Adding Video page to site
Permalink
I'm trying to add a video page to my site much like youtube. Where the video thumbnails would populate the page and once clicked on they would be taken to the page (on the site) where they can watch the video. Seeing has how this functionality doesn't seem to be inherent in the core I am sure I'd probably have to do this manually (setting up the videos thumbnail page and even the video page itself) How would I automate this feature if I want to allow my members to do this without having to manually create a page for their video and then go add their video to the video gallery?
Either way, the tricky part here isn't playing the video but rather enabling end-users to create new pages. Assuming you figured out how the videos would be stored/displayed (you'd need to use the built-in YouTube block or another video addon from the marketplace or build one yourself), you could create a single_page that allowed users to upload new videos or paste in youtube url's, then in the code you can dynamically create a new page in the site.
Unfortunately I don't know all of the exact steps you'd need to take to make this happen -- it is definitely a decent amount of development work. Hopefully this at least points you in the right direction.
Good luck!
