Hi Guys,

I just installed this plauging with a view to having an embedded youtube video on each product flypage.

Since installing it, the flypage is BLANK on every product. The left and right columns are still there though.

I have unpublished the allvideo plugin but the pages are still blank, I have made no other changes to the flypage.

HELP!!  :(

Thanks

Gary

Do any of you know how I can use the Virtuemart Short Description box as the input for the URL of the file so that it automatically embeds the video on the right place on the page?

Right now I get the text

{wmvremote}www.xxxxxxxxx.com/video/clips/DVDONCARDCHEAT-VIDEO1.wmv{/wmvremote}

actually appearing on the page.

I have put  {wmvremote}  and  {/wmvremote}on either side of the virtuemart short desc tag in the flypage but it seems to read it as text and not a call to a plugin.

Any ideas?

Many Thanks

Gary

I'm able to add videos to my product description but the video run over product image in lightbox. Anyone have any idea on how to fix this?
:-\

I added videos to VirtueMart products and I have the following problem:
Some of the videos do NOT play in Internet Explorer 7 but I do NOT have the same problem with Mozilla Firefox. The videos are in .flv format.
Do you have any idea what is happening?
Thank you in advance!  :'(

[this tutorial was written for Virtuemart v1.0.x - the newest release supports plugin parsing natively]

AllVideos has made it very easy for people since June 2006 ( :D) to add videos in their Joomla! content. So a natural progression to this would be to add videos in e-shops/product pages as well. We all know that VirtueMart is the best e-shop implementation out there.

So how do we enable video playback in VirtueMart, in an easy manner, similar to the AllVideos Plugin? Well... we just enable the use of AllVideos inside VirtueMart!  :D

Here's the solution to enable the plugin for the "product details" page:

Open up the file administrator/components/com_virtuemart/html/shop.product_details.php and in the end of it, look for:

/* Finish and Print out the Page */
echo $template;

and add ABOVE this some code. Overall the change is this:

// start - enable "content type" plugin parsing
   global $_MAMBOTS;
   $_MAMBOTS->loadBotGroup( 'content' );
   $row->text = $template;
   $results = $_MAMBOTS->trigger( 'onPrepareContent', array( &$row, &$params, $page ), true );
   $template = $row->text;
// end - enable "content type" plugin parsing

/* Finish and Print out the Page */
echo $template;

This will load the "content type" plugins in VirtueMart. That means that you can use the AllVideos Plugin to add videos in your products (as showcase) and even use the "Tabs & Slides in Content Items" Plugin to display your product's details in Tabs and/or Slides!!

Cool, huh??

Download both from www.joomlaworks.net and have fun!

Hi Guys,


I have the same problem .
When i insert your script i have on every product i open a blank page, all white.

I use Ja Mesolite template.
Can i fix this somehow?

Thanks a lot!

oh wow, yeah it's not working for me in all of the latest stable versions. I put the code in the description and it just shows the  stuff right there on the page.  How strange that it used to work but doesn't any longer

Hello everybody!
If you want to add the ability to parse Allvideos tags in virtuemart (1.1.8 version) and joomla 1.5.22 you need to use such a hack code:
shop.browse.php (for category description)
After:

^{$desc =  $ps_product_category->get_description($category_id);
$desc = vmCommonHTML::ParseContentByPlugins( $desc );}

add
^{$desc = JHTML::_('content.prepare', $desc);}

That is all. Have a nice video
:)

Yonish,

Thanx for you post - however I just get the videotags shown in the category list, so I just have one question..

I get this:
(Product image)
{flv}samples/video{/flv}
Short description.
[Product Details...]

Do I need to implement both Fotis' hack and then your hack afterwards? Or is your hack the only thing I need to have the AllVideo shown in category view?

I allready have videos being shown in detailed productdescription, using the Joomlaworks AllVideo plugin - I just need to have the video in the category view as well.

Cheers,
Zorroson :)

PS. Using J1.5.23 and VM 1.1.7a

Edit: Im placing my videotag in the products short description - could this be the reason for my problem?

I'm sure no one installed between the e-commerce version of the file system and installation of Joomla and then virtuemart.Anyways differences - to comply with my previous post, I have implemented this fix, and found it works quite well
