I've created a main VIDEOS page and set it up to a playlist on youtube.
Is there a way to have a different playlist per page:
VIDEOS
- Dogs
- Cats
- Horses
I don't know what the different short codes looks like for doing the above.
I keep getting my youtube user name in the author title of the video, but I'd rather have the originating author on the title. Any know how to fix this?
Also is there a way to put a search on the main page, then when videos pop up, it-overides what currently displayed?
Lastly on some playlist, I have duplicates. Is there a way to scrub these out per playlist?
Thanks,
Brian

Hi Brian,
Sure, you can just use a different shortcode on each page. So on the "dogs" page you would have something along the lines of
I assume you're displaying a playlist in this case? Unfortunately YouTube only gives us the username of the person who added the video to the playlist, not the actual author. If you're not displaying a playlist, then this sounds like something is misconfigured.
Yes sir. All the gory details on how to do this can be found in the documentation, but here's basically how you can do it. First you'll need to have TubePress generate the HTML for the search input box:
TubePress should already filter out duplicates. Which playlists are you seeing this with? I'd like to test locally.
Thanks!

Sure, you can just use a different shortcode on each page. So on the "dogs" page you would have something along the lines of
[tubepress mode="tag" tagValue="dogs"]and repeat for each of the other pages. Keep in mind this is a very simple example, and there are a ton of options you can configure via TubePress shortcodes. Let me know if that makes sense.

[tubepress output="searchInput"]Next, you'll simply have TubePress generate your "placeholder" gallery. This will automatically be overridden by search results after the user enters a query.
[tubepress output="searchResults" searchProvider="youtube"]
