Mini Frontpage: problems with Youtube Background + two questions
- Posted by Vincenzo (12) Offline
I have some problems with the "Mini Frontpage" extension[/i], of which I purchased the premium version a few days ago.
For all the information I will give you, just look at the homepage of my site.
1. With the "Collage" and "Newsy" theme, the YouTube background is only displayed on mobile, not on desktop. Furthermore, even on mobile, it takes about 4 seconds before the YouTube background appears.
2. After installing the "Mini Frontpage" extension, the thumbnail images of the "Yendif Video Share - Playlist" extension have disappeared. I asked the extension developer for assistance, and he replied like this: «The thumbnail images (YouTube Video) in our playlist sidebar doesn't load. This is an issue created by the "Mini Frontpage" module. Looks like this extension scans for the YouTube image URLs on the whole page and takes on their own control. Please contact this extension developer and report them about this».
At last, a couple of questions:
1. "Collage" and "Newsy" theme: I would like that, by clicking on the thumbnail background or on the Youtube background, the user can be directed to the article (perhaps without the images hover effect). Currently only the title is clickable. How can I do this?
2. "Newsy" theme: I would like the introtext to appear on the other minor thumbnails too, as is the case with the hero thumbnails. How can I do this?
Thanks and congratulations for the amazing extension!

It works properly on browser from my side anyway. Please have a look on the video below. Am I missing something?1. With the "Collage" and "Newsy" theme, the YouTube background is only displayed on mobile, not on desktop. Furthermore, even on mobile, it takes about 4 seconds before the YouTube background appears.

Yes, indeed the minifp will scan the introtext of Joomla articles, find the youtube url, but it's for module only. How did you use this Yendif Video Share extension? Is it a joomla article plugin?2.

You can do that by create template override for both of Collage and Newsy template. If you don;t know how to create a template override, please have a look on this video :1. "Collage" and "Newsy" theme: I would like that, by clicking on the thumbnail background or on the Youtube background, the user can be directed to the article (perhaps without the images hover effect). Currently only the title is clickable. How can I do this?

For the introtext simply add this code below at lines 261 of newsy.php, after the code
<h4 class="mfp_newsy_title">
<a href="<?php echo $item->link; ?>" itemprop="url">
<?php echo JHtmlString::truncate(strip_tags($item->title), $title_truncate); ?>
</a>
</h4>
<?php if($show_intro != 0){ ?>
<p class="mfp_newsy_introtext">
<?php
// Show Thumbnail - Position before introtext
if(($newsy_thumbnail_position == "top2")||($newsy_thumbnail_position == "left2") || ($newsy_thumbnail_position == "right2")) { ?>
<a href="<?php echo $item->link; ?>" itemprop="url"><?php echo $thumb_img[0]; ?></a>
<?php } ?>
<?php
echo JHtmlString::truncate(strip_tags($item->introtext), $introtext_truncate); ?>
</p>
<?php } ?>
For making it click on thumbnail, for the collage, you will need a lot of code changes for that.
For the newsy theme, basically you just need to move the link code
<a href="<?php echo $item->link; ?>" itemprop="url">

1. I cleaned my browser cache and in fact you are right: now the module also works on desktop! I believe the Yendif developer solved the query problem, but I didn't know I had to clear the cache to see the results.
2. "Yendif Video Share" extension is a component that allows the creation of a video gallery on Joomla. This component also has a module called "Playlist" (the one you saw on my site's homepage), which allows you to view a playlist of Youtube videos uploaded for the Yendif component.
Currently, the only problem is that, with the activation of the Mini Frontpage Youtube background, the thumbnails placed on the right of the "Playlist" module disappear.
In your opinion is it possible to fix it or will I be forced to remove the "Playlist" module from my homepage?
3. Thanks for the other information! Top Support!

By disabling the "Yendif Player" module, this problem does not exist.
I think it always comes from the conflict between "Mini Frontpage" and "Yendif Playlist". And indeed, if you inspect the homepage and look at the errors reported by Chrome, it is as if "Mini Frontpage" interferes with "Yendif Playlist" finding the thumbnail, which appears briefly and then disappears.
The errors that are reported after the "Yendif Playlist" thumbnail has disappeared are:
- www-widgetapi.js:597 Failed to execute 'postMessage' on 'DOMWindow': The target origin provided ('www.youtube.com') does not match the recipient window's origin ('www.michaeljackson.it').
- GET img.youtube.com/vi/Hxgo-Qu-ZZE/maxresdefault.jpg 404
- Unrecognized feature: 'mute'.

I think the problem is because the javascript lib conflict between that one used by yendif(video.js) and minifrontpage(ytbg). I'll try to install yendif myself on my local computer and back to you very soon.
