[MOD] Recently Viewed Videos

[painthappy]

I wanted to have a section of recently viewed videos as I've seen on other sites, so I coded up my own.  Figured I would share.

I'm using the ProMOTION theme right now and version 3.5 of phpmotion, but I made sure this works for the default theme also.  I don't run ads, so I don't know how that might effect websites.  Sorry.  You're on your own there.

Follow the instructions in the zip file depending on your theme.  BTW:  This should work fine for v3.0 also, as I had this running under 3.0 as well.

Demo:  http://www.mcbtv.com
Goto the bottom of the main index page for the "recently viewed" section.

Download: http://www.mcbtv.com/mycode/Recently Viewed Videos.zip

There are two image files, one grey, and one blueish that should fit most themes... Obviously edit the image in photoshop to fit your needs.  I stink at photoshop, so it's close enough for what I can accomplish.

New Files Included:

recently_viewed.php - New File to add to your Root Directory

Files to Edit:  index.php and your main.css file

Enjoy!

That's pretty slick, nice work!

I'm going to play around with it a bit, it would be great to get the titles under the thumbs.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, glad you like it.  Working on a bunch more modifications, so I'll share what I do.

As for the title underneath... I don't think there is enough room.  Maybe an "alt" tag should be added, or something done with css, but it's just a little mod for folks to see what others are watching and click on the latest or whatever.

great mod this works for jammi to just use the promotion install instructions the only change is you add the line bellow to the very end of inner_index.htm

<!--Begin Recent Videos-->
<div class='recently_viewed_con'>
   <div class='recently_viewed_text'>Recently Viewed</div>
       <div class='recently_viewed'>
             <!--[var.recent_list;htmlconv=no;comm]-->
        <br style='clear:both;' />
       </div>
</div>
<!--End Recent Videos-->

Hi Great Mod! I am just trying to install it on the jamii template. I have the mod on there but the image is not showing in the background and the "recently viewed" text seems like its just on default. my site is www.cretchy.com, any ideas thanks for this mod

[pmofcan78]

Was able to get it installed ok, but any suggestions on how to modify it to fit the jamii template would be great.

in recently_viewed.php

under
     $recent_video_desc = $result['description'];

add
     $recent_video_title = $result['title'];


change the $rlist variable to ,all 1 line
     $rlist = "&nbsp;<a href=\"./videos/".$recent_video_indexer."/".$recent_video_title_seo."\"><img src=\"./uploads/thumbs/".$recent_video_id.".jpg\" title=\"".$recent_video_title."\"/>[/url]&nbsp;";
