I’m totally new, I’ve watched all the videos and read around the forum, but can’t quite figure out how to do what I’m trying to do.
In a nutshell, I need a way to tag videos from Youtube, then I need to be able to run searches or filtering against those tags.
For example, each video would have 10-50 custom tags. These are for musician videos, so the tags might be “drums”, “vocals”, “Metallica”, etc. Then if I wanted to find “drum” videos that where also tagged with “Metallica” I could do that.
See that he has the ability to select “Beginner”, “Intermediate”, etc, and then the page automatically updates. This is similar to what I’m trying to do.
I’ve setup mine thru the data tab just like they have it in the widget. But, I can’t figure out how to manually add tags to a video. There’s no where to add the tags to a video. I’m stumped.
Ok, I have a text input for the title of the video. But, what about the tags? Maybe have a list of available tags with checkboxes? But how do I do multiple checkboxes? Is there a way I can dynamically fetch the available tags from Things and then have them create a list of checkboxes?
Ok, some progress made. But all the tags are showing up on each button, rather than one tag per button. I can’t get the checkboxes to work at all, as there doesn’t seem to be an option for dynamic content.
Ok, awesome! I got the admin page setup where I can add videos and it adds the video data, success! Thanks so much for your help @NigelG and @fayewatson!
Now I’m having trouble figuring out how to run a search against the tags and/or fields in my videos and then show only the relevant videos in my repeating group. Any thoughts?
Awesome! I’m not sure on specifics of your data setup but since each Video has a ‘List of Tags’ your repeating group could do a search for videos, and then in the ‘filtered’ part, you could create an advanced constraint that said ‘This Video’s Tags ‘contains list’ [selectedtags]’. [selected tags is the equivalent to what you named your selected list of tags, similar to the ‘selected_fruit’ setup]
Here is a repeating group I added below Nigel’s forum example.
In the forum multiselect checkbox example, we’re able to select a list of fruits – so I created a new data type called Grocery Store (each ‘Grocery Store’ has two fields, ‘Name’ of the store, and ‘Fruits’ (a list of fruits available at the store). Then once you select checkboxes, the repeating group will filter based upon which checkboxes are selected (if a store doesn’t have that ‘fruit’ in its ‘List of Fruits’ then it will not be shown in the results)
