The main black box is supposed to show a video, for which the ID is specified {tvbrightcoveid}. On the view template page it works correctly, and it is implemented similarly on the individual page for each video, that is all fine. However, when accessing the index template at the site root, it doesn’t want to show. Any ideas?

some template code would be nice 😊

the onlly thing what I know right now is that your field doesn’t parse.

<object id="myExperience" class="BrightcoveExperience">
  
  
  
  

  
  
    
  </pre><b>{tvbrightcoveid}</b><pre><code>" >
</object>

the code on, for example, http://www.artrocker.tv/tv/article/marvin-talks-hip-hop for the player to show there is almost identical, with just the size of the player different. so i know that it should work, just that it isn’t recognising the field name on the index page when called at the root.

http://artrocker.tv/main/index.php is the template’s path, and as you can see there, the video is showing fine!

How is {tvbrightcoveid} set? Just a regular custom field? Are there others? What version and build of EE are you on?

It’s a text field. {tvdescription} is also a custom field, however.

We’re using 1.6.3.

do you maybe have a typo in your custom field?

Try to update to 1.6.5 too btw 😊

A typo is a real possibility, of course. Make doubly sure to check against those 😊

No, there’s no typo - I’ve triple checked and checked again! I have managed to implement the same thing in to http://www.thisisfakediy.tv perfectly fine. It’s just this one site which seems to have an issue with it!

Lot 105,

Let’s try a reduction test.

in a blank template, can you please put the following code?

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="tv" limit="1" category="4" dynamic="off"}
the Id is: {tvbrightcoveid}
{/exp:weblog:entries

Do you get anything returned when you view in the screen?

Yup, I get the ID for the most recent entry.

Before I throw too much testing at you- is the site live?  This only seems to happen on the main page- correct?  So I’d like to see what happens if you put Greg’s debug code at the top or bottom of the page.  But I don’t want to suggest too much if you’re fully live.

It is live, unfortunately! I had to change the way the player was called as something entirely unrelated to EE wasn’t working - this is what’s happened as a consequence!

I did test that, however, and at the root the tag appears as a tag, yet at /main/ - the path to the template - the video ID shows fine.

So on http://www.artrocker.tv/main/ it parsed the tag, but on http://www.artrocker.tv/ it breaks.  And it’s just that custom field, or any of them?  And to be sure- front page is being handled differently now, so looking at it isn’t going to tell me much at the moment- correct? 

Running 1.6.3- and do you have any extensions installed?
