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 {$JAMROOM_URL}. I just need to connect it to the specific entry/video id.
Here is an excerpt from the original battle_view.tpl in modules/jrBattle/templates
This is the excerpt from skins/Nova/cp/favorite_video.tpl that I thought might help me. Still learning and trying to make it with the little that I know. My experiments and combinations haven't worked so far and I am back to square one.
The critical bit in that is the {$_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.
