Scrollytelling::VideoControls

Replace the built-in Pageflow video controls with the Scrollytelling version. Our version is much more minimal.

Sadly the images are not retina and some control colors are hard coded. We left it like that, to deviate from Pageflow as less as possible. We hope we will be able to improve this in a new version.

This plugin just overrides some CSS that is present in a default Pageflow install. It's not guaranteed to work at all. This is why the version check for this gem is a little more strict than usual. If you can install this gem, then it will work, provided you followed the normal Pageflow installation instructions.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile, after pageflow:

gem 'scrollytelling-video_controls'

Bundle the plugin with your application by typing this on the command line:

$ bundle

Add it to the asset pipeline:

# Optionally, change the default highlight color.
$scrollytelling-video_controls-background-color: #b2cecf !default;

# app/assets/stylesheets/pageflow/application.css.scss
@import "scrollytelling/video_controls";

Note that you're adding it to the application stylesheet and not one of your theme stylesheets. The Pageflow video controls are included in the application stylesheet, which comes after your themes.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
