@broberg Hi, great module it works well for me. however… After seeing this I though OH MAYBE I WANT A VIDEO TO PLAY WHEN I CLICK ON SOMETHING, so i tried to make a module for it and then it just wouldn’t work. So i sort of fiddled with this one to have 1 hardcoded “headline” which when clicked on, opened an iframe element and played the latest video from a youtube playlist as shown below.
//codechange
var title = document.createElement("div");
title.className = "bright small regular fed";
title.innerHTML = "Zero Punctuation Review";
title.addEventListener("click", () => showdesc(this)); //Show description on click
wrapper.appendChild(title);
//below is the function to show description and hide title
function showdesc(thisdesc) {
thisdesc.intpause(); //clear interval
title.style.display="none";
/* var readTimer = setTimeout(function() {hidedesc(thisdesc)}, thisdesc.config.readInterval); //sets timeout for the description
description = document.createElement("div");
description.className = "infoCenter";
description.innerHTML = thisdesc.newsItems[thisdesc.activeItem].description;
description.addEventListener("click", () => hidedesc(thisdesc)); //Hide description on click
description.addEventListener("click", () => clearTimeout(readTimer)); //Stop timer when clicked so the next title doesn't reload again.
*/
description = document.createElement ("iframe");
description.className = "vid";
description.src = 'https://www.youtube.com/embed/htm+lastest?list=PLAbMhAYRuCUhawCEV2oXZGrienoKTN16X&autoplay=1';
description.autoplay = true;
description.addEventListener("click", () => hidedesc(thisdesc)); //Hide description on click
description.addEventListener("click", () => clearTimeout(readTimer)); //Stop timer when clicked so the next title doesn't reload again.
// wr.appendChild(video);
wrapper.appendChild(description);
};
//and to close the description on click and get next title
function hidedesc(thisdesc) {
thisdesc.activeItem++;
thisdesc.intresume(); //resume the interval
description.style.display="none";
};
//codechange end
Just a Suggestion in case you wanted in the future to incorporate playing the news release video as an option for your module. Sorry for playing with it!
