Embedding Audio and Video Post example articles

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

I have installed the J3.1.1 Quickstart for the Moments template. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to pull off the effect that occurs on the homepage with the Embedding Audio and Video Post articles. I understand how to attach a still picture to an article, but how do you do the video/audio sound cloud? I have searched the site and documents for hours.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Glen

So sorry for the delay in adding this to the docs:

- Featured images are created by simply using the standard Joomla or K2 methods for attaching an image to an item.

- To feature a video or sound cloud object in Joomla simply use the embed code from your provider in the introtext for your item and the template will do the rest.

- To feature a video or sound cloud object in a K2 item all you need to do is assign it to the K2 media tab and the Zenkit template will position the video in the featured position.

I'am sorry, I do not understand. In what form this embed code to put in the Joomla? I tried to put it in that form: http: //youtu.be/ cZLYvI-I0Ig (I added spaces now deliberately) and it did not work, and when I put it as an iframe the editor cuts that from html.

Ok. Now I have iframe, but still video is not placed above the title, like with images, but between the title and the text...

I am using Sidewinder template. I have installed quickstart version, to see how it is made, but there is no html code in the item called Video Post. There is video on homepage on the top of brick with this post. I put the iframe to my post (thank you Paulus) in the introtext, but it looks different than other posts, with static images in the introtext.
