzip it.
* upload it to /modules/(put it here) Its called: xxCombinedVideos so it will end up at:
/modules/xxCombinedVideos

It will appear in the ACP. Turn it on. Yes you will need to have jrSeamless for it to work. Its not really a finished module, more an extra page on the profile tab to be made into a module.

It looks like this (screenshot)

Yes Micheal thats the first step and what Steve said about the UI is what I was thinking.

Video Title

Video Type
- Upload a Video
- Insert a video from YouTube
- Insert a video from Vimeo

On selecting one of the above the fields underneath would change.

I would also go a further step here, in addition to adding the quota checks Steve mentioned but also hide the seperate Video, Youtube and Vimeo tabs on profiles that have the combined list.

Strumelia

Yep let me try applying Michaels Profile page all-in-one video TAB for members.
If it works nicely, the next steps would then be:

--> enable members to ADD a video by clicking on a simple ADD VIDEO link or button that brings them to ONE place or form or page where they can select the type of video they want to add to the site's video pool, and then add it. This would be accessible from either their own profile page or the main page Video top-nav link or the video moduleblock, or within the main video area display grid (where you'd be taken if you click on "view all" videos.)

--> once that was in place, I could eliminate or hide the redundant other three "video" TABS on the profile pages, replacing them with Michael's all-in-one video tab on the member profile pages.

--> Lastly, on the site's main index page:
1) the top nav link for VIDEO I would want to have NO drop down for vimeo/YT. I want the top nav Video Link to go to a GRID (looking something like the images grid) with maybe 4 or 6 across colums of thmbnails (of all three types of videos) and as many rows as i set. These vids I will set to display by most recently added (just like Images/Photos). Each video should include underneath it at least the video title and the member name who posted it. (as it is now, I see nowhere the names of the members who posted the videos..??) It doesn't matter whether it's a vimeo or uploaded or YT vid (that only matters when they are adding a video)...on my site anyway, people want to see all the vids in the community and be able to browse, search, and click on them in one place.
and 2) the content module on the main page showing latest videos currently only shows latest UPLOADED vids. I want it to show latest vids of all 3 types, just as I describe above...except the module will be a shorter selection, with a "view ALL" option button. Again, the video title and member's name needs to be under each one, and clicking ALL will take you to that same big grid showing all the site's videos in a grid in one place, paginated of course.

I think Soaring Eagle accomplished all of this early on on his site, and way more besides (i don't need the way more part though). unfortunately I don't have his coding experience and can't make this consolidation happen for myself.
I guarantee there will be many more coming from Ning who are going to be asking for the same thing.

Hey I'm willing to pay you JR Team guys to get all this done for me...just let me know what's needed. This whole Video/Audio 5 location 'separateness' remains as probably the biggest single stumbling block in the way of my getting my site ready to go live. I need ONE location for aduio clips, and ONE for videos...whether they are put on my site via uploaded or through other medium. My senior members get lost on the way to their kitchen for a sandwich. I need to make sure there aren't five kitchens.

Its called 'Combined Videos' the server directory structure should look like:

/modules/xxCombinedVideos/include.php
.....

You can turn it on at
ACP -> MEDIA -> COMBINED VIDEOS -> INFO

If its not there, run the integrity check or clear the caches.

Its not going to do what you've outlined above. We're talking about that internally now and will get back to you.

Ok, I loaded and installed the "Combined Videos" tab module you gave Michael.

I appreciate your effort, but it's not doing what I was hoping for, and I'm not sure you understand the stuff I've outlined and am needing to make happen. I may be able to use it elsewhere, but...
Your Combined Videos is presenting all combined videos of ALL members on the site. If I am on my profile page, it needs to present only MY combined uploaded, vimeo, and youtube videos, not everyone's. If I go to Joe Schmoe's profile page and click on his AllVideos TAB, it needs to show only the combined 3types of videos of Joe. It's Joe's profile page, to give us a picture of what Joe is all about.

Now what? Can I maybe pay JRTeam for some focused coding help. I feel like there are a few important issues that I am at a standstill with and I cannot solve myself.

