YouTube vid support

[ashelby]

Vuud, I downloaded the new package as you suggested and the only problem I had so far was YouTube Thumbnails not showing up and I got the CF - Error across the top, see attached.

I eventually narrowed it down to the cpmfetch_config.php file in this part of the file:

Code Select Expand

'cfSQLUserDataLink' => ' ',
'cfSQLUserTableName' => 'cpg_users',
[b]'filesystem_path_to_cpg' => '/',[/b]
'domain_name' => 'www.video-tutorials.com',
'cpg_album_url' => 'http://video-tutorials.com/vids/albums/',
'cpg_url' => 'http://video-tutorials.com/vids/'
I changed the "filesystem_path_to_cpg" to:

Code Select Expand

'cfSQLUserDataLink' => ' ',
'cfSQLUserTableName' => 'cpg_users',
'filesystem_path_to_cpg' => 'vids/',
'domain_name' => 'www.video-tutorials.com',
'cpg_album_url' => 'http://video-tutorials.com/vids/albums/',
'cpg_url' => 'http://video-tutorials.com/vids/'

When looking at the HTML source from the home page, I saw this:

You can see after the vids, there is a double //.  I am guessing this is due to the "filesystem_path_to_cpg" only containing a "/", this worked with the swf thumbnails, but not for the youtube thumbs.

I know youtube is not an official media type of CPG, but if anyone else is having same issue, this was how I fixed it.

I tried running the install a few more times and just couldn't get it right through the install, only manually changing it worked for me, so that is how I am leaving it so I can move on.  I may have been a complete moron, but I don't thinks so.   

Anyway, it works now, again.

Hmmm, how does youtube stuff work in CPG... I have no idea to be honest...  Does it link to u-tube or something?

With the youtube mod, the thumbnail of the video is downloaded from youtube and added to the gallery and gets treated as a custom thumbnail (of itself). When displayimage loads it detects that it is a youtube file (based on the filename) and generates the embedding code to link up to youtube instead of displaying the image. Does cpmfetch support custom thumbnails of videos?

I does as far as the ones I knew about when I coded that part...

Here is my select for non-image types - if it hits one of these, it should display it.  I based it on the old CPG when I did this part.

If youtube has something different I can always add it... I am in a dev cycle so I am just crazy with changes 

hah

That's handling the default thumbnails for non-image files. If someone uploads somevideoname.avi will it display thumb_somevideoname.avi as the thumbnail?

Nope that goes after the CPG thumbnails for those types...

If someone uploads somevideoname.avi, it goes through a whole series of checks for a special thumbnail... without killing myself on this codine infused cough syrup it goes a little something like

thumb_somevideoname.jpg
thumb_somevideoname.gif

...Then something I cant quite decipher (really sick right now)...

then if goes after the cpg defaults...

I meant thumb_somevideoname.jpg

I will look into it if I get time.

Hah, I am completely lost on this...  it does look for thumbs...
