Use multi-select for custom videos on site

Ask the community

Goal:

Have a multi-select experience in which users can select fields that correspond to a database collection (ie Industry and Topic) and render the appropriate video(s). Our DB setup has a column for a youtube video link- ideally we can show multiple videos based on the selection.

What we’ve done:

Tried to configure UI elements based on these selection fields - this seems to work for individual fields in the database. However, we are looking for help with:

  • deduplicating elements in the selection field

  • rendering a youtube player (ideally multi-video) for users to play the content

Appreciate your help. Thanks!

Yisrael - Thank you. The third multiple group filter option is the most like what I am trying to build. Three follow-up questions:

  1. Does the “repeater” allow me to include videos instead of the current pictures?

  2. If there is not a native way to change it to video, am I able to change the code in order to accommodate a youtube URL? How do I connect the video / output to the database, and have that update via the checkboxes?

  3. When I click on the plants database in the example, it says the template is not able to be found. Can you please share the plants database or make it available?

Thank you

Open up the Multiple Groups Filter example in the Editor…

  • Replace the Image with a Video or VideoPlayer .

  • See the APIs for those elements to see how to set the video URL.

  • The Plants Database is in the example.

@yisrael-wix

When you say “replace” image with video - how do I do that within the repeater? When I delete the image and try to add the video, it doesn’t repeat?

Also, when I copy the example “Home” page over to my website, it doens’t carry over any of the code, or the plants database. Is that normal? Can i achieve wha the code is doing simply by linking the different items?

You will first need to learn the basics of Corvid and the Wix Editor. See Wix Editor: About Repeaters for a start.
