I’m planning on doing the following and wondering if there is a field to simplify the code. I’ll use a text area field which will take either youtube, or vimeo embed snippets, youtube or vimeo video URLs, or a URL to a video uploaded to the server mp4 or any other format.
Conditional statements in the post templates will check the field, and if a snippet is used output the snippet. If a URL to a youtube/vimeo video or mp4 or other format is in the field use an HTML5 player.
Is there a field type which would display a drop down and based on the drop down selection show either a text input, or text area so that my conditionals would only need to check if fields were empty or not rather than checking if they contain a URL or snippet which is a little more coding?
Thanks
Hi @anagio
This media field is yet to be created for the ACF plugin.
Someone has made a YouTube field on github, perhaps that would be a good start to look at?
Good luck

Thank @elliot i’ll just use a text area and conditionals in the template. I don’t think ACF needs a special field for videos, I was just wondering if any field could display a drop down and show / hide an input based on the select option.
Hi,
i found this work and it seems interesting https://bitbucket.org/jupitercow/acf-vimeo-uploader-field
@elliot do you know this plugin ?
Hi @benoit
Thanks for the share. Looks like it would be pretty powerful!
Thanks