I hope this is something that will have a happy solution, because I think many ning migrants are going to be needing and asking for it- it's one of the biggies that stick out for ex-ningers. Plus, I'm going to have to resolve this somehow before I can go live with my members and leave ning.
The new "combined videos" tab module is all very nice, but does not actually address or solve the issue described above, so I'm removing it.
Thanks, I appreciate all efforts!

Also- the new "Combined Videos" modules is described thusly:
"Uses Seamless to output all videos for this profile on one list."

-which is not an accurate description, since it produces a tab on a member's profile page that lists ALL videos from ALL site members, not "all videos for this profile" as the description says.
Maybe if that module can be tweaked to truly do as it describes itself-- and have the tab show all videos (youtube, vimeo, and uploaded videos) FOR THAT MEMBER only. That's what is needed. With such a tab on profile pages, I would then remove the individual profile page tabs for Youtube, Vimeo, and (uploaded)"videos". And I'd leave only the "All videos" tab.
That would solve the immediate problem.
Ideally, I'd like to have a block-module on profile pages that shows ALL that member's videos. Just like the content block that is present now (which shows only uploaded videos by that member)....but have the block show all three types of videos (YT, Vimeo, and uploaded) for THAT MEMBER only. I'd rather have the blockmodule instead of the tab format, frankly. Then, clicking on an "view all" link on the block would bring you to a page showing that particular member's videos of ALL 3 TYPES.

Strumelia:...the new "Combined Videos" modules is described thusly....

Its not really a new module, more just a starting point for someone who wanted to build a module. That's why its xxCombinedVideos rather than jrCombinedVideos. Just a place to start.

Probably the {jrCore_list .... needs profile_id added to its search call to limit to the current profile. If you turn off the other videos from showing, the member wont be able to upload stuff. It is possible to disable module items from showing by using the exclude_modules="" in the {jrProfile_menu.... call in the skins header templates.

"{jrProfile_menu}"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/development/1997/jrprofile-menu

Haven't come up with a good path for the route to go for one location for uploading as it would break all the rules that modules currently follow. Best idea so far is a "wizzard" type setup to click "add new item" then it directs you to the correct item create page for video, vimeo, youtube.

Michael, I'm afraid I don't have the know-how to really comprehend everything in your post, just some of it. I do get what you are saying about the "combined videos" module being just a start.
However, I was under the impression that Soaring Eagle managed to successfully do all of this combining of the video types, and also of the audio clip types...into two areas on his site, more or less as I describe above. I have no idea exactly what he did, but it 'seemed' like something similar to what many of us ning migrants would want.
Is it possible for you to check out what he did? Maybe he came up with some neat workaround, who knows. Thanks

If you can show me the page your talking about, I can analyse what might be going on. If this was for a section on the main site, its much easier.

One of the core premises is "Users upload to profiles, profiles feed content to site pages." So creating a new site level page would be the expected thing to do using seamless as the list creator. What your after is another section on the profile itself which is the domain of modules.......(more explanation about module separation of content goes stop here)

@michael

What he _might_ have done is to create a new site level page called 'videos' which has a seamless list on it, then added links to UPLOAD VIDEO | ADD YOUTUBE | ADD VIMEO to the top of that for logged in users that links to their upload page for each module.

just a guess though. @soaringeagle you around?

Just to be clear- let me describe what I THINK we are after-then everyone here please let me know if this this the same as you want

I would like a grid layout of videos that contain ALL videos ( a combination of JR videos- youtube videos and vimeo videos) all formatted with the same size thumbnails

so that users can explore all site videos from a single page ( same as we had at Ning so no need for a youtube tab and a vimeo tab)

Then on the video/create form page we would like to be able to upload our JR videos from here BUT also have a place in this form to paste Youtube and Vimeo videos ( similar to Ning)

Just curious if we are all on the same page?

To me- if we had this coded- we could replace the profile video template code with this code so ALL videos showed on the profile page
OR
We could use this code to make a site wide video page similar to this page
http://theamericandriller.com/videos
and link to it in the main site navigation as a main page

( even with this set up the videos would be actually played on the person who uploaded its, profile page- but Im ok with this) or maybe the videos could open in a modal window on this main video page?

I am wondering if this is what others are after here as an end result?

