Full nodes on Home Page / Video Thumbnails
Posted July 1st, 2008 by typehost
Any suggestions for displaying full nodes on the Drigg front page? For example, we want the full embedded video on the home page for every post rather than linking to the second page. I have changed the teaser length to unlimited in "post settings" but haven't noticed any change.
Also, for video thumbnails, it seems only youtube actually gives a thumbnail of the video. Other sites display a "google" or "yahoo" logo, veoh box or similar. For non-supported sites, no thumbnail at all. Maybe the web snapper addition would solve this, but usually they are just giving a screenshot of the url home page (like pligg with mr-wong).
Drigg settings
You can change the length of the teaser post for Drigg type content under the drigg setting. Just change it to a very high number and then mess with the drigg node css file to specify what is displayed when viewing in teaser mode. That should fix the problem.
Other than that, do you have all the boxes checked to allow for the different video types under driggs settings? I have no problem getting the thumbnails to display for the supported site.
