Video Vision

[yoyoman]

Ok this is want i want to do, is it possible? yes im sure it is, can i work it out? no not in a million years, has it been done already? maybe .. ..

 

here is the vision, where the text in all the product pages says "click here to enlare" beneath that i would like to add "watch video" and if a customer selects that option then a video would pop out in a player layered over the product page .

 

video could be hosted by youtube or vimeo or whatever

 

any ideas ?

possible various solution, using specific service + modification of your oscommerce = you will get what you need.

 

specific service - some space providers provide service to play the video and audio content.

You could look at the osplayer addon that pops up an mp3 player, to see where and how it modifies the product page/lists and perhaps use that to popup a flash video player instead, or a page that autoloads an embeded youtube video.

Youtube gives you the code to embed a video on any web page. Just paste that code into your product description. I've done this, as well as putting the embed code in a separate tab. Both ways work.

 

You could add it to a popup with a bit more work. Copy the image popup and use it as a template. You'd need an aditional database field to hold the video code.

 

This could also be done in Flash, such as with a Lightbox overlay, but that's adding yet more complexity. It all depends on how much work you are willing to go to.
