Use Of Video In Product View

[Guest gsclientarea]

We're thinking of using cubecart to produce a client DVD sales website. Does anyone know if it is possible to add video to the product page? This is so people can preview a video clip to encourage buying.

Thanks

Give this a try. Add this to your product description. You have to add it while looking at it in source view mode.

<object width="320" height="286" id="MediaPlayer" classid="CLSID:22D6f312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" standby="Loading Windows Media Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject" codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,4,7,1112">

<param name="filename" value="http://www.yourvideourlhere"/>

<param name="Showcontrols" value="True"/>

<param name="autoStart" value="True"/> <embed width="320" height="240" type="application/x-mplayer2" src="yourvideourlhere" name="MediaPlayer"></embed> </object>

I use it on one of my cube cart sites & it works for me.

I've also seen a mod over at cubecartforums.org that allows you to add additional files to a product detail page - i see no reason why the additional file could not be a video file... Would that work?

Else if you are after a video INSTEAD of a plain image for more info - I'm sure you could request this from the modders at cubecartforum.org and someone would be willing to take the case...
