How to move controlbar elements within blocks?

I'm building my custom skin with JW7 and I'd like to move volume control from jw-controlbar-right-group into jw-controlbar-left-group. How can I achieve that?

I looked at customisation docs, questions on here, but didn't find anything similar. The only thing that crosses my mind at the moment is absolutely positioning the item or moving it around with jQuery. It would be great to have some control over HTML markup to display the items required by just adding classes to them.

Hi, Joe.

My name is Alex and I am one of the Support Engineers at JW Player. I will be more than happy to assist you with your questions.

While we provide the CSS classes for our skins to developers in order to customize them, the actual customization is outside of the scope of support. Some easier things, such as hiding certain buttons, we can assist with but we don’t have any documentation or examples of moving items in the actual control bar around.

You may want to take advantage of the jwplayer tag on StackOverflow to ask other developers if they have had any success with moving control bar elements around.

Please let me know if you need any more help or have any other questions.

Thank you!

Hi Alex,

thanks for your reply. I had a good browse through StackOverflow, but it doesn't seem that anyone else faced a similar issue.

The ideal scenario would be to initialise only the required controls and allocate them to a particular container (left/centre/right).

Hi, Joe.

Actually, I have good news – I recently saw an example of someone moving the volume control to the left side and reproduced it here: http://qa.jwplayer.com/~abussey/demos/general/move-controls.html

You may want to move it around in the left group, but this should at least point you in the right direction.

Please let me know if you need any more help or have any other questions.

Thank you!
