Hello everyone!



Our “Video manager” add-on is now compatible with CS-Cart Pro 3.0.1 and 3.0.2 versions.



Video can be played in a block or on product details page. It's a useful add-on for those who would like to demonstrate products better or give video instructions/tips.



Best regards, Alt-team

This looks very nice. I wonder how this works for stores that have thousands of products. How can you keep overview which video is added to what product?

Can the youtube url's be added to the product page in admin panel as well?

Is there an easy way to add a large number of video's? (while keeping overview)

Is vimeo supported?

Hello P-Pharma and thank you for your questions!

This looks very nice. I wonder how this works for stores that have thousands of products. How can you keep overview which video is added to what product?[/quote]

It is possible to see which video is added to what product only on product editing page. The add-on works as follows: videos are added to a separate admin page. After that, it's possible to choose the necessary video from the select box on product editing page (Video manager tab). Unfortunately there is not a single page to overview both videos and products where videos are added.


[quote]Can the youtube url's be added to the product page in admin panel as well?[/quote]

It is possible to embed code from Youtube and display youtube videos on product details pages or in blocks.


[quote]Is there an easy way to add a large number of video's? (while keeping overview)[/quote]

Unfortunately no, each video is added separately. We can offer video import only within our custom development service.

[/quote] We are planning to add this in the next add-on version (in the nearest future).

Does this addon allow us to place a latest videos block in a sidebar?

7

Dear P-Pharma, thank you for your question!



It is possible to place latest videos in a side block manually It means it will be necessary to create a block with video content and add videos that you need into this block. It is possible to specify the size in pixels for your .flv files so that they could fit the side block.



Best regards, Alt-team

Thanks. I have requested a quote from your company to create a sidebar block that automatically populates.

This is a great addon, but it has room for improvement. Please consider to add the following:

  • add a global setting to define centering. Currently its left aligned, which looks strange in most of my stores.
  • add a global setting to define the size of the video. Currently If you add multiple videos, you get different sizes.
  • allow us to just enter the youtube url, instead of the embed code.

Dear P-Pharma!



Thank you for your recommendations, we've noted them down. We will think over adding these features.



Best regards, Alt-team

Hello friends!



We are glad to announce that our Video manager add-on is now compatible with CS-Cart 4.



The price is still $59.



Please read more details about this add-on here [url=“http://www.alt-team.com/cs-cart-video-manager-add-on.html”]http://www.alt-team.com/cs-cart-video-manager-add-on.html[/url]

This addon is not yet compatible with the responsive function of 4.2.2. If you add a 'latest video' block then the video block will not be responsive, but will be of one size causing a large scroll bar. Please fix this.

14

I made my video player responsive and added a topic about it last week:

Embedding Responsive/fluid Video - Store Design & Templates - CS-Cart Community Forums

It's only a little CSS change.

15

Dear P-Pharma,



Thanks for the notice.



We will fix it as soon as possible. As it is ready, we will post the news here.



Best regards, Alt-team.

Using this add-on Video Manager you have an ability to add video on your website directly avoiding the uploading it on youtube first.

Also, it is more convenient to manage video files on your online store and set such parameters as width, height and auto play for the video player with the help of Video Manager add-on.



Kind regards, Alt-team.

Please let me know when it is ready. I also sent you a email yesterday

Thanks

Except by embedding your own video you loose all the great SEO benefits from YouTube (owned by Google). You can easily specify size in the iframe code.
