How to add duration and HD filters into video lists


Tech Support

Recommended Posts

Due to the complexity of AJAX filtering in the default theme, we won't explain this in details.  Using this advanced filtering requires deep understanding of default theme JS internals. This is just a working example that can be configured in default theme.

Step 1. In Website UI -> Pages run a search by list_videos to filter out only list_videos blocks. Open every list_videos block and activate the following parameters:

  • var_duration_from = duration_from
  • var_duration_to = duration_to
  • var_is_hd = is_hd

It is recommended to ignore list_videos block named Related Videos and Player Related Videos, as these anyway won't render filtering and changing their parameters may result to performance overload for some period of time.

 

Step 2. In Website UI -> Page components -> include_list_videos_block_common.tpl add the following code under <div class="headline"> after header display:

{{if $duration_from>0}}
	{{assign var="list_videos_custom_sort_parameters" value="`$list_videos_custom_sort_parameters`;duration_from:$duration_from"}}
{{/if}}
{{if $duration_to>0}}
	{{assign var="list_videos_custom_sort_parameters" value="`$list_videos_custom_sort_parameters`;duration_to:$duration_to"}}
{{/if}}
{{if $is_hd==1}}
	{{assign var="list_videos_custom_sort_parameters" value="`$list_videos_custom_sort_parameters`;is_hd:$is_hd"}}
{{/if}}

<div class="sort">
	<span class="icon type-hd"></span>
	<strong>{{if $is_hd==1}}HD{{else}}All{{/if}}</strong>
	<ul id="{{$block_uid}}_hd_list">
		{{if $is_hd==1}}
			<li>
				<a data-action="ajax" data-container-id="{{$block_uid}}_hd_list" data-block-id="{{$block_uid}}" data-parameters="{{if $list_videos_custom_sort_parameters!=''}}{{$list_videos_custom_sort_parameters}};{{/if}}sort_by:{{$sort_by}};is_hd:">All</a>
			</li>
		{{/if}}
		{{if $is_hd==0}}
			<li>
				<a data-action="ajax" data-container-id="{{$block_uid}}_hd_list" data-block-id="{{$block_uid}}" data-parameters="{{if $list_videos_custom_sort_parameters!=''}}{{$list_videos_custom_sort_parameters}};{{/if}}sort_by:{{$sort_by}};is_hd:1">HD</a>
			</li>
		{{/if}}
	</ul>
</div>

<div class="sort">
	<span class="icon type-duration"></span>
	<strong>{{if $duration_to==600}}0-10{{elseif $duration_to==1800}}10-30{{elseif $duration_from==1800}}30+{{else}}Duration{{/if}}</strong>
	<ul id="{{$block_uid}}_duration_list">
		{{if $duration_to>0 || $duration_from>0}}
			<li>
				<a data-action="ajax" data-container-id="{{$block_uid}}_duration_list" data-block-id="{{$block_uid}}" data-parameters="{{if $list_videos_custom_sort_parameters!=''}}{{$list_videos_custom_sort_parameters}};{{/if}}sort_by:{{$sort_by}};duration_from:0;duration_to:0">All</a>
			</li>
		{{/if}}
		{{if $duration_to!=600}}
			<li>
				<a data-action="ajax" data-container-id="{{$block_uid}}_duration_list" data-block-id="{{$block_uid}}" data-parameters="{{if $list_videos_custom_sort_parameters!=''}}{{$list_videos_custom_sort_parameters}};{{/if}}sort_by:{{$sort_by}};duration_from:0;duration_to:600">0-10</a>
			</li>
		{{/if}}
		{{if $duration_to!=1800}}
			<li>
				<a data-action="ajax" data-container-id="{{$block_uid}}_duration_list" data-block-id="{{$block_uid}}" data-parameters="{{if $list_videos_custom_sort_parameters!=''}}{{$list_videos_custom_sort_parameters}};{{/if}}sort_by:{{$sort_by}};duration_from:600;duration_to:1800">10-30</a>
			</li>
		{{/if}}
		{{if $duration_from!=1800}}
			<li>
				<a data-action="ajax" data-container-id="{{$block_uid}}_duration_list" data-block-id="{{$block_uid}}" data-parameters="{{if $list_videos_custom_sort_parameters!=''}}{{$list_videos_custom_sort_parameters}};{{/if}}sort_by:{{$sort_by}};duration_from:1800;duration_to:0">30+</a>
			</li>
		{{/if}}
	</ul>
</div>

 

Step 3. In Website UI -> Page components -> include_pagination_block_common.tpl add the following code in the template beginning:

{{if $duration_from>0}}
	{{assign var="pagination_custom_parameters" value="`$pagination_custom_parameters`;duration_from:$duration_from"}}
{{/if}}
{{if $duration_to>0}}
	{{assign var="pagination_custom_parameters" value="`$pagination_custom_parameters`;duration_to:$duration_to"}}
{{/if}}
{{if $is_hd==1}}
	{{assign var="pagination_custom_parameters" value="`$pagination_custom_parameters`;is_hd:$is_hd"}}
{{/if}}

but adding this section shows in all sites, index, new videos in all sites.

Right, it is expected that this filtering will appear everywhere.

and the 1 part only putting in 1 site.

Please read this step carefully, it says that you should activate those parameters in all list_videos blocks in all pages, except related videos.

Please could you clarify the exact insertion point of the step2 instruction copied below ie the existing line above and the line below where the new code is to be inserted?

Step 2. In Website UI -> Page components -> include_list_videos_block_common.tpl add the following code under <div class="headline"> after header display:

After this block on top:

{{if $total_count>0 && $list_videos_show_more_link!='' && $total_count>$items_per_page}}
	<a class="more" href="{{$list_videos_show_more_link}}">
		<span>{{$lang.common_list.link_more_items|replace:"%1%":$total_count}}</span>
	</a>
{{/if}}

And step 3, understand the additonal code goes before any existing code in this block - correct?

Yes, at the very beginning of pagination template.
