Hi

I know this question was asked about a year ago and the answer then was 'no' but I thought I'd check now and see if anything has changed. I use the latest blogs module on the home page of a site to show featured blogs along with their corresponding blog image. I'd like one of my blog posts to include a video instead of the blog image and be playable within that latest blogs module. Is this possible?
hello Jamie O'Reilly,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.
Regarding this you can hack on this file
JoomlaFolder\modules\mod_latestblogs\helper.php


//LINE 293 -294

				$row->intro			= EasyBlogHelper::getHelper( 'Videos' )->strip( $row->intro);

				$row->content		= EasyBlogHelper::getHelper( 'Videos' )->strip( $row->content);

//Replace with



				$row->intro			= EasyBlogHelper::getHelper( 'Videos' )->processVideos( $row->intro);

				$row->content		= EasyBlogHelper::getHelper( 'Videos' )->processVideos( $row->content);

So it will show the video in the module, the reason why we strip this video by default is because the width is too small if display on the right position. We will see which is better solution regarding this in the future.
