Video Battle

The module helps you to increase members' activity on your site by adding emulative spirit. Your users will be able to challenge each other on a battle. The other members of the community will be able to vote for challenger or rival. To make it more interesting module adds two block on site's home page 'The most recent photo battles' and 'Top Battlers' (See Image 1). It will notify your users about all new battles and the best battlers on the site.
 
User can easily challenge someone by clicking 'Video Challenge' from actions popup which appears when he moves his mouse over the profile thumbnail (See Image 2). Also it can be done from profile page, 'Video Challenge' button in Actions block (See Image 3).
 
Challenge (Accept) form consists of 3 parts: Preview, Video chooser and Settings.

1. Preview displays the final layout if the battle (See Image 4.1).


2. Video Chooser allows you to choose the video previously uploaded in the 'Video Battle' category. Also you may upload new one directly on challenge page (See Image 4.2). 


3. Settings. You may add title for your video and some other settings for the battle. Accept form allows to set only video title in this area.

When the battle was created, accepted or declined an interested member of the battle would be notified via email. Admin can manage email templates which are used to create messages via admin panel -> settings -> email templates.
 
Video Battles home page has two blocks 'The most recent video battles' and 'Top Battlers' (See Image 5). It's the same as on site's home page, but you would be able to control the number of items in both blocks via Dolphin admin panel -> Modules -> Video Battles separately for site's home page and for 'Video Battles' home page (See Image 8).
 
My (Profile) video battles pages allow to view active battles and battle history. On my video battles page you may see also pending battles and battle requests (See Image 6).

1. Pending battles is a list of battles where you challenged somebody and wait for the response.


2. Battle requests is a list of battles where you were challenged and you need accept or cancel the battle.

On battle view page you may see the battle's videos with short info about battlers and also comment section where all members would be able to leave their opinions (See Image 7).
Let’s take a look about Video Battle snippet (See Image 9). You may see battle video thumbnail, short battlers' info and battle info with statistics. In the battler info you may see 'Score' which shows wins and defeats of the battler. Also you may challenge battlers here. In the battle info you may see battle category, duration, number of comments, views and the exact date of the battle end.
