Tweaking of Vimeo Gallery

Permalink
Hello good people.

I am using a Vimeo add-on called Video Gallery:http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/vimeo-gallery1/...

It works great, but I would like to have the video description embedded (now it only shows the video title). The script uses php and xml as far as I can see (I am a novice to both, but usually manage to figure things out). Is this an easy task?

I am trying to style the thumbnail so that the title and the description is showing the same way as here:http://www.butoh.no/c5/index.php/prosjekter/...
The thumbnail for the video is on the video page in the same website.

Any good inputs both on styling and getting the description pulled in is appreciated.

Hello,
To get the description you need to modify the view.php file (better to create a template with it actually) and on line 36 where you have:
<span><?php echo $video->title?></span>

you can modify it to follow the model you gave as an example
<div id="imageCaption-120" class="imageCap" style="width: 280px; height: 13px;">
<p class="captionText"><strong><?php echo $video->title?></strong></p>
<p class="extendedText"<?php echo $video->description?></p>
</div>

You need to modify the width and height to your requirement and use the same css as per your example.

Great. Thanks. One step further :)
I guess the css is in the view.css.php file?

I did as you suggested, but the description text is not visible. Anything I did wrong?

well I'm not sure. In the example ou gave the width and height are set inline, you can see them in the code I sent you back.
For Vimeo I suppose you can do it in the view.css.php.

What I suggested was only the html markup to get it working. You still need to copy the css from the working model and apply it here. The div containing the text needs to have an absolute positioning for instance...
