Is using a rich text editor (FCK or Tiny) the only way to add video
content using WY? I would prefer not to use one of these if possible.

I don’t have the time to try this at the moment, but what happens if you put a jpeg format video in a WY image object?

Hmm, what about trying one of the Lightbox derivatives that work with video the same way they work with images? Maybe WebYep can be fooled?

Hi,
I haven’t tried your jpg suggestion yet but I will. Speaking of Lightbox, has anyone used Slimbox (Mootools Suite) with WebYep applied images?

I haven’t, and seeing as how the action inserts the javascript into the page and not the webyep system folder, doubt it will.

Hi Todd the mootools light-box version (slimbox) wont work though I have ask if this could be a possible future inclusion and as far as video goes at the moment I think if you try to upload a video up using a normal image action it will fail.
though it is possible using TinyMCE and the image manager plug-in.

Thanks Max, that’s what I thought but I figured I would ask anyway. I would prefer to avoid using a rich text editor for the movie so I think I’ll stick with FW for that aspect.

OK - Dumb question I know but I am struggling with a simple task.
I have a WY 4 Image box in a loop and I just want to style the image box border 1px solid #ED7A00
Tried with css etc and getting nowhere - obviously just doing it wrong.
Help please.

Hi david
To do this it’s is easier to place an webyep image item in a html box style the box and then place that in a loop.

You could add the style in the “Enable arbitrary attributes” box in the WebYep action panel. e.g.
style=“margin-bottom: 10px ; margin-left: 10px ; float:right ; border:solid #D7D7D7 5px”

Give the image box a class, and apply the border using a tag-only style.
div.myclass { border: 5px solid #d7d7d7; }

Walter,
I’m not sure its as simple as that with a WebYep image action, especially images in loops. Hence the image style applied in the actions palette.
Perhaps Max could chip in.

The way I normally do this is:
Draw an html box to the size I want then add my styling like borders margins drop shadows etc Then I click inside so I have a flashing curser and then insert my webyep image expand it to fill this outer html box
Then I copy the whole thing and place the lot as an in line then I can float it left or right etc. The reason I do it this way is not only does this allow me to use effect like drop shadows but I also get some sort of visual feedback about how things are panning out when it comes to floats.
You can use the arbitrary attributes area but this wont actually help much when you are trying to do things like visual effect.
This sort of problem is on my to do list… so soon (I hope) these sort of problems will be a distant memory

Thanks to you all for your suggestions.
I tried Max’s method first but what I should have told you is that the pictures in the loop are not all the same size and because of this the border doesn’t ‘cling’ (technical term) to the picture bounds.
David - your method was next and though I had tried this already I obviously didn’t have the syntax correct but using
style="border:1px solid #663300"
I got the result I was after - thanks.
Walter I had tried various permutations of applying a class but I just couldn’t get it to work in the loop and as the other guys have suggested I think that this instance is one where the normal rules don’t apply.
…But I may not have been doing it right!!!
Thanks again

One of the main problems this method, is the photo has to be used in WebYep otherwise all you see is a collapsed div with the styling.
By styling the webyep picture itself, the WepYep editor does not worry if the picture is not used, as the styling is only visible when there is picture content.

If you find yourself in a similar situation again, one thing to do is
look at the generated page using Xyle scope (http://culturedcode.com)
and see what rule(s) are applying to each element. Often you will
discover that what you thought was a really precise rule to attach to
an element is being overridden by another rule elsewhere.
Also, if you want a border to “shrink-wrap” to an image, you can try
applying the border to the image itself, or you can try floating its
container.
.someclass img {
border: 1px solid #333;
}
That rule attaches to an image inside an element with the classname
‘someclass’, and applies a border to the image itself.
The float trick will only work if the image is an inline. Unless told
otherwise, floated elements collapse to the width of their longest
child element.

Thanks for that Walter I will give that a go as well - “shrink-wrap”, yes better description than “cling”