My idea would be we would have a choice to use the ALL VIDEOs code in place of the profile_video.tpl code and then remove the profile tabs for 'Youtube" and "Vimeo" so you had the grid layout of all videos on the profile page...add a button ( in the template code)that links to video/create page where you now have the option to either upload a jr video OR paste a youtube/vimeo url in...this way everything is consolidated

Yes, yes, and yes. Exactly what I've been trying express.
It's really pretty much like what we have in ning 2.0.
Thank you for explaining it well, Curtis. I've been meaning to get back to this discussion and lay out what we'd like but have been so busy and kind of dreading/avoiding it.

To add to this or further clarify-
I would prefer that the ONLY place where the vids should be split into the 3 types would be when a member goes to ADD a video. And personally I'd like the FIRST choices to be YT and Vimeo, with the actual site upload being 3rd in line in importance, since I want to encourage people to choose simply embedding (YT/Vimeo) over actually uploading it... for me to have to store on my server forever. As a music site, my thousands of members add a LOT of videos, and I really prefer that they use YT or Vimeo. Uploaded videos add up quickly in terms of storage. But I don't want to remove that option altogether.

YES- site's main page: ONE link for Videos at top, and also ONE video module/contentblock ...both showing 'X' number of latest videos of all 3 types together, no glaring visible difference in the thumbnails. YES to the combined grid page with thumbnails, video title, -AND the member name! (we currently do not even have the member name showing of the person whose video it is) That overall grid page would be, I guess, at site.com/video. Then have the module on the index page be like the current one, but showing all 3 types not just the 'uploaded' vids.

Then the member profile pages: YES, Curtis- want to REMOVE the video tabs altogether and have ONE video module with a crolling list or grid showing all 3 types of videos from that member only...in order by latest, with thumbnail, title, and member name. Having the member's vid thumbnails SHOWING on the profile pages instead of seeing only dull tabs...much more exciting and colorful and tempting to click on!

It's all about getting members excited and motivated. I know it seems like a lot to ask for, but member videos are critical for active interactive sites.

It's probably the biggest thing remaining in the way of my migration...and always has been the biggest issue for me.

Thanks

Just to chime in that we do have an active ticket open on this, but really want to make sure it is done right. It's not as simple as using "Seamless", but we will come up with a good solution for this issue. It's going to be a lot of work, so I would expect this to be a Jamroom 5.3 (or 6.0?) feature.

It would be a major coup for making ex-ningers REAL happy- especially since ning 3.0 doesn't have a video feature yet after two years of sitting on their asses, and that's been pissing a whole LOT of folks off. To be honest, this video issue has been the main road block on my going live. I've been putzing around working on other details meanwhile, but this is the biggie.

To make this easier would it not be good to still keep the lists seperate but still in one page. So in the main nav menu and profile menu you will still only have one video option rather than YouTube Vimeo & Videos. So when you click on videos a page will open but then you will have three buttons to show the videos, bit like a tabbed container. This will then keep the options for downloading, selling videos etc in the uploaded videos list. I would also change the 'videos' tab in that to say uploaded videos.

I think the way I am describing this is a bit like in the Nova theme where it has a tabbed page to show various options, I added an image to help see what I mean. So each one of those tabs would be Uploaded Videos, YouTube, Vimeo.

For adding videos just a simple option box to pop up for the type of video you want to upload/add and when selected will open the upload form for that option.

Just my two pennies worth to see if this helps any.

I think the problem is we make it sound too difficult to JR support-I have been talking to someone who i think can do it with some simple coding ( for him)
It would simply be adding a link on the video/create form to the youtube/vimeo form ( upload your jr video on the video create form-OR select the link on that form that goes to embed youtube in a new window) I noticed last night thats the way it works on Ning- then , just like ning- have all the video thumbnails combine in the same grid.. then we can use this code to do whatever we want with it...we can keep all the videos displaying on profile pages by leaving the current code intact OR we cou;d use the grid code to create a new page called VIDEOS and link to it in the main nav bar- that page would display all teh videos- add a button at the top of that page using your own html and link it to the video/create form...and then you are there OR we could use that code as the template code for profile_videos..your choice......seems like to me...
On the new VIDEO page we create we can add a serach for and pagination at the bottom- which would allow us to SEARCH ALL VIDEOS or to use pagination to keep viewing all

The analogies to milk and stuff here always make me smile so i will try to spin one for this situation

Me and the JR team are stranded on a deserted island and all we have between us is 2 paper clips and 2 pieces of tin foil

The JR team takes a paperclip and a tin foil and forms a think tank- in the end from these materials they fashion an elaborate ship capable of running on solar power and has broadband internet...

