[FREE] Add youtube video below header

[yogesh_gamer]

Message:

I want to add youtube video below header.

Version

I am using 1.1.13 version. But the feature i want is not available for any version.

Disciption:

I want to add youtube video below header. I know i can do  that by editing Board Index file. But i want to change the video every day or hour. So editing is not a good idea. So i wanted a new mod for that.

Permissions

Everyone may use this feature. Because its just a video which i wanted to share.

Feature Set

Admin Option.

[Suki]

try this:

./Themes/default/BoardIndex.template.php

Code (find) Select Expand


// Show the news fader?  (assuming there are things to show...)


Code (replace) Select Expand



if (!empty($modSettings['youtube_view']) && !empty($modSettings['youtube_view_enable']))
echo '
<table border="0" width="100%" class="tborder" cellspacing="' , ($context['browser']['is_ie'] || $context['browser']['is_opera6']) ? '1' : '0' , '" cellpadding="4" style="margin-bottom: 2ex;">
<tr>
<td class="catbg"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="middle" align="center" height="60">
',$modSettings['youtube_view'],'
</td>
</tr>
</table>';


// Show the news fader?  (assuming there are things to show...)



./Sources/ModSettings.php

Code (find) Select Expand



// Basic stuff, user languages, titles, flash, permissions...


Code (replace) Select Expand



// Basic stuff, user languages, titles, flash, permissions...
array('check', 'youtube_view_enable'),
array('large_text', 'youtube_view', '6" style="width:95%'),



./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php

Code (find) Select Expand


?>


Code (Add before) Select Expand



// Youtube view
$txt['youtube_view'] = 'Place your Custom youtube video code Here:';
$txt['youtube_view_enable'] = 'Turn on the  youtube view mod';




Now you only need to go to your admin / modifications  menu an change your youtube video  from there

[yogesh_gamer]

i think i m using english utf-8
so i need to edit that file instead of english.
am i right?

[Suki]

Yes.

[yogesh_gamer]

done.
i posted my problem in Support page. But there was no answer.
you can make this a mod for automatic installation.

Thanks


Update:
i forget to mention that i want to add news (text) side by side.
Left Hand side Video and right hand side News/text

[Suki]

as you can see, I'm using a table to show the video, you could add another column to add your news in the right side.

[yogesh_gamer]

how can i do that?

[Suki]

like this:

Code Select Expand


if (!empty($modSettings['youtube_view']) && !empty($modSettings['youtube_view_enable']))
echo '
<table border="0" width="100%" class="tborder" cellspacing="' , ($context['browser']['is_ie'] || $context['browser']['is_opera6']) ? '1' : '0' , '" cellpadding="4" style="margin-bottom: 2ex;">
<tr>
<td class="catbg"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="middle" align="center" height="60">
',$modSettings['youtube_view'],'
</td>
<td>  my news/ text</td>
</tr>
</table>';




you probably want to add another field on  /Sources/ModSettings.php  too, check the example I gave above.

[yogesh_gamer]

should i remove the previous code?
which you mentioned above
and where to put the code?

[yogesh_gamer]

i paste the code.
but there is no option for news in admin area

[Suki]

thats because it doesn't have any  admin section for the news, as I said in my previous post you must add your news/text  to Modsettings.php like the example above and most important, you really should have told me this from the beginning that way I could added the news from the start.


.Sources/ModSettings.php

Code (find) Select Expand


// Basic stuff, user languages, titles, flash, permissions...
array('check', 'youtube_view_enable'),
array('large_text', 'youtube_view', '6" style="width:95%'),



Code (replace) Select Expand


// Basic stuff, user languages, titles, flash, permissions...
array('check', 'youtube_view_enable'),

[yogesh_gamer]

is there any need to remove the previous code?

[Suki]

If you pay attention  I use "find"    and "replace"  in the code box,  you need to follow those instructions, find the respective code in your files and replace it.


Basically you will replace your existing code with new one to add your news option.

[yogesh_gamer]

But there are some problem related to space.
When i enter:
some text
some text
a
b


Its showing me
some text sometext a b
