Video

With Zigmos you’ll be able to integrate videos from Youtube, Podcast and Vimeo. If you want to integrate a business video gallery, we recommend creating a Youtube or Vimeo channel in which you’ll upload all of the business’s videos.
You can create a thematic gallery too from other sources than the store (for example, a fashion video gallery for a trendy bar).
Here is how it works, it’s quite simple:
Build and Manage your Mobile Apps

1. YOUTUBE

Begin by giving a name to your gallery. If you create several galleries, users will be able to select the one they want to watch:

Then, in the “search” field, what you’re going to enter depends on what type of search you’re are going to select:

CREATE A GALLERY WITH ONLY THE STORE VIDEOS:

You already have created the store channel on Youtube and uploaded the videos on this channel. Let’s suppose this Youtube channel is called “RockCafé”, here is how you create the gallery:
Enter the name you want for your video gallery and then the name of the Youtube channel in the “search” field. Then choose “Channel” for “Type”:

CREATE A THEMATIC VIDEO GALLERY:

Enter the name you want for your video gallery, the keyword you want to search for in the “search” field, and choose “Search” in “Type”:

Here is the result:

If you want to add another gallery, just click on and repeat the process above.
2. PODCAST
You can also integrate videos from podcasts. To do this, you have to enter the name of your video gallery and the URL address of your video.

3. VIMEO

If you want to add a channel you have to enter the ID of the channel in the “search” field and select “Channel” in the “type” select box.
You can find the ID of the channel at the end of the channel URL. For example, for this channel:
https://vimeo.com/channels/579789 you just have to enter “579789″.
For the other types of choices (User, Group and Album), it is the same process for Channel. Just enter the ID that reads at the end of the URL. For example to import all the videos of this user:
https://vimeo.com/user34185856
enter “user34185856″ in the “search” field and select “user” for type.

Custom Page

Zigmos gives you a wide choice of features to put your products and activity forward.
A custom page allows you to enlighten your business in numerous ways. You can write an article with a picture or not, you can publish a photo gallery and you can publish a video directly on this page.
For instance, a custom page gives you the opportunity to create pages as seen below:

Let’s see how you can create a page such as these. First, you need to create a new custom page:

Then you must name your new page (here it will be Our Activities).
A custom page is made up of independent blocks. Thus you can create as many blocks as you want in the same page (in the example page “Our Activities” there are three blocks: one about golf, one about tennis – which are both text sections – and one about the lake which is an image section).

1. TEXT SECTIONS:

Here, we will create the first section, which is dealing with golf. To do this, click on “Text”.

A new text document appears and you can write your article in it.

Then, insert the picture we want in this section. To do that, click on the icon which is circled in red. This icon appears

and allows you to insert your picture.

When this one has been inserted, you can act on its alignment and its size:

Thus you obtain this result:

To obtain the section concerning tennis, click again on

and follow the process we have seen. But you must act on the alignment which must be on the right and not on the left. You can create as many sections as you want (custom pages are made up of independent blocks).
MORE:
You can also add in your text element a link to a website or a phone number. To do this, click on:

This appears:

You have to choose the protocol you want to integrate “http://” if you want to integrate a website or “tel:” if you want to integrate a phone number.

Then write in the URL case to link, ex:Website:

2. PICTURE SECTIONS

Creating a photo gallery is as easy as realizing a text section. To do that, click on

and then on “Add pictures”

You obtain this:

You can add a description of your picture if you want. Here again you can create as many sections as you want, you just have to click on

.

3. VIDEO SECTIONS

The creation of a video section is as easy as the creation of text sections and picture sections. To do that, you must create a new section, click on
