Add videos to VirtueMart products - with the help of AllVideos Plugin!

[fotisevangelou]

AllVideos has made it very easy for people since June 2006 ( ) to add videos in their Joomla! content. So a natural progression to this would be to add videos in e-shops/product pages as well. We all know that VirtueMart is the best e-shop implementation out there.

So how do we enable video playback in VirtueMart, in an easy manner, similar to the AllVideos Plugin? Well... we just enable the use of AllVideos inside VirtueMart! 

Here's the solution to enable the plugin for the "product details" page:

Open up the file administrator/components/com_virtuemart/html/shop.product_details.php and in the end of it, look for:

Code: Select all

/* Finish and Print out the Page */
echo $template;

and add ABOVE this some code. Overall the change is this:

Code: Select all

// start - enable "content type" plugin parsing
   global $_MAMBOTS;
   $_MAMBOTS->loadBotGroup( 'content' );
   $row->text = $template;
   $results = $_MAMBOTS->trigger( 'onPrepareContent', array( &$row, &$params, $page ), true );
   $template = $row->text;
// end - enable "content type" plugin parsing

/* Finish and Print out the Page */
echo $template;

This will load the "content type" plugins in VirtueMart. That means that you can use the AllVideos Plugin to add videos in your products (as showcase) and even use the "Tabs & Slides in Content Items" Plugin to display your product's details in Tabs and/or Slides!!

Cool, huh??

Download both from http://www.joomlaworks.gr and have fun!

Perhaps others now should try something similar with "famous" components and post our findings here!

Thanks for turning me on to this post!

works like a dream for mosets mtree.

i pasted the code at the very bottom of public_html/components/templates/bluetree/sub_listingDetails.tpl.php

Hi Jonathan, could I ask you to post your exact modification here (file and code line), to help other users as well?

[greenhil]

yes, in fact i had to adjust from what my last post to keep it from showing code in the frontend.

so i found the best place to put is as follows below. i have not tried HP yet but plan to shortly.

Code: Select all

<?php


/*
# Printing Custom Field #1's caption
echo "<br />".$this->custom_fields["cust_1"]->caption;

# Printing Custom Field #1's value
echo "<br />".$this->link->cust_1;
*/



?>
<?php
/*
# global $_MAMBOTS;
	$_MAMBOTS->loadBotGroup( 'content' );
	$row->text = $template;
	$results = $_MAMBOTS->trigger( 'onPrepareContent', array( &$row, &$params, $page ), true );
	$template = $row->text;
*/
?>

<table width="100%" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">
	<tr>
		<td class="componentheading"><?php echo $this->_MT_LANG->TITLE ?></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td class="contentheading"><?php $this->plugin( 'listingname', $this->link) ?></td>
	</tr>
</table>

<table width="96%" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">

	<?php if ( !empty($this->mambotAfterDisplayTitle) ): 
			echo trim( implode( "\n", $this->mambotAfterDisplayTitle ) );
		endif;

	?>

	<tr>
		<td>
			<br />
			<?php 
				if ( !empty($this->mambotBeforeDisplayContent) && $this->mambotBeforeDisplayContent[0] <> '' ): 
					echo trim( implode( "\n", $this->mambotBeforeDisplayContent ) );
				endif;
			?>

			<?php if ($this->link->link_image): 
					$this->plugin( 'image', $this->listing_image_dir.$this->link->link_image, '', '', '', 'class="listingPhoto"' );
			endif; ?>

			<span class="detailsText"><?php echo $this->link->text ?></span>

			<?php 
				if ( !empty($this->mambotAfterDisplayContent) ): 
					echo trim( implode( "\n", $this->mambotAfterDisplayContent ) );
				endif;
			?>

		</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td align="center">
		<div style="overflow:auto">
		<?php $this->plugin( 'ahrefreview', $this->link, 'class="bulletData"') ?>
		<?php $this->plugin( 'ahrefrating', $this->link, 'class="bulletData"') ?>
		<?php $this->plugin( 'ahrefrecommend', $this->link, 'class="bulletData"') ?>
		<?php $this->plugin( 'ahrefprint', $this->link, 'class="bulletData"') ?>
		<?php $this->plugin( 'ahrefcontact', $this->link, 'class="bulletData"') ?>
		<?php $this->plugin( 'ahrefreport', $this->link, 'class="bulletData"') ?>
		<?php $this->plugin( 'ahrefclaim', $this->link, 'class="bulletData"') ?>
		<?php $this->plugin( 'ahrefownerlisting', $this->link, 'class="bulletData"') ?>
		<?php $this->plugin( 'ahrefmap', $this->link, 'class="bulletData"') ?>
		</div>
		</td>
	</tr>
</table>

<br />

Thanks man! 

[badger911]

Nice job!

[fotisevangelou]

I hope more mods to famous components come soon!!

