Question Regarding Seamless Module Function
Using Jamroom
michael:
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...
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-*
