Hi thanks for this great application.

I have installed it and its all working. But I find the default players quite basic. So I have purchased a custom skin (.swf skin) for the jw player. My problem is that I don't know how to install the skin with videoflow. There are some tutorials that shows you how (see www.nci.tafensw.edu.au/_video/jwplayer-i...entskins-readme.html and www.longtailvideo.com/AddOns/implementing_skins.html ).

I need to add a variable in the player's embeded code to make it work but where is the player's embeded code in in videoflow within joomla?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Pat,
The current version doesn't have support for skins built in, but it can be added. To do so, you would have to search for wherever the embed code appears (it's in many places) and add the skin variable, which is quite cumbersome.
But may be we can cheat by piggybacking on the logo variable. I haven't tested this (I'm on the road) but I don't see why it shouldn't work.
So, open the file "com_videoflow/videoflow.php". Near the top, there should be a line that reads as follows:


Change it to:


Of course, you should add your skin file to the player directory.
If it doesn't work, let me know so that I can indicate to you all the proper places to add the skin variable, the cumbersome way.

Thanks so much Fideri! You have saved me hours of search and hardwork. This little code you gave me worked fantastically.

I am still interested in knowing all the other places to add skin variables. I am also interested in knowing how to change the positions of the info boxes e.g. remote, playlits, select etc... I am thinking that it is in the .css file.

Thanks again a million times for your help.
