every product i need put this code ?

[DrByte]

Well, since I suspect every product will point to a different video, yes.

Is that the only way to get You Tube Videos in to my cart. Is there a way to have it stream without having a link off my cart? I think that this would be valuable for a lot of cart owners.

I use this simple trick: I name video clips the same as the catalog number. When the page is created, a little code checks to see if there is a video file of same name as the catalog number. If so, it embeds the streaming player. If not, you don't see the player.

For quick demo of streaming video in detail page click here and then scroll down a bit:

I don't have many videos yet so you won't see the player if no video exists. Player is nice simple zc streaming plugin trigered by catalog number.

Can you post details of script to achieve this please?

[kiddo]

Sure.

At some nice point in your tpl_product_info_display.php:

<?php
$movie = $products_model;
$movie_file = "/home/laserdis/public_html/media/" . $movie . ".flv";
if(file_exists($movie_file))
{?>
<table align="center"><tr><td>
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent(
'class','kimplayer',
'width','500',
'height','375',
'allowFullScreen','true',
'data','/FLVplayer/player_flv_maxi.swf',
'type','application/x-shockwave-flash',
'movie','/FLVplayer/player_flv_maxi',
'flashvars','flv=/media/<?php echo $movie; ?>.flv&configxml=/FLVplayer/config.xml' ); //end AC code
</script>
</td></tr></table>
<?php } ?>

Notes:
Make sure $movie_file points to your proper path. I show mine just for example.

Notes:
The AC_FL_RunContent script can be downloaded from Adobe.com This scipt handles all the browser-specific stuff for embeding the video. You can load this script the traditional Zen way, or put it in your html_header.php file.

Notes:
When I say Catalog Number, I really mean the Zen prroducts_model field.

Notes:
The actual FLV player module is NOT the popular JW-FLV player. I tried this and found many problems/conflicts with it if some other popular mods (LightBox for one) I will post a link to the base FLV code in just a few min. (I have to look it up).

Notes:
The Video SideBox on my site is also based on the same code but includes a playlist not in the bigger version.

Notes:
I use a good plugin for Firefox (what else?) to collect video from you tube and other sources.

Notes:
I loose some hair making this all work with Zen Cart but is nice solution if your site needs video. If there is any interest, I maybe package this up as a nice module for everyone.
