Good evening we hope you are well.
We have bought your template Telly and we love it! excellent layout.
We are trying to embed a plugin from elfsight which displays youtube channel videos. The issue is that the code stays the same when you change CMS pages and we would like to have a different embedded code to display different playlists.
Thanks so much for picking up Telly! So glad you like it
I’m curious, why are you using a plugin instead of the CMS setup that you get with Telly?
Can you share examples of the embed code for the various playlists? Normally you would put the embed code in a custom code block, then use the CMS to change the ID inside the embed.
The template is great. I am using the CMS to create all the necessary CMS pages. What i am trying to do is display a different youtube playlist in every page. For example: I would like to display different Youtube playlists for Chess Tournaments, one being Junior Chess and the other Senior Chess. These are being displayed at their own pages respectively. How can i have a different embedded code on a different CMS pages?
Ok, so you can either add the embed code to the CMS template using an embed component and create a plain text field in your CMS Collection for each unique identifier to swap out in the component (Like in this example)…
Quick question. I am trying to adjust the mobile view and looks like the entire site has a lot of space left and right and you can move the page around please see link below. Any suggestion ?
I hope you are well.
I have one last issue to solve out before the website goes live. For some reason on the mobile, the menu doesnt appear completely when you scroll down and we cannot see all the categories.
Yeah, that’s possible - but not with just one widget. The embed code stays the same because it’s tied to the specific widget you created on Elfsight, and each widget has fixed settings like which playlist or channel to show.
If you want different playlists across CMS pages, the easiest way is to create a separate YouTube Gallery widget for each playlist you want to display. Each will come with its own embed code, so you can drop them into the right CMS item via an embed field or similar.
Other workaround options would involve dynamically changing the playlist ID via JavaScript, but that’s a bit more complex and Elfsight widgets aren’t really built for that kind of dynamic source swapping.
