Hi!

I'm currently evaluating Hika Shop.
So far it looks quite promising that I finally found the Joomla Shop system which I need!

But for me it is essential that I can show YouTube videos in the Product listings - not just images.

So I use a content plugin for that where I write the tag in the product description.
Unfortunately it's not properly used. It just shows the tag.

But if I select the product where the same description is also shown the content plugin works fine.

I already tried the workaround trick from that one post where somebody had a similar problem with the category description 10 months ago, but this seem not to work for me.
I tried using this:

echo preg_replace('#<hr *id="system-readmore" */>.*#is','',JHTML::_('content.prepare',$this->element->product_description));
instead of this:
echo preg_replace('#<hr *id="system-readmore" */>.*#is','',$this->row->product_description);
in the Product list_img_desc

I'm using the ThaiCodeGear YouTube Player content plugin as it is from my knowledge the only one which is directly implementing the YouTube player into Joomla.
I need the direct player from YouTube and not just any Flash Player.
So RokBox is not working for me. Also I realized that it has the same problem.

This is how my code looks like in the product listing:
<!-- PRODUCT NAME -->
					<span class="hikashop_product_name">
													<a href="/index.php/hs-categories/product/1-anibal/category_pathway-12">
								Anibal							</a>
											</span>
				<!-- EO PRODUCT NAME -->
				</h2>

				<!-- PRODUCT DESCRIPTION -->
				<div class="hikashop_product_desc" style="text-align: center;">
					{tcg_youtube|view=FXf46N217Wg}				</div>
				<!-- EO PRODUCT DESCRIPTION -->
			</div>

... and here when the product is selected:
</div>
	<div id="hikashop_product_bottom_part" class="hikashop_product_bottom_part">

		<div id="hikashop_product_description_main" class="hikashop_product_description_main">
			<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/FXf46N217Wg" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="240" width="400"></iframe> 		</div>
		<span id="hikashop_product_url_main" class="hikashop_product_url_main">
					</span>
		<div id="hikashop_product_files_main" class="hikashop_product_files_main">
					</div>
	</div>

Does it has something to do that the plugin is creating an iframe ??? :huh:

Thanks for your help!

Best,
Jan.

:laugh: Yeeeaaa!

Actually I have not much idea about PHP programming but I found the solution!!!

The code line must be this:

echo preg_replace('#<hr *id="system-readmore" */>.*#is','',JHTML::_('content.prepare',$this->row->product_description));

IT'S WORKING !!! B)

Cheers,
Jan.
