In the tubepress widget, I'd like for users to click the thumbnail and be taken to the full tubepress video page, where the video thumb they just clicked becomes the main video that will be played.

Test case site is www.alchemyregion.com

I'm using a hack for this now, but it will be erased whenever I update tubepress. Any solution that is update-proof?

Thanks,
Kenny

The hack is:

In the tubepress plugin folder, go to sys/ui/static/players/vimeo

Make backups, then edit two files:
vimeo.js
vimeo-dev.js

In "vimeo.js"...

Replace
{window.location="http://www.vimeo.com/"+h}

With
{window.location="http://alchemyregion.com/video/?auto=true&ID="+h}


In "vimeo-dev.js"...

Replace
window.location = 'http://www.vimeo.com/' + videoId;

With
window.location = 'http://alchemyregion.com/video/?auto=true&ID=' + videoId;

Hi,

At the moment, no, there is no upgrade-proof solution for your modification (which by the way is clever). Feature requests are always welcome! Features with the most votes will be implemented first.

But in the meantime I would say that your fix is relatively easy to apply and at the moment it's the easiest solution to your need.

Ok, thanks Eric.

Update: in Tubepress Pro 3.0.0, the files to edit are in src/main/web/players/vimeo, but they are identical to the files used in 2.4.5 Pro

 

Full code:

Sidebar Widget

[tubepress thumbHeight='165' thumbWidth='112' resultsPerPage='4' playerLocation='vimeo' length="false" description="false" title="false"]

 

 

src/main/web/players/vimeo/vimeo-dev.js:

var TubePressVimeoPlayer = (function () {

	var events	= TubePressEvents,
		name	= 'vimeo',
		
		invoke = function (e, videoId, galleryId, width, height) {
			/*window.location = 'http://www.vimeo.com/' + videoId;*/
			window.location = 'http://yourdomain.com/path-to-video-gallery-page/?auto=true&ID=' + videoId;
		};

	jQuery(document).bind(events.PLAYER_INVOKE + name, invoke);
}());

 

 

src/main/web/players/vimeo/vimeo.js:

 

var TubePressVimeoPlayer=(function(){var c=TubePressEvents,b="vimeo",a=function(i,h,g,f,d){window.location="http://yourdomain.com/path-to-video-gallery-page/?auto=true&ID="+h};jQuery(document).bind(c.PLAYER_INVOKE+b,a)}());

Thanks for updating your post!

 

Once we tackle Issue 321, TubePress will have first-class support for this kind of functionality. It's becoming more and more of a priority, so you shouldn't have to wait too long.

Just a quick note to say "thanks" - this is a great "hack," it works perfectly, and I'd like to raise my hand to vote for this as part of the next update. New here, so if I've missed the right page to vote for this, so sorry, but I wanted to acknowledge Kenny McNett's quick fix and say thanks. Love Love Love this plugin!
