How to Add a Second Multimedia Box

As you’ll see in the video, a previous client wanted to have a YouTube video
below the sidebars. The multimedia box can display images, widgets, custom
code, video and pretty much whatever else you want.

Thesis comes with one multimedia box, which in this case was already taken.

No problem. I embedded the video in a brand new multimedia box. Here’s how I did it…

1. Add code to custom_functions.php

   //VIDEO BOX UNDER SIDEBARS
   function bottom_video_box() {
    ?><div class="sidebar_box"> <div id="bottom_video_box"> <object width="410" height="366"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CamEXQ8x72c&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CamEXQ8x72c&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="410" height="366"></embed></object> </div></div><?php
   }
   add_action('thesis_hook_after_sidebars', 'bottom_video_box');

   Note: Don’t forget to replace the embed code with your own video code.

2. Add code to custom.css

   .sidebar_box {margin-bottom:2em; text-align:center;}

Based on Kristarella’s code provided at the Thesis support forums. Thanks Kristen!
