Thought this might be useful. A customer on Active Module asked how to setup UVG4 to the Active Social Journals....the docs are pretty good but you need to know one little trick about Active Social Journals.
Thought this screencast might be helpful for people trying to figure out how to make it all work.

Has anyone figured out a way to filter videos within a video tab in an Active Social Groups?
I've created the Profile Integration Tab, and have videos displaying within an AS group but I want to filter for a category associated to a group, not to the ASUID.
Anyone figured this out yet? |

Hello,
I was also looking for this solution. I think to accomplish this there need to be certain enhancement required.
Right now UVG add videos on 2 things, one is the User who uploaded the video and the second thing is category. For a limited number of Groups you can treat group as a category and upload and display videos. But this is not a good approach if you have many different groups.
For this change this i think there must a third (custom) field. This field will depend on the admin preferences. If admin set it to groupid then UVG associate that GroupID with the video.
I think to make UVG more flexible in future with other products this needs to done. For Example: If someone has a shopping cart and a user want to associate a video with his particular product then he can simply associate the productID with the video. Same is the case for events (Invenmanager.com's popular event module). And same is the case for Groups (GroupID) and so on. By this way i think we can use UVG videos for every product. |

So i think the proposed table structure will be
VideoId UserID CategoryID CustomFieldName CustomFieldID
1 1 1 GroupID 1
2 1 1 ProductID 1
3 1 1 or 2 EventID 1
So if CustomFieldName is considered as unique then we can make UVG work with all products. You can see that CustomID is same for all products like 1st group, 1st Event and 1st Product but Custom FieldName is different.
So all videos are uploaded to UVG but yet they can easily be filtered.
This is just my suggestion. It all depends on the developer as he has designed this product and knows better than me abot this product.
Thanks. |

Above table structure is not so clear when after posting. So trying to again post it for better visualization
VideoId____UserID____CategoryID____CustomFieldName____CustomFieldID
1___________1__________1_____________GroupID______________1
2___________1__________1____________ProductID_____________1
3___________1________1 or 2_________EventID_______________1 |

I think something that considers independence but connections between the content is a more flexible solution here. For example, someone might post a video on it's own. Another member may want to connect that video to their group. Other members may want to connect the same video to other groups as well.
(Think Facebook Tagging)
So if we didn't touch the UVG tables at all...but added a UVG_2_ActiveSocialGroup_Xref table which connected the two entities along with a module which "connects" them (a list of my groups that I can connect to a video and another filtered view of video based on a passed in ID list) you would have it. |

| Yes I think that's a better idea but specific to ActiveSocial. |

| in the next minor upgrade of UVG, you can manually insert a record in hosting settings table to change the default journal security. |

I may forget to update this post, so I just write a simple instruction at this time.
You need to manually insert a record in HostSettings table, settingkey = 0_UVGJournalSecurity, if you use it in sub portals, you may need to use a different portal id.
setting value = the journal security, which defaults to 2.
The enhancement is actually done, contact me by email if you want to get it now.
thanks. |

If I understand what you need, this is an answer (guess)
In the AS profileviewtabs.config file, add a tab:
<!-- TAB 05 for VIDEOS -->
<tab controlKey="videos" text="My Videos" isPostBack="true" hidden="false" permissions="" loadmethod="0">
<content>
<![CDATA[<active:moduleloader id="ctlVideos" TID="221" MID="916" runat="server" />]]>
</content>
</tab>
Then create a normal DNN tab and add a UVG list module to the page (see the tabid and module ID numbers above) change those to your actual tab and module numbers:
In the UVG list module, filter it by the string: asuid
In other words, in the 'other options' settings, select 'by querystring' and then in the UserKey put in 'asuid'
Basically what I did was pass the new '221' tab into the AS profileviewtab so that it gets filtered by the ASUID number, which then loads the videos for the profile number that gets opened.
Clear as mud?

Daniel,
I really appreciate you taking the time to post the code, however, I was asking about UVG integration with the AS journal and not AS Profile tabs.
The UVG is suppose to embed the video in AS Journal itself. Your method is useful to show the users video on their profile tabs.
Again, thank you very much for your time. |
