Simple Hook Video

[e-Partner]

At http://www.Frontier-Village.com I would like to use Simple Hooks to insert a YouTube video <iframe> on the Index Page just below the slide show and above the posts; the slide show is showing Starbucks, Ross, Target, etc. Is there a way to do this suing Simple Hooks? I cannot seem to get the video into this location. All input requested and deeply appreciated.

This is where I want the video:

Try this in the location you want to display the video using Simple Hooks:

You can easily change the conditional tag:

<?php if (is_home() ) { ?>
<div><iframe> youtube video embed code</iframe></div>
<?php } ?>

Where is that nice solution going to be inserted in the Simple Hooks framework?

You'll need to test it to see where it outputs.

Try here.

genesis_before_content Hook

This hook executes immediately before the content column (outside the #content div).

Thanks...although I have tested the locations repeatedly, I'll give the new code a whirl in your suggested location and let you know. 🙂

Here is where the view of the video in the genesis_before_content Hook location. http://www.Frontier-Villge.com.

I have also inserted the code into the genesis_before_content Hook, which logically sends it to the bottom.

What theme are you using?

Platinum Child Theme running on the Genesis Framework.

Just removed the YouTube <iframe> from the top and you will see I have left it at the bottom until I figure this monster out.  I might have to hard core it into the Editor, but don't really like to do that.

When i tested this, it worked. You have alot of things going on your homepage. You could use a static page as your homepage and do that yes.

Just so I am clear, when you tested the following in the "genesis_before_content Hook", with the YouTube <iframe> inserted, you found it successful?

<?php if (is_home() ) { ?>
<div><iframe> youtube video embed code</iframe></div>
<?php } ?>

Also are you checking the boxes below the code that reference the pHp and Hook generation?

Thanks!

Tried it again and no go...the insertion of the video appears above the Digital Content Gallery slideshow.

Here's my insertion:

<?php if (is_home() ) { ?><div><iframe width="599" height="337" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/HPrHdngEpRw?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div><?php } ?>

Puzzling...
