Hi, I am working on taking vimeo videos and making entries for them in a website. I created a set of fields (2 one for the video and one for the summary). However I am having an issue with them showing up.

I have posted content in a channel called after effects.  This is my code and I am wondering why my content isn’t showing up…

<div class="main_feature">
{exp:channel:entries
channel:"after_effects"}
{/exp:channel:entries}
</div>

I am kinda a noob, at the expression engine tags yet. For the video entry I pasted the embed code in and I am assuming that will make the video show up? Am I way off in my logic of how this works? Thanks in advance for any help, it is greatly appreciated!

Hello reanimatedfallout,

Thank you for posting your question.

I think you may want to read up a bit on the Channel Entries Tag.

First, you want to use an = sign, not : when setting channel parameters.

Next, inside the channel entries tags you will want to place your channel fields. Whatever you named those. So assume that you create video_link, video_name and video_description.

<div class="main_feature">
{exp:channel:entries channel="after_effects"}
<h1>{title}</h1>
<a href="http://{video_link}">{video_name}</a>

{video_description}
{/exp:channel:entries}
</div>

Does that make sense?

Cheers,
