Can I use Wekan as a CMS?

Another possibility would be to download those videos, and add them to your own webserver as files, and then add links to videos to cards. That would make more sense.

Downloading videos is also a good way to make sure video does not get lost, or some YouTube algorithm does not delete it automatically.

6:43pm

I have all those videos. It is not such a bad idea to have them on my own web server. Anyway, could you make a thumbnail of the video as jpg and then link to youtube?

YouTube has a lot of tracking. For example, I see from adblocker UBlock Origin that some video has 310 trackers, that is amount of blocked tracking urls etc.

Of course you can add links to YouTube. It's just not possible to embed them to card.

For example, with this kind of markdown at card:

- [Nice cat video](https://youtube.com/...)
- [Nice doc vide](https://youtube.com/...)

And video will open in new tab

browser tab

And for those images, you could attach smaller resized images

I mean, don't embed youtube video, but use a simple link to youtube by clicking on an image.

Just a moment I'll try image link

6:51pm

I did not get it working yet

Anyway, text link works

6:55pm

Okay, so when you click on an image nothing would happen. I would have to put a text link, right?

Yes. Wekan and Trello has some features that are at both. Then there are features that only Wekan has (like Swimlanes etc), and some that only Trello has.

6:57pm

Trello is closed source, so I don't know how they implement all those. Wekan is all different code, graphics and design.

6:59pm

Okay, it's a little more cumbersome, but it can be workable. Anyway, is it possible that in the future you can implement the embedded video feature?

Do you mean like embedding video link to card?

7:02pm

Hmm, maybe if I would have custom field type video, and it would have direct link to video file, and there would be player in Wekan itself.

7:02pm

I need to think can it be done securely

7:04pm

Thank you for your patience. One more question that has not been clear to me: to adjust the size of the images to the size of the card, what would I have to do or is it a modification that you have to do?

something like this code:

<img src="https://image.jpg" width="200" height="200">

7:05pm

that code already works
