Custom poster image

Hey Jasmin;
Hope it’s OK I answer in English, my German is sub-par really ??

So in the function you have $thumb as a parameter, the filter should populate that with the default thumbnail URL, which includes the YouTube ID, so you could check $thumb to differentiate between the 3 videos you have on the site?

hope this helps,
frank

Hey Frank,

sure! Sorry, i thought german was ok. I have now solved the problem like this:

add_filter( ‘lyte_match_thumburl’, ‘lyte_my_own_thumburl’ );
function lyte_my_own_thumburl( $thumb ) {
// Get the queried object and sanitize it
$current_page = sanitize_post( $GLOBALS[‘wp_the_query’]->get_queried_object() );
// Get the page slug
$slug = $current_page->post_name;
if ( $slug == ‘site-name 1’ ) {
return ‘https://url.de/wp-content/uploads/thumbnail-1.jpg’;
}
if ( $slug == ‘site-name 2’ ) {
return ‘https://url.de/wp-content/uploads/thumbnail-2.jpg’;
}
if ( $slug == ‘site-name 3’ ) {
return ‘https://url.de/wp-content/uploads/thumbnail-3.jpg’;
}
}

Why don’t you improve the plugin so that you can insert an custom poster image directly in the shortcode f.e.?

Best,
Jasmin

No worries; I understand German (it’s relatively close to Dutch, my mother tongue) but I don’t know it well enough to actively use it, esp. in written form ??

re. the snippet; that should indeed work ??

re. adding custom thumbnails in shortcode; 2 reasons, one being a lack of time and the other that shortcodes are a bit a thing of the past, no? so should be a WordPress Block and that’s not something I have built yet. someday though … ??
