I got the modal window working, but how do I get the Overlay to show up?

Hi CinemaSaville,

Not sure what you mean by that.

Could you try to add a little bit of description to the ticket and perhaps a screenshot?

Did you follow all the installation steps?

drush dl domwindow-plugin and all?

Did you configure the field (on the content type) to use the overlay display rather than just the thumbnail or the embedded code?

I really don't know how to use drush so maybe that's the issue. I did install the domwindow -plugin manually though. And yes, I have the field configured to use the overlay display. The problem is that the play button doesn't show up like you have in your example. I can click it and have the modal window open to play the video so that's good. But I honestly don't know how to make the play overlay show up which would be wonderful. I placed jquery.domwindow.js in my libraries folder.
What else should I try?

Thanks!

Hi,

Well we call the layer that floats on top of your content, spans the width and height of your screen and places the embedded video player in a div in the middle of your sreeb,

So when you're talking about the overlay do you mean the play icon that shows up on top of the thumbnail?

Let me clarify that behavior for you. The size of the thumbnail is controlled by image styles. ( Configuration -> Media -> Image Styles )

For the play button, we are using an image style that overlays a semi-transparent play icon on top of the image thumbnail. The core Image module does not provide this, so in the example we use the imagecache_actions module and specifically the imagecache_canvasactions submodule.

I have added, just for you, default implementations and settings to react when that module is enabled.

So please download the latest version or video_embed_field_overlay module, as well as the imagecache_actions module and enable the imagecache_canvasactions module to see the new image style with the play icon overlay.

I have also enhanced the README.txt to include more setup details. I am closing this ticket for now.

Thanks for your continued support to this module, your feedback is what makes it better.
