I have one album & sub-albums devoted to YouTube videos. I use the method using class-textobject, which uses a jpg file and a text file with the YouTube embed code, that are named exactly the same. This works fine if you click on the file name link below an image, but not if you click directly on the image (when using zpBoostrap).

I have been reading the Fancybox documentation that states that fancy box handles YouTube links quite easily. Anyone have ideas if this could be implemented in Fancybox if the correct code is used in the text file?

My current text is very simple, but it gives an error from Fancybox.

Here is the documentation for video on Fancybox: http://fancyapps.com/fancybox/3/docs/#video

Thanks

If I read correctly you should add something like this YouTube video into the textobject so fancybox triggers on it. That's the URL of the video page and not the Youtube embed code.

Pretty sure I tried that. But it seems like if ZP hands off that code to Fancybox it should play the video. I will look at Fancybox settings in zpBootstrap next.

Did a quick look through the Fancybox javascript and it appears that processing youTube videos is quite robust. It must be something simple to get Fancybox to trigger the the YouTube video.

I am afraid I never used this feature of zenphoto.
I have no idea how videos work in general with zenphoto and how it should work with zpBoostrap.

as requested before, can you provide a link to have a look?

Vincent my gallery is private. I have sent you address & credentials via the contact form on your personal gallery.

Hosting videos via YouTube is quite a bit better at serving to users than hosting videos on a shared server. The method I mention above is quite simple. If it was just adapted to Fancybox it would be a good feature. The Fancybox code looks like it is designed to handle media from many, sources, just need to implement the proper code that transfers the link from ZP to Fancybox.

hi
simply, I think my theme doesn't support videos as you want.
do you use plugin class-video or one other?
I need to know how reproduce your case, and hope so, improve my theme.

Pretty sure I tried that. But it seems like if ZP hands off that code to Fancybox it should play the video. I will look at Fancybox settings in zpBootstrap next.

Then it might be a JS rebinding issue but I don't think because textobject is server side so all ready when Fancybox is initated. Review the code the theme produces if yo add the fancybox html discussed above.

Textobjects are really code agnostic. You can enter any html and it is basically just printed out instead of the sized image on image types. You should really try this in a standard theme. If it works there it is something different in VIncent's theme (which I am not familar with).

ok, I understand:

you use class-textobject with embeded code to your videos on youtube (https://forum.zenphoto.org/discussion/1409908/embedded-youtube-videos-no-longer-displaying-on-mobile-devices), using a tip of zenphoto (https://www.zenphoto.org/news/using-external-sources/#using-videos-from-youtube-or-other-portals).

the best way to help you is to give the full context of your use case as it is not a standard behavior of zephoto!

I will have a look...
