Hey guys,
Ive currently got a module installed that allowes me to embed YouTube videos on my post, however i would like to put videos on the frontpage (article)
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks
Travis
If you're using TP 1.0.5, create a BBC article and use the same code you would use in a post.
If you're using TP .98, create an html article and use the "embed" code that is included on most YouTube pages along with the video. (You'll have to either turn off any wysiwig editor or view the source in order to paste in the "embed" code.)
Ok, only thing is, there is a button on the forum post, however there is not for the BBC Code
Ok all good! Thanks!
Also, one last thing, I can only seem to get one Article to display. It only displays the featured. I would like to have several articles on the frontpage. I have done it on previous TP versions. Any help?
Thanks
Can you provide us with some information so we can help? What are your frontpage settings? How many articles do you have? Are the enabled to show on the frontpage?
Yes they are enabled to show on the frontpage. However, they will only show if i have them set as featured.
This is a frontpage setting, set it in
Settings and Frontpage > Frontpage to suit your needs
Make sure it isn't set to
Featured article and front page blocks (which will only show 1 article "the featured one")

You still haven't told me what your frontpage settings are set to.....
Ok yep i see it. Don't know how i could have missed that.
One last questions ... I was under the assumpting under one of the settings i saw that you could make the articles show as a slideshow. Is that possible?
Using the fade-in article option?
Not without a script, I dont think, check dynamicdrive.com
Ok well what does the Article Fade in option mean?

Where is that option?
If you go to edit an existing Article you will see that option.
It appears to me to take 3 articles that would be 3 separate articles on the front page and would consolidate into one but would fade to the others.
Correction, if you go to edit the FrontPage category
Hmmm I haven't yet messed with that option, maybe Ich or someone has an idea on it, I would like to know as well
I think that would be awesome for the frontpage, but i have yet to get it to work or figure out what it is for.
Anyone know?
