Title: Youtube Block from my existing Youtube Board
Post by: Raji on December 06, 2010, 12:55:12 AM

Hello there,

I have YOUTUBE section/category on my site

http://baask.com/diwwan/index.php?board=53.0

Now I  need a block to display latest 2/3 (as par admin choice) topics (having youtube video) from the above mentioned section.

Please advice how can I get my desired output?

Thanks in advance for your prompt response

BoardNews block -- to display latest topics from one board.
 
Is this what you want?

Yes you are right.

Thank you so much for your response.

Now may I re size these youtube videos as par my left or right block within SP? (means just display thumbneil of these videos)

Looking forward
Raji

SimplePortal is not set up to resize Youtube thumbnails.
If you have a look at how portal.js does this (function sp_resize is called by the onload event), and how you can recognize youtube thumbnails in these blocks, you can probably figure out how to get sp_resize to also resize these.
 
It could get messy, though. you'll want to test on a test forum.
