[Xerte-dev] Re: New Youtube page

[Ron Mitchell]

It's in place now - page 61 and 62 of
http://vle.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xot/play.php?template_id=22

 

If you go through in linear order Page 61 comes up with an undefined but
page 62 seems to work fine - not sure what the difference is but then if you
go back to page 61 it pops up the video from page 62.

 

Will the wizard have options to set pop-up window features such as
resizable? In IE 8 the pop up isn't resizable but I think it should be or
perhaps better still have control over than in the wizard. In Firefox and
Safari I can resize the pop-up.

 

Presumably this is grabbing the image automatically which is great? I don't
think it's as nice as the current YouTube page but if that's going then I
guess we have no choice. At least it means features such as captions and
view full screen are available.

 

How will the feed page work?

 

HTH

Hi Julian

did you commit to the XOT svn or just Xerte? Not showing up in the XOT svn
that I've been using for the test install. Not sure if I can just grab the
two files from the Xerte svn and just replace the files on the test install?

I just committed a new version of the youtube page: it uses newWindow to
launch the video. I tried doing the embed approach, but it's gribbly: the
movie hovers above the popup menus along the bottom, and moving to a new
page left the screen black for a few seconds. So this way pops up a new
window, but I think it's the best we can do until we get the HTML5 stuff
finished.

 

If you could pop it in the demo please Ron, I'll do the RSS one as well, but
I'll wait for any comments first.
