[CMS] Change Youtube Size on content.php

[kontagio.us]

When I create a new article and insert a video it shows up okay. When I view the index page it shows up as a small thumbnail. I would like to be able to resize the thumbnail.

I tried changing the height and width in the bbcode template but it only applies to the article page not on the index.

I want to change the video size on the index page not the article page. Resize these (see picture.)

I found the template where you can edit this Edit Templates > vBulletin CMS Templates > vbcms_content_section_page but it seems to be a defined variable that I can't find.

I've had this problem since the first beta version of vBulletin 4. Does anyone know how to change this?

Looks like it is the class ".showpreviewonly object" which shows the width being set by "{vb:stylevar vbcms_article_preview_object_size};" So, it's a stylevar.

Thank you so much Lynne, I'll have to try it after work!!

How about removing the ... found beside the embeded video?

I am having trouble getting the resized thumbnail on the CMS home page. I changed the stylevar to 120 x 120 and it just shows the full version, and it overlaps my other articles! If I put the embed code in a table, I'll get a scroll bar at the bottom of the article preview. It looks like this in IE8 and Chrome.

Am I missing something? I am just pasting in the embed code from YouTube in the article.

I don't see what you are talking about. I don't have that on my site. Do you have an image of it?

We are not talking about using html. We are talking about using the vbulletin bbcode tag [ video ] to add in a youtube video.

Well, that was easy enough! That was what I was doing wrong. Thanks Lynne! 8)

Thanks the resizing of the video worked perfectly. If I add text it shows up before the "...."

Here is what it looks like now:

Weird. I don't get those ... at all. I am running 4.0.2 on my test site though, so maybe it was changed? What you may want to try also, is go edit your article and put in a Preview Break after the text you want to see on that page. See if that gets your text posted instead of the ...

The preview break didn't seem to work. I'm trying to show no text only the video.

I know you can't say anything specific but how is 4.0.2?

[Lynne]

I could probably be specific if I had a specific question. I haven't played with it a whole lot and actually, my verison is pre the version on here. I need to upgrade it. But, the major issues that got introduced in 4.0.1 (the first/last post issue, the go to first unread) are fixed. A lot more stylevars are introduced, including one to set the width for the smilies in the smilies box (something a lot of users wanted).

I still cannot get the ... to show. (But I did just cause it to do something very weird! Into the bug tracker I go...) OK, I did just get it to type some text and then end with ... But I can't get it to ONLY show ...

Try using a [video] code with no text, It might show only ...