With my paper clip and tin foil I fashion a transmitter and call someone to get me the heck outta here

Yours is much better of course....but I think either will get us where we need to be

My idea would look like this
http://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/jamssite/Idea.jpg

No module or anything needed.. just a "How To Combine Videos" tweak by Michael in the help section that also provides the code for the grid layout :0

All UPLOAD video forms available with a single click- no looking around the site for them
all videos n a combined grid so users dont have to look around the site for different video places..

Viewers dont care if the video they are looking at is a youtube-Vimeo or JR video- they are just interested in the content of the video

The same for uploading...if you want to add a video from ANY source- you should be able to add it from either the same form or in a new window that opens from the same form

New users dont want to spend time looking for the proper place to upload a video- they just want a single button/..

All this is just my opinion of course :0

and finally- here is a screenshot of how ning combines Ning videos- youtube videos and vimeo/hulu videos in a grid together
http://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/jamssite/Capture5.JPG

Which would be our final output and displayed using the "Custom" code JR would provide in the "help" section..

The thing is-it seems if you did this as a jrCore update- it would effect/break all the work others have done on their sites before us and thats not what i am after- I jut want this tweak for my site

1) Soaring I don't know who you are directing your post to, or what effect your code would have or where it goes etc...

2) I don't want separate TABS for each 'type' of video. Or separate drop down video links in my top nav bar under Videos.

3) I strongly agree with how Curtis is saying all this:

"Viewers dont care if the video they are looking at is a youtube-Vimeo or JR video- they are just interested in the content of the video
The same for uploading...if you want to add a video from ANY source- you should be able to add it from either the same form or in a new window that opens from the same form

yes ideally they would want a sewamlerss add video too but that wiould need to be a whole new module
my code

create a page called videos or newest videos
add the 1st piece of code in there in a single row 12 wide widgget
the 2nd code goes in a template by thsat name u upload to the skin directory

that gives u a seemless list iof all video types
thgats for the "newest vids"
i have a highest rated and a featured as well
only diferences
order-by=*_overall_higfhest_rated and search1="*_featured
the * makes it include all vidseo vimeo and youtrube
in othgerwords * takes place of the module name fieild in the jmodule sullpieed (ratings) or user created (featured) fields

srry typings worse then ever tore rotator cuff and severetendonitios is making typing agonizing

but ok step 1 create menu item videos
step 2 click lkink change layout to single 12 row
step 3 drag in widget add 1st code
step 4 create the my_newest_vids.tpl paste in that code save uploadd to skin
step 5 clear cache and watch vids

there is some slight variations in how each module displays them
to compensate you can create a hnew template called seemlessvids or whatever add the template to the seempless call in my_newest_vids and customize how u want it to diusplay

nbote u will have to ct apart the 3 existing templates combine them changing the variaboles that replacew the module url space (typicaly assign module url murl but use vurl vmurl yurlrespectfully

Think I have solved the "FORM issue"...just need to get the layout to work correctly now

I actually figured out a work around for me using this

{jrSeamless_list modules="jrVideo,jrVimeo,jrYouTube"  limit="26" pager="true" order_by="_created numerical_desc"}

But then I am left with a layout like this( the top video is a youtube video and the one below it is a JR hosted video notice the size/display difference)
https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/jamssite/Capturepage.JPG

I know the issue is in the difference in the youtube template and the JR video template...they need to be the same settings so all thumbnails are the same...I have been comparing the codes of the 2 and trying to make youtube match that of the jrvideos ( maybe Im doing it in the wrong place?)

