Hi! Is there any reason the link to the promotion video on YouTube doesn’t start where the link tells it to start. I need it to start 8 minutes in, but it will only start at the beginning. I have tried the link outside of the website and it works fine.

Thanks!

@imajons: Hello Ima,
The Custom Type does not take the time parameter so it will start from the beginning. So you can embed the youtube code to a post or a page and then select that post/page as a Promotion Headline.

Let me know if this helps you out!
Kind Regards,

The issue is that I wanted to keep the Promotion Headline as a Custom section so that I could keep the background image and then have the video only pop up when people click Play Video. I guess I will have to find a way to edit that video to get this right? I also tried using the button with a button link, but the button is not showing up after I publish so I couldn’t test to see if that works. Do you know if the button link/url would work better than the Play Video url?

Thanks!

@imajons: Hello Ima,
I understand but the js used to display the video lightbox seems to not consider the time parameter in the link. You will need to edit the video and upload a new one and use that one in the promotion headline video.

The Button Url does works well but it does not open a video lightbox like when the Play Video button is clicked.

Let me know if this works out!
Kind Regards,

Is this a feature that you could offer in a theme update by any chance? Did a bit of research into it and it seems that the parameters can be manipulated to modify the behavior. Would be awesome!
