This site uses a few less common features of Glow Blogs<\/p>\n

Display Posts Shortcode Plugin<\/h3>\n

Display Posts Shortcode | Glow Blog Help<\/a><\/p>\n

This allows us to show galleries of posts for example on the General Film page we use:
\n[display-posts image_size=\"thumbnail\" wrapper=\"div\" wrapper_class=\"display-film-listing-tn\" meta_key=\"_thumbnail_id\" category=\"general\"]<\/p>\n

The galleries uses the Featured Images of the posts as a visual table of contents.<\/p>\n

Jetpack – CSS module<\/h3>\n

CSS \u2013 Jetpack<\/a><\/p>\n

We us CSS to change the appearance of the galleries produced by the Display Posts Shortcode plugin<\/p>\n

for example <\/p>\n

.display-film-listing-tn .listing-item {\r\n\tfloat: left;\r\n\twidth: 160px;\r\n\tmargin: 6px;\r\n\theight: 200px;\r\n}<\/pre>\n
This gives us a tiling of the featured images.<\/p>\n
We also hide the featured image (which is used in the galleries) on the post pages. It seems a bit strange to have a page that shows an image of the movie but you have to scroll down to see the video.<\/p>\n
.single-post .entry-thumbnail {\r\n\tdisplay: none;\r\n}<\/pre>\n
So the posts all have a featured image, that is hidden on the post, but is used by the grids of videos on the Film Pages. See below for howto get a image of a YouTube video.<\/p>\n
Youtube URLs<\/h3>\n
We add ?rel=0 <\/em>to the youtube URLs used to embed the videos. This used to hide related videos at the end. It now limits the videos shown to ones on the same channel.<\/p>\n
Youtube images can be found at<\/p>\n
img.youtube.com\/vi\/sNj8mJq65i4<\/strong>\/0.jpg\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
where\u00a0sNj8mJq65i4 <\/strong>is the YouTube video id which is useful for the featured images.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