JR VIDEO TEMPLATE CODE
                    	<div class="block_image">
                            <a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$item.profile_url}/{$murl}/{$item._item_id}/{$item.video_title|jrCore_url_string}">{jrCore_module_function function="jrImage_display" module="jrVideo" type="video_image" item_id=$item._item_id size="medium" crop="auto" class="iloutline img_scale" alt=$item.video_title width=false height=false}</a>

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
YOUTUBE VIDEO TEMPLATE CODE                          

                    <div class="block_image">
                        <a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$item.profile_url}/{$murl}/{$item._item_id}/{$item.youtube_title_url}"><img src="{$item.youtube_artwork_url}" alt="{$item.youtube_title|jrCore_entity_string}" class="iloutline img_scale"></a>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                    
COMBINED INTO SOMETHING LIKE THIS WHICH DIDNT WORK AT ALL

<a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$item.profile_url}/{$murl}/{$item._item_id}/{$item.youtube_title_url}"> <img src="{$item.youtube_artwork_url type="video_image" item_id=$item._item_id size="medium" crop="auto" class="iloutline img_scale" alt=$item.video_title width=false height=false}" alt="{$item.youtube_title|jrCore_entity_string}" class="iloutline img_scale"></a>

WHICH OF COURSE DID NOT WORK AT ALL

Of course the same would need to be repeated for Vimeo

You want to break your Vimeo module as well?

As a general rule, you can only have one class and one alt. Html doesn't allow for you writing them twice. You would use smarty to change the attributes depending on the module (jrYouTube/jrVideo/jrVimeo).

Take a look at the seamless module, it already does what you want it to do with combining video lsits.

Thanks Ultrajam- I have used seamless to combine the lists-
The part I cant get seamless to do is to format the image thumbnails so they are the same

this from JR video

item_id=$item._item_id size="medium" crop="auto" class="iloutline img_scale" alt=$item.video_title width=false height=false}

vs this from the YouTube module

{$item._item_id}/{$item.youtube_title_url}"><img src="{$item.youtube_artwork_url}" alt="{$item.youtube_title|jrCore_entity_string}" class="iloutline img_scale">

If I use seamless to combine these in a Col-3 layout 4 wide- the youtube thumbnails break out of the col-3 layout
My guess is that when using seamless to combine them it uses the settings from each template on how to display the combined images ( which this maybe totally incorrect)

It seems like in a "perfect world" all the output video thumbnails would be sized the same way like

size="medium" crop="auto" class="iloutline img_scale" alt=$item.video_title width=false height=false

I guess i do not understand the reasoning for the default settings to size all 3 differently and most importantly I dont know how to fix it...
Plans on getting some help from India tonight

Then all you need to do is edit the template to use different html for each module.

Put {debug} into your template to see what variables are available. From memory it's something like $item.seamless_module, so if I've remembered that right you'd need something like this:

{if $item.seamless_module == "jrVideo"}
    display it like you want a video to be
{else}
    display it like you want a youtube to be
{/if}

if module = jrvimeo assign module url $vmurm

foreach item=$item
if item.module = jrvideo
place jrvideo output formatting here using $vurl in the link for module url
elseif item module is youtube
youtube formatting
elseif modules vimeo
vimeo formatting
/if

i could give u thebasics i used for a diferent modules
but thats the basics
not the code but the logic

real tired and sore (in enough pain to actualy take pain meds wich ive had surgery withoit anysthesia so u know its bad)
so i cant really put it all together fotr u
but u can take the 3 existing modules
use what i gave u here to peice them together editing them to the exact layout u want
and really customize it any way you want

This is the error from the seamless module when clicking on any video on the seamless list.

 CRI: Unable to copy modules/jrSeamless/templates/item_index.tpl to template cache directory: data/cache/jrCore

I tried this from my dev server and on his. It is consistent on both. Thanks.

You are linking to jrSeamless, those links need to point to each relevant module, and probably to the item detail rather than the index list.

Its going to be a cool code when this bug is fixed because EVERYONE can use it
Just add a menu page from the header- call it videos- then add a widget anywhere from 9 to 12 columns wide and paste this code in the widget
It will display ALL your videos properly in a single grid and you can adjust the thumbnail image size in the code

You would need to remove my header/footer code and my panel styling at the top- then add your own styling
But it should work for everyone
Copy/paste the code in a widget 12 wide and see?

Thanks to b360 here...to Paul and UJ and to the Dali lama and Michael...all of them have contributed to make it possible in this post and finally a headache to cross off my list

Now its time to THUNDER UP here-Lets go OKC and BEAT THE BULLS!

Thanks @ultrajam You were right. I changed the links to direct traffic to the modules and all is resolved.

