Hi! I was wondering the same thing. I want to modify the sidebar so the videos and the text can be seen at the center of the sidebar. Also, is it possible to show the play icon -or something like that- in the sidebar thumbnails?

Hi,

Are you looking to simply center the text underneath the thumbnail? Reason I'm asking is that the current thumbnail width that you have (300px) is roughly the size of your sidebar container. Please let me know and we can figure out the CSS that you'll need.

As for the play icon, are you trying to simply add an icon next to the videos? Or are you looking for an overlay?

Hi,

the align-center it's not a problem anymore.

As for the play icon, I'm looking for an overlay, but i'm not really an expert, so you'll have to teach me... (sorry)

I would go with something along the lines of the highest-voted answer here:

Make a PNG graphic, semitransparent, with a symbol that seems to indicate "play". Make it the size you want, maybe a 320x240 graphic or what not. Let's say you named it "overlay.png"

Let's say the YouTube generated thumbnail is at http://img.ytimg.com/abcdefg/0.jpg

Now all you need in your code is this:



As long as your target audience is not still using IE6, you should be safe.

To get your changes incorporated into your TubePress installation, simply create and activate a custom TubePress theme. You'll want to make your edits to your theme's gallery.tpl.php somewhere around this line.

Does that make sense? Let us know how this works for you. Thanks!

Hi,

It looks like you've made a few CSS edits already. I think the key for you to achieve centering of the video titles is to add the following CSS:

dd.tubepress_meta_title a {
    width: 100%;
}

This will result in centered titles. Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/Y2VWZ.png. Is that the look you're after? Let me know. Thanks!

BTW: Since I moved to PRO version I've got another problem, but I searche the forum first for resolution. ;)
