In Joomla 1.0.x, you simply create a custom module and put the plugin's tags in it as you would with articles (content items).

Unfortunately, in Joomla 1.5.x the custom module option does not allow plugin parsing. In other words, AllVideos or any other plugin cannot simply work inside custom modules. This is a drag, but c'est la vie...

A simple solution is to use our UCD module - see www.joomlaworks.net - which fetches content items. Just create a new content item, put AllVideos tags in it and then inside UCD's options simply add the content item's ID into the related parameter. UCD will then fetch the video inside a module position. Simple and cool.

We -as JoomlaWorks and Komrade- generally follow this approach on most of our projects. That is why we made UCD in the first place...

Check out www.cinemad.gr for example and you'll see what I mean. This solution obviously works for Joomla! 1.0.x and 1.5.x.  ;)

Anyone know why the J! team would leave this very much used feature from the J! 1.5 version??

Fotis, have you or any other developers asked them why this is like this in J! 1.5?  Will it be added back ?

Just a note, it was driving me insane that I followed the above instructions and my videos were still not showing in the UCD module. I have figured out that you need to make sure that if you are using Article IDs that they belong to a Section and Category otherwise they will not render. I unfortunately had my article set as "Categorized" for both the section and category and nothing was displaying. I don't know if this is intentional but once I created a Section and Category and moved my article in there all was working perfectly.

Thanks for the Tip.

"Categorized"

you mean "UNCATEGORIZED"

The UCD module is in the slider menu in the middle of the site.
The same video IS showing within menu "anti-terrorisme" (left)

Your video inside Tabs plays just fine. The only thing you must do is to go to template.css folder line 13 and add margin:-20px and width:416px as at this element:
span.avPlayerContainer span.avPlayerSubContainer span.avPlayerBlock {
display:block;

template.css (line 13)
span.avPlayerContainer span.avPlayerSubContainer, span.avPlayerContainer span.avPlayerSubContainer span, span.avPlayerContainer span.avPlayerSubContainer input {
color:#BBBBBB;
font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;
font-size:10px;
margin:-20px;
width:416px;
}

Thank you for your reply.

However, I'm now just seeing a black small bar and the body moved down a few px, (see a blue bar now on top). How to adjust this back?

Template.css now:

#at-tablatdiv { padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 10px; display: block; }

/* begin logo shtes
*/
#logo1, img#logo1
{ position: absolute; top: 40px; left: 270px; border: 0; }
div.wrapper { text-align: left; margin: auto; position: relative; }
/* end logo shtes
*/

/* COMMON STYLE
*/
html, body, form, fieldset { margin: -20;  padding: 0; } span.avPlayerContainer span.avPlayerSubContainer, span.avPlayerContainer span.avPlayerSubContainer span, span.avPlayerContainer span.avPlayerSubContainer input {
color:#BBBBBB;
font-family:Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;
font-size:10px;
margin:-20px;
width:416px;
}
}
body {
color: #000000;
background: #FFFFFF;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
line-height: 150%;
}

The site is not being tested, it is live.
I view it with IE 7 and IE 8 than it does not show in the tab.

When I view it with Firefox + downloaded newest Adobe flashplayer 10.x it did work.

So how to make it appear when using IE 7 or IE 8?

Try to use another video format by another provider to see what happens? I think that the problem cause by Quicktime latest version. If this is the problem the only solution is to use another video format or another remote provider.

No solution.

I've tried a different video format with the same remote provider - same problem.
I've tried a different video format with another remote provider (youtube) - same problem.

The weird thing is that the video does show in an article, just not in the tab module.

Other solutions anybody?

After installing Allvideos Reloaded, it was all solved.

Actions:
- I disabled the latest Allvideos v3.1, and enabled the 'old' Allvideos Reloaded.
- Deleted the UCD module
- Deleted the Joomlaworks Custom Code

The videos now appear anywhere on the site.

I am sorry but this thread sounds terribly confusing to me. I just need to play a video in a module within the frontpage. So i have installed three things:
mod_jw_cc
mod_jw_ucd
mod_jw_allvideos

Videos show wll within articles, but i can't get them to play in a module. I have tried
-create a JoomlaWorks Custom Code code, with the tags.Doesn't work
-create a Ultimate Content Display, with the tags. For the ID content I write the id of an article with the youtube tags inside. The article is categorized under a section and a Category. Doesn't work
What on earth am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the help!!