Many Thanks.

Ill post the fixed up code so others can benefit from this.

Ack! I don't know how to make this happen.

I don't have Site Builder and I don't know how to add 'widgets'....or where to put this code. (!!!)

Also...does this fix the issue also on member profile pages, where they still have their member videos separated into 3 differnt tabs?

add it to your template code...if you want it on the members page- use it in place of the profile video code...remove the tabs fro youtube and video in the profile nav...and add buttons or images to this that link to each uploaderlike youtube/vimeo and site video

I'm sorry...but I have many many templates in my site...WHICH template?? Somewhere in my skin....where?
Talking about the main page first.

(and on profile pages- it would have to show ONLY that member's videos, not all the site members' videos.)

Guess I need to work on one application at a time- like my Index/main page let's say.
For my level, it's like you guys are talking in short hand and I can't grasp it all without step by step spelled out, in complete sentences so I can 'get it'. Going too fast for me and now I'm left behind.

well you have many options- to start make a page- call it TEST VIDEO and add this code as the template code...then you can adjust the code and play with it..
There is no ALL VIDEOS page...so you either need to make one OR use this code on your current

My Site.com/video

heheh...no- e are not talking in shorthand...theres really notjing to do- add this code to a page and adjust it...it combines all videos from all sources into a 4 column grid layout as tall as you want it to be...it does use the seamless module...as long as seamless works W/O site Buiilder-then it should work for you
The code would have to be altered further to make it just display specific users videos on like his profile page...

Do you mean you are adding it to a jrPages page using a TinyMCE editor field? Or are you adding it in the ACP template editing?

Site Builder is newer than Seamless, and will definitely work without it.

But you will probably need to adjust the code as well (once you have it in the right place).

I made a jrPages page. I didn't know where to add the code so I put it right in tyhe page content- obviously not correct. lol

Which ACP template am I supposed to add the code to? In one of my modules? In my custom active skin, in one of its templates?

Which/where template do I add the code to??

Here is what it looks like with a couple links added to upload youtube and vimeo from the same page
http://theamericandriller.com/videos

Strumelia

1) I want a top nav link that takes you to the "all videos" page with a 3 or 4 column grid in the code...a full page, with pagination after X number of rows. The thumbnails need to be rectangular, to fit Youtube & vimeo thumbnails, not squished to be square like in Curtis' sample. Then I can get rid of the "Videos" top bar link i have now that takes people to ONLY the site's uploaded videos.

2) On my main page, I currently have a nice little module/content block (see SCREENSHOT). I would love to keep that module there...but right now it only shows the latest UPLOADED video thumbnails from all the members. I want it to show the latest videos of members from all 3 sources (uploaded, vimeo, and YT). I like how that block looks and fits in on my index page- can I get it to show all three types of vids and have their thumbnails not look different? Then the "All" hotlink on that block would again take you to the All videos full page.

Videos are very very important on my site, as my thousands of musician members use vids to share their playing techniques, to teach, and learn how to play, do "Tune of the Week" collaborations, etc... Every single vid on my site shows a member actually playing music.

I have added the nav link in the header under MULTIMEDIA...VIDEOS IN THE DROP DOWN...it takes you to the page I created using the "Gear Icon" in the header that alsos you to create a page...which I did and called it "videos" ( then I removed any reference on my site to the jr default /video page- notice I call mine "video"s" to avoid conflict) then I add a 9/3 layout to the page using the panel tool...put this video code in the 9 column side and reserve the 3 column side for my sign in box...you wont need my sign in box so you can use a full 12 column layout- then adjust the video thumbnail sizes in the code to like 200px and 300px to get a more normal look...
After that ( using site builder) you can add ANY other widgets you want in the layout and use the embed tool to add "latest video" latest by youtube" latest by certain member...etc using the functions in the embed tool...how you would do this without the widgets and embed tool I do not know

Yes, I see that you used Site Builder for doing all that Curtis. Thanks, it helps me understand. I need to do this without Site builder though... maybe I can pay someone (Steve perhaps?) a little something to help me get it done the way I need it to on my site...?
I guess I need it to be a certain way that's a little more work to accomplish.

If you can find/pay someone to do this for you might be a good idea, it does sound like it's a little outside your current skill set. Maybe overly ambitious.

