Show title, date and description of Vimeo videos

24 Aug 2019, 15:21

Hi,

I'm setting up a private X3 gallery, showing pictures and videos of my kids for the relatives.
Therefore I'd like to have a timeline with some Vimeo videos, too.

I set up a page and copy the code of the videos iframe into the content. So the videos get shown, but I'd be lucky, if there was a way to show the title, description and the date it was created automatically. Right now, I write down all these informations manually, but that's quite troublesome.

Is there maybe a better way?

Thanks a lot
Philip

Unfortunately, since the Vimeo videos are simply embedded into the page, X3 cannot automatically extract information from the videos and display outside the iframe. There is a Vimeo "API" that could allow such behavior via Javascript, but this would have to be created as a plugin ... I will add it to my list, and perhaps we can include it in a future X3 update.

For now, you will have to add any titles and descriptions for the video manually.
