Video Fieldtype

[gornycreative]

Just curious if this module is still active/stable? It doesn't appear in the modules directory - I only found it through searching the forum.

Thanks, J

@gornycreative -  I haven't used it in quite some time, but I think it should still work.

Struggling with page reference inside repeater

Hi,
since the video files are usually bigger then some jpgs, I wanted to reuse uploaded video files on a website.

There is a page reference field select_video inside a repeater. The file field for the videos is video_field.
In a hidden page "video-container" are hidden child pages. Each child pages has a single video. I want to show each video via the page reference (inside a repeater) on a different page.
In the field video_field under Basics -> Type the option Files is active. 
 

This is my code, where only headline and body_second are rendered.

<? foreach ($page->repeater_headline_movie_text as $item) : ?>
					<h3><?= $item->headline; ?></h3>
					<article class="video_article">
						<?php if ($item->select_video->id) : ?>
							<?php $file = $item->video_field;
								if($file) {
  								echo "<video width='{1280}' height='{710}' poster='{$file->video_field->poster}' controls='controls' preload='yes'>
									<source type='video/mp4' src='{$file->video_field->url}' />
									<track kind='subtitles' src='{subtitles}' srclang='de' />
								</video>
							";
								} ?>
						<?php endif; ?>
						<div class="textwrapper">
							<?= $item->body_second; ?>
						</div>
					</article>
				<? endforeach; ?>

At a quick glance, it feels like you are missing a level when getting the video. You need to get the video_field from the select_video, but instead you are getting video_field from $item. Does that sound right?

Hi Adrian,

thanks for your suggestion. Yes, now I see what's missing. The logic must be:
Select the page, check if there is a field video_field inside and render the content.

And I think that this php-logic causes me headache 😕
