Hello bro.. Can you tell me how to put video in tab section. I tryed with Youtube video but it say error. Thanks
Mamee
@Anonymous
Go to you http://www.youtube.com/.
Select your video and get EMBED code for your video(set video width to 280px or less).It will like this:
<object width="280" height="275"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tWkpfvd_XI0&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tWkpfvd_XI0&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="280" height="275"></embed></object>
Now convert your youtube code from here:
http://www.blogcrowds.com/resources/parse_html.php
Now your code will look like this:
<object width="280" height="275"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tWkpfvd_XI0&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tWkpfvd_XI0&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="280" height="275"></embed></object>
Now replace, "ENTER-TAB1-CONTENT-HERE" with your converted youtube code.
Now save your template.

hipbtemplate.
nice template. Well one problem when i share my link on facebook its doesn't show pictures and details. i think its happened because of this line "You are Here: Home > 2010 > July > Pwning 4.0 On New Bootrom 3GS /3.1.2 SHSH Blobs". i want to remove this complete "your are here" line. tell me how to do this. Because social networks pic this line instead of picture and description.
hi im use this template but i have one question..since im using external comments system from intensedebate the popular post script you gave is not working can you give alternate script if you can and also how can i remove blue colour in topic which shows number of comments beside author name..
Hello Lasantha,
Bro, site has become very slow and unresponsive as the users of template are increasing...right side bar and bottom gadget bar, now both are taking much time to load. How can I host the template at some other place...really need guidance. Thanks!
This template is really great. But, can you tell us something more about feature slider, how to configure the width of it, and other parameters.. ???
Thnx.
