Picking up from this question: Get img thumbnails from Vimeo?
I'm trying to create a page with several vimeo videos on it.
I want to have the videos in the HTML look like this:
<div id='12345678' class='vimeo'></div>
<div id='23423423' class='vimeo'></div>
And then I want the jQuery to populate the divs
with an img
where the src
is the thumbnail from vimeo, and an a
which points to the video, and whose text is the title of the video. That is, it should end up like this:
<div id='12345678' class='vimeo'>
<a href='https://vimeo.com/12345678'>
<img src='url-to-thumbnail.jpg' />
Video Title
</a>
</div>
(Indentation added for clarity)
This is my starting point from that other question:
<script type="text/javascript">
$.ajax({
type:'GET',
url: 'http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/' + video_id + '.json',
jsonp: 'callback',
dataType: 'jsonp',
success: function(data){
var thumbnail_src = data[0].thumbnail_large;
$('#thumb_wrapper').append('<img src="' + thumbnail_src + '"/>');
}
});
</script>
<div id="thumb_wrapper"></div>
Try this:-
Assuming the div with id already exists.
success: function(data){
$('<a/>',{
href:data[0].url,
text:data[0].title }).append(
$('<img/>' ,{
src:data[0].thumbnail_large
})
)
.appendTo('#'+data[0].id)
}
If the div with id doesnot exist:-
success: function(data){
$('<a/>',{
href:data[0].url,
text:data[0].title })
.append(
$('<img/>' ,{
src:data[0].thumbnail_large
})
).appendTo($('<div/>',{
id:data[0].id,
class:'vimeo'
}))
.appendTo('.someContainer');
}
