how to display 1 video at banner position??

hi,

i want to display latest video insted of banner.

i.e. remove banner or image silde show at top...and dislay latest video..

How to do this??

THIS PAGE should answer your questions for you.  ; )

There's also a place in admin >settings to choose between using the promo header or a custom html block that you specify.  Embedding a video with a known url is easy, but embedding the latest video will be a little tricky since you can't use php in that block.

but getting problem in query and page_main_code variable...

But unable to manage page_main_code variable...

If you find any solution plz tell me..

hi,

please give me solution for this...

The solution:

Admin Dashboard -> Settings -> Basic Settings

Scroll down and deactivate the Promo Block

In the Editor below that (PromoBlock) enter your code, pic, own swf save

Remember Google Chrome is best for HTML Block Editing :)... sssh its a secret ;)

All good.

sombRIA, he wants to use the latest video uploaded to the site, as content to replace the promo banner.  You won't be able to use php, so it's not quite as simple as adding some html code.  

I offered the correct 'simple' solution. You just said I'm wrong. How helpful were you really being to this post anyway. Thanks but I'll wait for his response. Thank you.

I am not saying you are wrong.  I'm saying that you misunderstood what the guy wants to do.

If you believe that you can display the lastest video that was uploaded to his site by adding some html code to where you say, please post the code here.

As far as i know sombRIA, i believe houstonlively is correct. To do what Aamit wants would require the database be queried to determine the latest video posted to the site so it can be played in the promo section.

The html section for custom code does not support PHP code. So to do this a mod would need to be made for this.

Deano, it can probably be done by creating a php file to display the latest video.. and only the latest video, and then insert that via an iframe into the html block.  There's probably a more elegant way to do it though.

Actually, yea, that probably would work.

Well first you're not displaying your video in...

That is what I said... you'll be loading the player/swf in the html Block and calling whatever code via the swf (action script) that's where I am on this problem.

His Q?: I want to display a video player in my promo box and insert the latest upload video to my site...

I'll see if I can find the AS... Did this years ago w/somebody's site. :)

--> In fact, I think I just took over the Promo.swf file all together on that site

Oh crud. Your braver than i am. I stink with action script. No way i would even attempt it. I would rather make a dolphin mod.

MACROMEDIA gave life to the NET... before that is was very cold and dark on the world wide webless... But then our SAVIOR... FLASH came to rescue all of us DREAMERs as Lennon said and the Web gave life, color, creativity...

Been wait'n a long time for the real Ray sources, I just finally might upgrade from Flash 5... Action Script is just another code, lanaguage, system of rules. If you love your Ray and RMS then you have MACROMEDIA in your Dolphin soul.

Also alot of new players swf/flv are equipped with extension scripts to call to existing DBs. Not that scary at all really. If you'd build a MOD you could load a personal player and link it to the Dolphin DB.

I haven't tested this, but there might be 2 ways of approching this.

1: Go to your page builders and get the php.page for featured members,,example, put the block in, clikc on it and check & look at the info, get the url of the block, go back to header_html and insert that block above the others,,,just a suggestion, don't know if it will work.

2: I have read before that there is a way to display another file on the promo block via a link, example a flash file by linking it can be displyed, a flash slide show hosted somewhere else can be displayed, maybe you can link to your own features videos page and the block will show up...

Hope this helps...

 Aamit, sombria said he has a simple solution for you, so I'm going to refrain from any further comment.
