Vidéo?

02 Sep 2022, 02:15

Hello,
I am testing your scripts. for the photos it's great everything works perfectly.
Is it possible to also insert videos like photos?
Ex: I have a photo gallery and in the middle I want to put a small video (miniature of the video like the photos) and when you click on it the video opens in full screen like a photo.

currently when I insert a video it is found in the 1st of my gallery and in large step in miniature like the photos and not in the order of shooting.

Thank you and congratulations for the work!

Hi. Currently, video is not supported in "galleries", mainly because there is no function to create thumbnails from videos (unless you own your own server). Therefore, uploaded videos are embedded directly into the page, separate from the gallery.

There is one workaround for this:
  1. Hide the video (so it doesn't embed in the page).
  2. Upload a preview image for your video.
  3. For the preview image, link it to the video, and target "X3 popup" (available in gallery "edit" mode).
It will now open in the popup (like images) when clicked. It's not a perfect solution, because it will not be included in the popup slideshow that gets created when user first clicks an image. It's an isolated item.

Ok, thank you very much for your quick response. Too bad that's not possible.

I will test this solution.
