Adjust code for video

[munchman0912]

Hi all, sorry I am a novice at anything coding, but I have a custom module that is set up for displaying an image (code in screenshot) , but I would like to change for a video but am clueless. I am hoping I just adjust the image reference code here somehow and someone can explain.

The vid is hosted and does play if i insert path, but has no vid play controls and just loops endlessly

any help appreciated and apologies if this is a ridiculous request.

TIA, Ben

Thanks Webdongle, no ive got allvideo etc. Playing a video isnt an issue it's coding the output of this particular module for video because its default state is image and as such the vid isnt behaving itself in the front end.

The image code here in the css needs adjusting, im just a caveman when it comes to this. I think it may be simple for someone that knows what they are looking at

To embed videos use <video> tag https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc ... ment/video.

thanks SharkyKZ - this code im replacing isnt just a path (in fact, I cant see a path at all). Because it's a custom module this isnt just a vid tag/path I need to adjust. I somehow need to code the output of this part of the module as video instead of image. If it were into an article youd be spot on and Im up to that...just dont know how to deal with this pice of code from the module. It's possible it's not generic and template specific.

Just hoping someone spots something obvious or puts me out of my misery if it cant be done simply.

You still need to update the layout to use <video> tag. To my understanding, $helper->get('intro-img') returns path to video and you're trying to display it inside <img> tag.
