Video field refactor questions #139

Open Serhioromano opened 5 years ago

Serhioromano commented 5 years ago

Video field may accept videos 3 ways as a link, as upload and as embed HTML.

Does it make sense to have all that in one field of it is better to break those? For instance, embed may work with simple textarea and allow HTML. Link may work with a text field and custom output template. Even upload may work with upload field and custom output template.

Ther is obviously some redundancy that may overwhelm users.

What would be the best approach?

I think it may depend from users to users, the way they design their website, if you have a website where you want the users to link, as upload and as embed HTML, then that's a fit there.

But there also may be cases where people want 1 of those 3, so in that case it may good to have it break separately.

If the user wants all of the types of video posting, he can simply add a few fields to the article. But every field will be simple and not as complex as the current field.

I think yes but sometimes to be simple is not the only solution, I mean video is now important for seo, attracts customers, ect. Maybe using text area, upload for video could be a bit confusing for new cobalt user no?
