== Overview ==

sfIconPlugin is a Symfony plugin. You can use it to associate one or more video (with thumbnail automatically created) to any persistent object present in your model.

== Requirements ==

The following plugin is required:

 * [wiki:sfThumbnailPlugin]

The following plugins are optional:

 * [wiki:sfLightboxPlugin]
 * [wiki:sfModalBoxPlugin]
 * [wiki:sfIconPlugin]

The idea for future version is to remove these dependencies and build lighter versions

== Installation ==

You can install sfVideoGalleryPlugin via PEAR (recommended) package manager or manually.

=== PEAR installation ===

 1. The easiest way to install sfVideoGalleryPlugin is to use PEAR package manager.

{{{
$ symfony plugin-install http://plugins.symfony-project.com/sfVideoGalleryPlugin
}}}

 Alternatively, if you don't have PEAR installed, you can download the latest package attached to this plugin's wiki page and extract it under your project's `plugins/` directory. You will also have to copy the contents of the `myproject/plugins/sfIconPlugin/web/` directory into a `myproject/web/sfIconPlugin/` directory.

 2. Now clear the cache with symfony clear-cache command to enable the autoloading to find the new classes:

{{{
$ symfony cc
}}}

 3. Rebuild the database and the model

{{{
$ symfony propel-build-all
}}}

== Configuration ==

The following steps are needed. (To be improved and customizable)

  1. Change the permission of the video and thumbnails directories

{{{
$ chmod 777 plugins/sfVideoGalleryPlugin/web
$ chmod 777 plugins/sfVideoGalleryPlugin/web/thumbnails
}}}

== Usage (Frontend) ==

 1. Put the use_helper in your template

{{{
<?php use_helper('sfVideoGallery') ?>
}}}

}}}
 
{{{
<?php echo video_thumbnail_tag('entity',$entity->getId(),$html_options=array()) ?>
}}}

{{{
<?php echo video_lightbox_slideshow('entity',$entity->getId(),$options=array()) ?> 
}}}

== Usage (Backend) ==
