    Hi,

    I would like to do WPSP with videos. Is it possible?

    Hi there,

    Are you wanting to replace your featured images with videos?

    Let me know 🙂

    Hi there,

    Yes! Something like this

    How would you define the video? Using a custom field.

    I can’t find any plugins for it, so it’s likely necessary to un-hook the current image and hook in the video (depending on where it’s coming from).

    I created the Custom Post Type “video” and it contains the Custom Field “videoyou”
    Could you help me to unhook the image and hook the video, please?

    If possible, the idea I have is that in the WPSP list, when clicking on the video it will be reproduced and, when clicking on the title, it goes to the corresponding page link.

    So first you’ll want to disable the images in your list settings.

    Then add this PHP:

    add_action( 'wpsp_before_header', function() {
        $video = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'your_field_name', true );
    
        if ( $video ) {
            echo $video;
        }
    } );

    This assumes that the custom field has the full video HTML.

    Thank you very much Tom!
    Your code works but, instead of the video, there is only the link of the video with the title. You know why?

    Hi there,

    Does your custom field include the full HTML for the video?

    Hi Tom,
    I do not understand your question.
    I created an oEmbed field in AFC plugin. It is necessary to include the full html.

    What if you use a regular text/textarea field and include the full <iframe> element for the video?

    Works! Thank you!
    But now I need to keep the 16:9 ratio because now they deform depending on the size of the window. Is it possible?

    You would need to do this: https://css-tricks.com/NetMag/FluidWidthVideo/Article-FluidWidthVideo.php

    Look for the <iframe> Video (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.) section.

    Hi there,
    i would like to do the same.
    I have a page for a certain category.
    And i have posts for that category which are either about a video or about an image.
    Then i would like to show the posts (with optional excerpt) and be able to play the video or just display the image.

    Is that possible with WPSP?
    Could you please explain the steps Cris did here to get his results with a little more detail. So i as a total newbie can reproduce them?

    Thanks,
    Tom
