I have YTSeamless installed and I am trying to modify battle_view.tpl get the video player to popup on click with the youtube id.

I have been trying to use featured_video.tpl as a starting point because it uses the youtube popup. Can somebody help point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Got a URL of what you want to happen and the page of where you want it to happen.

Its probably just a javascript link that needs to be coded.

I just want battle_view.tpl to pop up a separate full screen youtube.com/embed/YOUTUBE ID. I see player_video_youtube.tpl, player_video_vimeo.tpl, and player_video_full.tpl in skins, so I guess I could use that and have the popup coming off the {$JAMROOM_URL}. I just need to connect it to the specific entry/video id.

Here is an excerpt from the original battle_view.tpl in modules/jrBattle/templates

Code

{elseif $battle_type == 'video'}                     <a href="{$JAMROOM_URL}/{$_entry.band_url}/" target="_blank"><b>{$_entry.band_name}</b></a><br>                     <a href="{$JAMROOM_URL}/index.php?mode=player&amp;type=video&amp;video_id={$_entry.media_media_id}" onclick="popwin(this.href,'video_player','450','420','yes');return false"><img src="{$JAMROOM_URL}/skins/{$index_template}/images/hifi_stream.png" alt="{$_entry.media_name}" class="m_outline"></a>

This is the excerpt from skins/Nova/cp/favorite_video.tpl that I thought might help me. Still learning and trying to make it with the little that I know. My experiments and combinations haven't worked so far and I am back to square one.

Code

{assign var="onclick" value="popwin(this.href,'video_`$video_id`',450,420,'yes');return false"}   <a href="{$JAMROOM_URL}/index.php?t=player_video_youtube&video_id={$video}&video_youtube_id={$video_youtube_id}&band_id={$band_id}&width=450&height=420" onclick="{$onclick}">     <img src="{$jamroom_url}/skins/Nova/cp/images/html_play_media.png" class="cpimage" alt="Play" title="Play">   </a>  {$video_name} {elseif is_numeric($video_vimeo_id)}   {assign var="onclick" value="popwin(this.href,'video_`$video_id`',450,420,'yes');return false"}   <a href="{$JAMROOM_URL}/index.php?t=player_video_vimeo&video_id={$video}&video_vimeo_id={$video_vimeo_id}&band_id={$band_id}&width=450&height=420" onclick="{$onclick}">     <img src="{$jamroom_url}/skins/Nova/cp/images/html_play_media.png" class="cpimage" alt="Play" title="Play">   </a>  {$video_name}

In the original battle_view.tpl is the line -

<a href="{$JAMROOM_URL}/index.php?mode=player&amp;type=video&amp;video_id={$_entry.media_media_id}" onclick="popwin(this.href,'video_player','450','420','yes');return false"><img src="{$JAMROOM_URL}/skins/{$index_template}/images/hifi_stream.png" alt="{$_entry.media_name}" class="m_outline"></a>

The critical bit in that is the {$_entry.media_media_id} parameter. That seems to be part of the $_ROUNDS array that is generated by the module and passed into the template.
You actually need the video {$VIDEO_YOUTUBE_ID} parameter to test so as to call the appropriate Youtube or regular popup player.

I'm not familiar with the jrBattle module but what I'd do is put a {debug} in the code to see if {$VIDEO_YOUTUBE_ID} is available anywhere.

Thanks for the debug tip Paul! If changing in skins, {$VIDEO_YOUTUBE_ID} IS available and I now have them embedding in the current layout nicely using 240x180.

The template battle_view.tpl seems to have some different features like admin "remove winner" and it seems to be using {$_entry.video_youtube_id}. So I will need to try to integrate the Skin battle_view.tpl into the template battle_view.tpl if I want them to look similar. I think this may be the easiest solution.

My other idea was to just activate the admin tools on the skins/battle_view.tpl and have the templates View Battle button deep link directly to the correct battle and do away with the template view all-together.
