Show youtube tumbnail and video in Video Element theme | show youtube thumbnail

Video Element theme that created by Press75 team were great!. Special build for video blog, with an elegant theme layout. This theme provide us two way to show the video, we can fill some build in custom field by video URL (example, youtube vidoe url), or you can add the embedded code from youtube in the second build in custom fields. Never see this Video Element theme?, please see this sample.

First time get this job (modify this theme) so the wprobot could do automatics post and still got a great view, i got confuse. Their script is though to beat, and still make my head fuzzy. But at last, i can solve it. The clue is using their own weapon to attack it. What is this mean?, i mean, using their own build in custom fields to solve it via WP Robot.

The easiest way, is using wp robot ver 2.12. Why? Because wprobot ver 2.12 could add lots of custom fields easily, and lots of choice that could shown from youtube.php module.

Here is the clue :

1. To show video, use “_videoembed_manual” as the custom field key, and fill the value with youtube ebedded code inside youtube.php module
2. To show the tumbnails, use “image” as the custom field key, and fill the value with youtube thumbnail (via youtube.php module)
3. Only fill the video description inside wprobot youtube template, do not include the video.

If you using Wp Robot ver 3 in Video Element theme, it still possible!, but it will make lots of modif. Not as easy as when using wp robot ver 2.12 (b’cause i have succeed to use wprobot ver 3 in this theme)
