Flow Text Around Video was created by stress head

Hey JW people - another great extension, thank you.

I have the same query as the original poster to this thread. I'd like to be able to embed the video on the page so the text flows around it. It currently breaks up the page flow significantly to have it grabbing the full page width, although I can have two videos side by side if I set my page width wide enough.

It would also be great if each video could be re-sizable on the page rather than relying on a master one size fits all.

There's a lot of blank area above the video, can that be removed?

It's a great component, really effective & simple to use, but IMO could be significantly improved by a couple of minor tweaks by the JW heroes

Many thanks guys, enjoy the frappés

Paul

I myself am interested in seeing a reply from the developers on this question because I have the same concern on my site with the text flow. I have tried many different ways to do this but nothing seems to work. Is there anything the developers or site members might suggest to achieve this? ::)

Hey guys,

Just thought I'd add another post here to emphasize that this is something we would really like to know! I already tried tweaking the .php file where all the containing DIVs are created, but that didn't work either. For some reason, all the changes I made, didn't show up in the source after I saved and uploaded the file.

The problem seems to be DIV that surrounds the entire script and the video; it gets a "clear: both" style element... (<div style="clear:both;)

So I hope someone from the team can explain how to edit this.

The not politically correct method, ie ) using tables instead of CSS

You can simply put the video code inside a table cell and then left / right align the table on the content page. It works even if it uses a table.

Hi,

We would really reallylove to see this feature soon, having video plonked right in the middle of an article looks pretty rubbish, kinda defeats the purpose of this great all video plugin!

Could a genius out there point us to a plugin to do this?

Cheers guys,

Jason Dainter

I can see its been about 6 months since anyone replied to thi topic and I also would like to see someone integrate "allvideobot" videos into text. Not allowing text to snake around the video really breaks up my site and others and this would be a very neccesary tool to have.

I dont want to just sit and complain so I will add that the joomlaworks team is doing a fabulous job. I also purchased the fpss. THANKS YOU!

Probably too basic a response but this worked for me - just placing video within a DIV tag; align to right and style as float.

<div align="right" style="float: right">{flvremote}cp50843.p1.videos.viostream.com/810_15828_27482_flvhigh.flv{/flvremote}

THANK YOU SO MUCH F3lking! by the way, would you happen to know how to cut down the width? The horizontal widths are too big! You can see my url here: www.almostgolf.com/index.php/2008-Tour-Blog/

Seems to work for FF, but not IE. IE7 still pushes the video to center....Any idea there?

To anyone that has been looking for information on either how to flow text around the video and or align your video to one side or the other. I looked around and found two post. This one (which is about Flowing Text) and this one, about how to align: forum.joomlaworks.net/index.php?topic=5727.0

I took the best of both post and used them together to give me the following code. I am using the Default .CSS file, so if you were using another style with its own .CSS file, you would have to adjust it accordingly.

It works great, I have checked it in both IE7 and FF. You can view it on my site here:
www.projectresponder.us/project-skywarn/project-skywarn-truck-obtained.html

.allvideos {
display:block;
text-align:left;
float:left;
clear:both;
}

.allvideos_player {
display:block;
text-align:left;
float:left;
padding:0;
margin:4px;
border:none;
background:none;
}

.allvideos_player span {display:block;}

Does not seem to mess up other .CSS or areas of templates for your site. To align to the right, just change, text-align to right and float to right. If you wish to move the text a little bit form the edge of the video, just add padding:5px;, where 5px is the amount of pixels you want it moved into the first section.

Thanks for that southern.
Just curious, how does this affect the video when you DO want it to just float in the center of a content page, and dont want to wrap text around it?

This seems to work well on several browsers, but not IE6. Any thoughts?

Hey guys,

I'm trying this a little further down the line and everything seems to have changed unless I'm mistaken. JW_allvideos is now avreloaded and none of the filenames or placements seem relevant.

I'd still like to wrap the text around the video and choose left or right alignment.

Can anyone help with an update?

Thanks

Paul
