Open Source Services

I added the player code into the product_info.php page so I can add videos under the picture of my products. I hope to be able to add a different video per product, however, what if there are products with no video??

My problem is that products that I do not want the video on still have the empty player.
How can we make it not show the player? Player should only be visible if that specific product has a video added to it.

Thank you.

Hello

Thanks for the post.

Your problem is happening because the URL Substring you are using is too general. If you just put 'product_info' or something like that as the URL Substring, then the player will appear in all product info pages.

You need to supply a URL Substring which is unique to the specific product. This usually means using a URL substring which includes the product id number.

Hope this helps.

P.S. the free version allows only one clip per position, but you can work around this if you create other positions on the same page. the premium version doesn't have this limitation.

Hi nick,regarding on this issue i tried to figure it out on how to view the video for the specific product,I already used to to entered the url of the product(product_info.php?cPath=26&products_id=56&osCsid=3c9d7ac3b62da8315f9fed43e87f68e8)in URL substring but still didnt show.

And one thing also, I cannot add another video file, I tried to add another video in admin in mpeg format. The first video file that I add and working is mpeg in 2000kb and the other one that i used to add and cannot be added is in 17,182kb. Is it also theres a limit on size?.

My versions:
PHP 5
MYSQL 5
oscommerce v2.2 RC2

Waiting for the resolution..Thanks.

Hi Jamine

Thanks for your question.

The URL substring you are using is too long (check the SQL script to find its length in characters). If you use something like 'products_id=56' that should work.

Since the free version of CineSound only has Winwodws Media Player support, progressive download behaviour is not available. This means that users have to wait for the entire clip to download before playback begins, so for big files like the ones you are using, that would take a long time.

The premium version of CineSound also supports QuickTime and Flash, which do allow progressive downloads (where the clip starts before the file has finished downloading).

Finally, in the free version, you are only allowed one clip per position on the page, but you can get around this by adding multiple positions to a page, and associating each with a different clip. The premium version doesn't have this limitation.

Hope this helps.
