We want to include videos in our app, but we would rather have a small link instead of the SAB full-width Video widget so readers are not overly interrupted while reading the text.
Does anyone know how to enter a link in standard format? Can an shorter Alias be used so the link appears as just a few words?
Thanks for any suggestions, Roger Green
The easiest way to insert links is to use Markdown format like so:
[title](https://www.example.com)
.
The app will then render it like this: title .
Hope that helps.
For videos, I think it should be a user setting. Some users might want:
Show the video thumbnail
Show just the title
Do not display at all (for distraction free reading)
I have created this feature request:
Some users might find the videos to be distracting while trying to read the Bible. Have a setting for the user to chose:
Show videos as preview thumbnail
Show videos as just the title
Do not show videos
We should allow the App Builder to define the default value for this user setting when the app is installed.
There could be a button to switch this setting in the app bar, in the navigation drawer, or the settings page depending how often the user might want to switch between these settings.…
Go over and vote on this request and give your feedback on where the in the interface it should be changable: appbar, navigation drawer, or settings.