[wallbay1]

Hi Guys great work
is their a way to do the same for SOBI business directory?
on the category, the listing, and the directory description


same for marketplace, adsmanager and Docman

Thanks

[inglia]

Docman is famous

In
components\com_docman\themes\default\templates\page_docdetails.tpl.php

Replace

Code: Select all

<?php echo $this->html->docdetails ?>

with

Code: Select all

<?php
// start - enable "content type" plugin parsing
$docdetails = $this->html->docdetails;
   global $_MAMBOTS;
   $_MAMBOTS->loadBotGroup( 'content' );
   $row->text = $docdetails;
   $results = $_MAMBOTS->trigger( 'onPrepareContent', array( &$row, &$params, $page ), true );
   $docdetails = $row->text;
// end - enable "content type" plugin parsing
?>
<?php echo $docdetails; ?>

This is an example for default docMan theme.
I'm sure there's a better way to do this, but it works 


Added:
The above only shows mambots in document details.
To show mambot in the file list
in
components\com_docman\themes\default\templates\documents\list_item.tpl.php

Replace

Code: Select all

<?php echo $this->doc->data->dmdescription;?>

with

Code: Select all

<?php
// start - enable "content type" plugin parsing
$docdetails = $this->doc->data->dmdescription;
   global $_MAMBOTS;
   $_MAMBOTS->loadBotGroup( 'content' );
   $row->text = $docdetails;
   $results = $_MAMBOTS->trigger( 'onPrepareContent', array( &$row, &$params, $page ), true );
   $docdetails = $row->text;
// end - enable "content type" plugin parsing
?>

<?php echo $docdetails;?>

Niiiiice!! 

[wallbay1]

Jesus, Marie , Joseph I AM SPEECHLESS
YOU GUYS ARE GENIUS GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[active8]

Nice One, But I seem to be having issues with this. After editing the file to put the extra code in, I get the following error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/globfir/public_html/catalog/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/html/shop.product_details.php on line 393

Any help would be appreciated

thanks

[active8]

ok i seem to have got rid of the error

i presume i put this in the product description field:

{wmv}dck30.wmv{/wmv}

I have done that but am just getting a white box and no video

http://www.globalfireworks.co.uk/catalo ... &Itemid=26

Thanks

[fotisevangelou]

No, just this:

{wmv}dck30{/wmv}

We don't use the file extensions cause we have already defined the file type (with the tags, dahhhh)... 

[chas]

You are collecting all this "hacks" into a nice knowledgebase??  :-*

[fotisevangelou]

Exactly! Something that should be done already by each component developer, but just don't bother doing so!

[active8]

thanks for the reply..

another thing im wondering....

is it possible to get the videos to appear only when a user is logged in??

As im using VirtueMart, Guests need to be able to see the product description but not the video - only can they see the video once they have registered and logged in:

http://www.globalfireworks.co.uk/catalo ... &Itemid=26

let me know if this is possible

many thanks

active8

[fotisevangelou]

Check out this plugin, RokMember: http://www.rockettheme.com/Joomla-Extensions/

Inside the RokMember tags you'll put the AllVideos tags. 

[active8]

nice one thanks

[active8]

is there any documentation on this??

thx

Has anyone had any luck getting the AllVideos working with Mossets Hot Property.  I have dried many things, and am having no luck.

Also, I had AllVideos working with a site using Virtue Mart.  Everytime I tried to place the AllVideos on any page in any location, in IE7 (only) the site would abort and go to an error page.  When turning off AllVideo, this abort (IE7 only) would stop, and not occurr.

Are there any compatibility issues with AllVideo - VirtueMart when using IE7??

[fotisevangelou]

The abort error is caused by javascript issues with IE. To solve this you can delete this portion of code in the file plugin_jw_allvideos.php (at the end):

Code: Select all

// This is the excellent "EOLAS - no click to activate" fix/patch
// from Gero Zahn, for IE and Opera browsers, which is already

In 2.5 we'll have an option to disable this.

Has anyone had any luck getting the AllVideos working with Mossets Hot Property.  I have dried many things, and am having no luck.

Contact http://www.webpr.gr for this.

[obeoneweb]

much thanks, that worked great.

Any idea how to get AllVideo to work with HotProperty??

This is truely a super plug-in.  I have used it quite a bit.

How to enable AllVideos (and any other "content type" plugin) inside the Mamblog Component

Open up the file mamblog.html.php and at about line 180, edit to something like this:

Code: Select all

function show( $blog, $mask=0, $gid, $option ) {
	global $cfg_mamblog, $Itemid, $my, $mosConfig_live_site;

	// start - enable "content type" plugin parsing
	      global $_MAMBOTS;
	      $_MAMBOTS->loadBotGroup( 'content' );
	      $results = $_MAMBOTS->trigger( 'onPrepareContent', array(&$blog, &$params, $page), true );
	// end - enable "content type" plugin parsing

	$create_date = null;

This should enable now AllVideos to work inside your Joomla! blog! Enjoy! 

[dgourley]

Does anyone know how to enable this in Remository as well????

This would help my giant headache I've had for 1 year!!!!

Thanks in Advance,

[cruxe]

I'm trying to figure out how to implement this in SOBI 2: http://www.sigsiu.net/index.php?option= ... Itemid=148, but at this time I only managed to get a tremendous headache.

Any ideas? Any help?

[escv]

I have installed this plug-in on one of my websites and it is not working. I have added the plug-in and configured it properly.  When I add the yuotube tags and the [youtube] id I only get the code in my rendered content page, no video.  I've searched everywhere and the issues on the forum don't appear to have any resolve to my issue.  the version we are using for this iste is 1.0.10 so a little behind but we are locked down at the moment and can not upgrade until April.

I did install this plug-in on another website and it workled perfectly. That site is running 1.0.12

So it might be an issue with v 1.0.10, but ANY assistance in fixing it without having to upgrade would be great. Here is the link to the file that is not working.  http://www.hometownstation.com/test-2.html

** Note: we are using the SEF SEO Component on the site from ARTIO - so maybe that is it?  I'll try to add some of the mentioned hacks around compoenent support and see if that resolves the issue while I wait for a response.
