Hi Melanie,

Currently there is no setting to show the video player directly in your link's stream item. What you can do is to modify this file 'JOOMLA/media/com_easysocial/apps/user/links/themes/default/streams/preview.create.php' at line 33 ~ 36:

<a href="javascript:void(0);" class="stream-preview-image" data-es-links-embed-item data-es-stream-embed-player="<?php echo $this->html('string.escape', $oembed->html);?>">

    <img src="<?php echo $oembed->thumbnail;?>" />

    <i class="icon-es-video-play"></i>

</a>

to:

<div class="video-container"><?php echo $this->html('string.escape', $oembed->html);?></div>

The above will display the player directly when rendering the stream item.

Hope this help

Hi Sam,

This didn't work and instead showed the image attached.

Hey Melanie,

You need to remove the preceeding / from the image source because Joomla is adding this on the code that sam posted above.

Hi Mark,

Please can you elaborate a little for me? I don't understand what you mean.

Thanks

Hello Melanie,

Sorry for the confusion earlier. Please try to replace the attached file in: ../media/com_easysocial/apps/user/links/themes/default/streams/preview.create.php and see how it goes.
