    Hello,

    I am now working on a site created by expression engine (http://www.krepspr.com) and am very unfamiliar with EE. They requested that we be able to add in more videos under the video section on their site, however it seems I am only able to have a total of 4 and I was wondering if there is any area to increase the paramters and be able to add more. PLEASE HELP!

    Hi, smsmith001 -

    Jumping in to a developed, under-documented site can be difficult.

    Can you post a screenshot of what your video-adding screen looks like? That could help us to figure out how this works on your site.

    Also - if you’re developing for a licensed site, have a look at the support policy for getting full support access.

    Thanks!

    [Edit to Add] I also removed the second posting in CodeShare Corner, that way we can keep everything together.

    Ok - so can you add more entries and not display them?  Or are you having trouble adding the videos?

    Ok, so you can enter and submit it - no errors.  But it doesn’t show on the front-end?

    How familiar are you with the template system?  Are you able to tell what template is outputting your videos?  If not, I can help guide you through it. Let me know!

    I am not really sure. Under publish there is a button for “videos” in the drop down menu and also an “edit sections” button. Under Templates I do not see any section for videos.

    I Think I found it please take a look at the code below and tell me if it is where the number limit=“4” is below.

    <div id="kdtv-box">
    
    {exp:weblog:entries weblog="videos" dynamic="off" disable="member_data|pagination|trackbacks" sort="asc" limit="1"}
    <div class="video">
                <a href="http://{vid-link}" target="_blank" rel="noopener">{vid-img}</a>
    </div>
    {/exp:weblog:entries}
    
        <div class="box">
            <h2>Watch Videos</h2>
    <p>        <ul><br />
    {exp:weblog:entries weblog="videos" dynamic="off" disable="member_data|pagination|trackbacks" sort="asc" limit="4"}<br />
                <li><a href="http://{vid-link}" target="_blank" rel="noopener">{exp:word_limit total="5"}{title}{/exp:word_limit}</a></li><br />
    {/exp:weblog:entries}<br />
            </ul><br />
        </div><br />
    </div>

    Just one last thing - I see you are on a licensed version, so please do follow the support policy link instructions on receiving technical support, or we won’t be able to assist in the future.

    Thanks!

    Okay, no problem. The person who set this up no longer handles the website. Can I use the login and password I currently have or is there one associated with http://www.krepspr.com that I will need.
