Hello K2 world!

I'm trying to write my first basic plugin for K2. I need to create a text field on items. But although the field appears just fine and the data renders on the frontend, when I go back to edit the item the data is gone, so it disappears on the frontend.

Is there a way I can save this information so I don't have to get users to put it in fresh each time?

Thanks!

Can you copy and paste the code here?

Hi Mohamed,

var $pluginNameHumanReadable = 'Video Background plugin';

function plgK2Video(&$subject, $params)

parent::__construct($subject, $params);
}

function onK2PrepareContent(&$item, &$params, $limitstart)
{
$mainframe = JFactory::getApplication();
//$item->text = 'It works! '.$item->text;
}

function onK2BeforeDisplay(&$item, &$params, $limitstart)
{
$mainframe = JFactory::getApplication();

// Get the output of the K2 plugin fields (the data entered by your site maintainers)
$plugins = new K2Parameter($item->plugins, '', $this->pluginName);

$videoURL = $plugins->get('videoURL');
$image = $plugins->get('image');

// Check if we have a value entered
if (empty($videoURL))
return;

// Output
$output = '
$image
<script>
$(function() {
var BV = new $.BigVideo({container: $("#video-wrap")});
BV.init();
BV.show("'.$videoURL.'", {ambient:true});
BV.getPlayer().on("durationchange",function(){

});
});

return $output;
