Thumbnail gallery in page not in sidebar

[shurford]

Hi there, Does anyone have any ideas about positioning the thumbnails
for a video gallery in the page section (below or to the side of the
video player) rather than the sidebar section of Wordpress using the
vPIP plugin? The later is done using the widget but the former has me
stumpped....

Any assistance appreciated.

Well,  Charles Iliya Krempeaux is the one who wrote the plugin (related videos and such) that places the thumbnails.  It works with vPIP, but is a separate plugin.  I'd check with him on this capability.

This isn't a plug-in thing -- this is a theme thing.

The theme is what decides to place which content where on the page.
The Wordpress widget sidebar thingy lets you drop and drag things into
the sidebar -- but yup, not in the footer or other places.

To do this, you want to get into the theme code and hack up that php.

Once you understand the concepts.... then all you really need to do is
paste the Recent Videos or Related Videos code into the footer.php file.

Yes, on the VideoPress Related Videos page,

http://changelog.ca/project/VideoPress_Related_Videos

it says you can place

<?php do_action('videopress_related_videos');?>

on a wordpress admin Presentation->Theme Editor page to get the thumbnails.  I haven't tested that.  But I'd look into that.

Hello,

(Assuming you are talking about the Related Videos plugin... and not
the Recent Videos plugins....)

Yes... using the template tag...

<?php do_action('videopress_related_videos');?>

... is one way to place Related Videos in your template where you want it.

Also... if you are using a WordPress theme that has more than one
widget area... then you could put it in any one of those.

There's also another way of doing it, if you have some PHP knowledge.

In WordPress, there is the $post global variable.

You can get at the related videos with...

$post->related_videos

(That will give you a PHP array, with all sorts of information about
each related video.)

See ya
