Don't know where to put this: I need a wordpress PHP guru to help me send some shoes to the Pres.

I'm almost done with my site

http://comfortableshoesforobama.org/

But I am having trouble embedding this video on the header.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA9KC8SMu3o&feature=player_embedded

The issue is that it is a custom theme that takes an image from a post and puts it on the homepage header.
I want to get it to accept a video instead. Here is the code to display the image. Any suggestions how to change it to show the embedded youtube video instead?

# Displays post image attachment (sizes: thumbnail, medium, full)
function dp_attachment_image($postid=0, $size='thumbnail', $attributes='') {
if ($postid<1) $postid = get_the_ID();
if ($images = get_children(array(
'post_parent' => $postid,
'post_type' => 'attachment',
'numberposts' => 1,
'post_mime_type' => 'image',)))
foreach($images as $image) {
$attachment=wp_get_attachment_image_src($image->ID, $size);
?><img src="<?php echo $attachment<0>; ?>" <?php echo $attributes; ?> /><?php
}



If you don't have the time is there a forum that you would recommend me to ask?

Thanks in advance.

1. I use a plugin that makes it very easy to embed videos.

2. I think that's for a slideshow of still images, not for a video.

You might try this:

3. Just replace all of that code with the YouTube embed code for that video

<iframe title="YouTube video player"
width="640" height="390"
src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/SA9KC8SMu3o"
frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

4. If you want it to be able to grab videos inside posts you need to do something entirely different

You'd need to either put the YouTube video id in a special field and grab that or create a custom post type.

5. Hmm I tried replacing it and it broke the site for some reason.

Thanks though.
