Adding Featured Video to Minimum Homepage

[micwoods]

Does anyone have a code snippet to share that I could add a video area on the homepage of the Minimum 2.0 theme in place of the Featured Image? I want to have a video that is the same 1600x600 size of that image. Would even be nice if it was a widget. Not sure.

Thanks!

You can pretty much follow Brian's add a widget tutorial here to register the widget: http://www.briangardner.com/welcome-text-widget/

You'll have to do something like this to change the function in functions.php to include it:

/** Add the featured image section */
add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'minimum_featured_image' );
function minimum_featured_image() {
	if ( is_home() ) {
		   genesis_widget_area( 'welcome-text', array(
                       'before' => '<div class="welcome-text widget-area">',
                    ) );
	}
	elseif ( is_singular( array( 'post', 'page' ) ) && has_post_thumbnail() ){
		echo '<div id="featured-image">';
		echo get_the_post_thumbnail($thumbnail->ID, 'header');
		echo '</div>';
	}
}

Plus whatever css you need.

Note that code didn't paste well so pay attention to the function already in your file.
