Workarea Product Videos

Product Videos plugin for the Workarea platform. Allows an admin user to add videos to any product!

Video embed support

This plugin supports embed codes from Vimeo and Youtube. Adding support for other video hosts would require customization of the video_embed_parser service. We do not host video content, and therefor do not offer an option to upload a video via the admin. All videos must use an embed code.

Display options

Out of the box we provide 3 options for displaying product videos on the storefront: embedded, link, and thumbnail.

Embedded

Embeds an iframe below the product description.

Dialog

Adds a link below the product description, on click the video will open in a dialog.

Thumbnail

Embeds a thumbnail image in the product alt-image array, thumbnail has a play icon svg overlayed, this is trivial to customize. When the thumbnail is clicked the video will open in a dialog Thumbnail image can be selected in the admin via an asset picker. If no thumbnail image is selected the first product image will be used as a fallback.

Caveat: Since the thumbnail image is appended to the alt image array, the product must have more than 1 image for the video to display. This could easily be changed in implementation, but is not within the scope of this plugin.
