replace product image with video


Recommended Posts

I have done a little research here and have found some ways to embed flash or other video code into the small description html area. However, I would like to be able to have the video displayed on the product list page so the user receives a viewable list of videos/products without having to click further into a specific product.

Is there a way to have video displayed where the product preview image is on the product list page?

Thanks very much for advice here --

Just wanted to clarify what I am looking for in case Rocky or any one else is familiar. And thanks again for your time:

When clicking on a category, products are listed in the middle section. I was hoping for a way to replace the image that is displayed here with a video. Again, I have seen ways to embed code that will pull a video into the product description, but only after clicking on the product description.

I am hoping to have an index of short videos and plan on uploading a large number of videos. It would be great to have all videos previewable right at the beginning.

Any ideas?

Thanks again for your time,

Andy

You would have to seriously edit the products.tpl file in your themes folder to accomplish that.
It is possible of course, but it might be easier to add the video to the info block below the product.

But if you insist you should add your code in this tpl file.
Look for this code :

Add your video code here and delete the existing code. But remember that you will take away functionality

You can just add your video code to the Description field when you create/edit your product in the BO.
If tinyMCE deletes your video tags (like embed / iframe etc) then you need to change the configuration of tinymce.

Even if this post is old...It's not dead... I raise it up!!!!!!! :)

I'd like to replace the image product with a youtube video and also open a video popup when rolling over the thumbnail product.

Any idea ?
Thx a lot
