Hi.

I have a client who wants a "video wall" of all the videos from his channel. I need to display them in a grid, but don't need to add the title underneath. Clicking a thumbnail will make the video play in a lightbox.

He will have a number of his staff going around videoing people and they will all be uploading to his channel, so it needs to dynamically update the results that come through to the page on his site. * He does NOT want to have somebody manually update a playlist with each new video for example as they will be coming thick and fast from all over the country * There will probably end up being a lot of videos so the results need to be split over several pages.

So far so good I guess?

I also need to embed this gallery into a Joomla 1.6 article page. Is this possible? I am happy to purchase the Pro version - will you be able to help me acheive this?

Many thanks

Frank.

Oh - I forgot to add the important feature!

He wants a search box that will search the videos on his channel and return the results. Video's will have a sport in the title, so for example if someone searches for "tennis" it will return just videos with Tennis in the name.

When the page firsts loads it shows all videos, but the search will refine what is displayed.

Is this possible?

Yes. All of this is supported entirely with TubePress. You can control exactly what information shows up with each thumbnail, and you have full control over the style and HTML structure of your galleries with TubePress themes. Since you're pulling the videos from a channel, simply uploading new items to the channel will have them automatically display on your client's site.

I also need to embed this gallery into a Joomla 1.6 article page. Is this possible?


This will be the wildcard. A few users have tried to use TubePress with Joomla in the past, and it was not smooth sailing. I think it has something to do with the way Joomla handles PHP global variables. See this ticket for details: http://code.google.c...s/detail?id=268. If you're feeling up to it, I'd be totally happy to help you with the integration. Down the road I'd like to offer first-class support for Joomla support as a Pro-only feature.

Yes, this is supported. You can restrict search results to a single YouTube user if you'd like. And TubePress Pro users get Ajax-enabled searching. Here are the docs on how it works: http://tubepress.com...ag...ive-search

Hope this answers your questions for now. Let us know if you have any others. Thanks!
