Supplement CMS Imagery From Youtube!
Description
Hello everyone! Today's fun experiment; using and implementing images straight from Youtube in tandem with Webflow CMS to better contextualize posts!
How'd I do it, you ask? Simple! Custom code, mixed with Webflow CSS, in which is injected a background-image referencing the link for the HD youtube image from the post-specific youtube video.
Very much a WIP. One thing I want to improve is the video experience on the posts page. I had to put the video in a lightbox because, on larger viewports where the video took over the whole hero, you couldn't scroll past the video because it's an iframe. I'm currently searching for a better solution for this issue, so if you have one I'd love to hear about it in the comments!
Let me know what you think! All video links and images used in the project are credited to https://www.theverge.com
Feeling inspired?If this Made In Webflow site sparked some inspo, why not get started on a project of your own? Clone a site, purchase a template or start building from scratch.
We miss comments too!
Right now, Made in Webflow doesn't offer all of the same functionality that Showcase did, like the ability to leave comments. But don't worry: We're working to bring comments back as soon as possible!