Unfortunately I can't help with that at the moment, too much on as it is.

Easier for me because I am using Site Builder in this instace BUT Site Builder does not function on EVERY page- for instance when I add it to the PROFILE page there is no site builder there to help- so i will add it to the template ( which I am thinking is what you have to do everywhere?)

I don't know if this will help you but I made it up myself a few years ago because I cant quickly read code and tell where stuff goes so I type a crap load of
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX in places all over the template- then publish- here is an example

<div class="item">
    <div class="container">
        {if isset($_items)}
        {foreach from=$_items item="item"}
            {if $item@first || ($item@iteration % 4) == 1}
        <div class="row">
        {/if}
            ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
            <div class="col-lg-3{if $item@last || ($item@iteration % 4) == 0} last{/if}">
                <div class="img-profile">
                    <a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$item.profile_url}">{jrCore_module_function function="jrImage_display" module="jrProfile" type="profile_image" item_id=$item._profile_id size="large" crop="portrait" class="iloutline img_scale" alt=$item.profile_name title=$item.profile_name}</a>
                </div>YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
                <div class="center mb10">
                    <a href="{$jamroom_url}/{$item.profile_url}" class="media_title">@{$item.profile_name}</a>
                </div>
            </div>
            XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
            {if $item@last || ($item@iteration % 4) == 0}
        </div>
        {/if}
            {/foreach}
        {/if}
    </div>
</div>

Then I go look at the page I published and look for the ZZZZ-YYYYYY-XXXXXX (easy to spot) and see which one is in the place where I want the code....then go back and remove all the ZZZYYYXXX and add my html code in the spot I found

Its also how I identify if i am even in the correct template or not..
I figure everyone has a system like this...but this is how I would find where to add it on your site

It's kinda REDNECK but thats how we roll

You may also have to change the way columns are handled in the code
for instance in my skin
columns are named like this

<div class="col-lg-3 BUT in JR skins you only need "col-3" and none of the sm, md lg stuff

Like Curtis, I can't really go live without addressing this video issue (DANG)...but I need the solution to be just a little different than how Curtis is applying it.
There's gotta be a way to fudge this well enough without a whole JR version change.

https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/networkmarket/240/combined-audio

and Combined Video:

https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/networkmarket/241/combined-video

that "combine" the audio and video modules into a single "audio" and "video" section. I think this will handle what everyone is looking for really nicely

These work fine, just ensure you install all updates before installing them, as the other modules and core had to have changes to make these possible.

No - this does not take the place of ANY media module - it is simply a seamless setup and wrapper for existing module.

If you see that on the VIDEO page it means that means you need to update and activate jrVideo, jrYouTube, and jrVimeo.

I'm excited, but confused about something-

I have everything updated, loaded, and active (including seamless). I checked/allowed the modules for all quotas.
When I am logged in as myself/admin, I see the combined audio and video tabs on all member pages, including my own. They function as expected.

But when I log in as a regular member, I can only see the tabs on my own profile, not on anyone else's. I get no video or audio tabs at all, despite seeing the member's status boxes indicating they have bunches of items. Members need to be able to look at other members' videos and hear their songs.
Do I have a setting not right maybe?

Some potential issues just after a few minutes testing are

soundcloud_display_order
vimeo_display_order

show in the respective combined lists when there are no entries on those pages

The Create Album button shows on the combined list pages regardless if the user has access to the Audio or Video modules that allow them to create albums. (Hope that makes sense) i.e just enable YouTube and Vimeo, set combined video and the Create Album button will be visible resulting in a permissions error when clicked on.

Yeah, your right. We'll get that fixed up.

It looks like the menu items are wrong. If you go to:

both logged out and in you should see the combined videos. Just that when your logged out, you dont see the single menu item.

Yes, a scroll would be nice! The having to click to a new page for every 6 items is needlessly tedious.
-What module/skin/template do I go to to change the NUMBER of audio and video items displayed ...from only 6 to more? I can do it, just no clue where exactly that setting resides.

These two modules help a LOT! Thank you guys, your hard work is so much appreciated.
This is a workable solution to the profile pages area.

Now I need to solve the similar issue for my Main/Index page, except there it's just a bit different. I'll start a new thread for that later today.
