Video Player

Introduction​

The Video Player module in Builderius is a powerful and interactive tool that allows you to effortlessly add videos to your website or application. By using the Video module, you can create custom video players with ease, making your content more engaging and dynamic.

The Video Player module introduces a custom <builderius-video-player> tag to the canvas. This tag is a custom made web component to hold all of the elements of this elegant video player to use within your Builderius designs. With this module, you can seamlessly integrate videos from various providers and sources into your templates.

Specific Module Settings​

This module has several video only related fields that are located inside the Data Settings section.

Script settings/config (JSON)​

The Script settings section allows you to define player functionality and appearance. You can enter this information in JSON format. It allows you to set a variety of player elements such as: controls, thumbnail image, loop, progress bar and more.

Video provider​

This select dropdown allows you to choose from available video providers. The module allows one to choose Vimeo, YouTube, DailyMotion and HTML5 which should be used for locally hosted video files.

Video ID​

This is the field where a string unique for specific video should be added.

Video source​

This field should be used for the HTML5 provider to locate the locally hosted file. Users can type a static address or get it from WordPress Database.

Standard Module Settings​

The Video Player module shares standard settings with other Builderius modules, making it easy to adapt and use across your designs. Once you learn how to use Video Player you know how to use other modules as well. These settings are divided into two main sections: Data Settings and CSS Settings. Let's explore each in detail.

Data Settings​

Content​

The Content section allows you to define the textual content to be displayed inside the Video Player module. You can enter simple static text, utilize HTML markup (with autocomplete), and use dynamic data template tags to display information from the WordPress database, JSON, or other data source. Remember, you can nest child modules within this module to create complex content structures.

HTML Tag​

The HTML Tag setting empowers you to select an HTML tag from the provided drop-down list or create a custom HTML element by entering any string of letters (follow the syntax rules).

This toggle allows you to convert the module into a link element. When enabled, you can manually specify a URL or use dynamic data to generate the link. Please note that activating this option will replace the previously selected HTML tag with the appropriate anchor or link element.

HTML Attributes​

In this section, you can add various attributes to the module's HTML code. These attributes enable you to label or modify the behavior of the module. There are three types of attributes you can work with:

Classes​

Add multiple classes to apply styles (e.g., color, size, spacing) to multiple modules simultaneously.

ID​

Assign a unique ID name to identify this module distinctively. IDs are commonly used for in-page linking or establishing relationships between different modules on the page.

Custom Attributes​

Create custom attributes, such as aria- type attributes for screen reader accessibility or data- type attributes to extend module functionality. You can define both the attribute name and its value.

Conditions​

The Conditions section allows you to set server-side conditions for displaying the Video Player module.
