What sort of "format" does one put in the Playlist section of a classmate profile? I know it's a music thing, but beyond that, have no clue and don't think a classmate will eitherWink

Needs a video there like it does for Video.Idea

Jack,

"Playlist" is not a default question in your Profile Generator. It is a custom question. If you don't like it, you can change it. Since it is a CUSTOM question, we cannot supply a video for it.

Now, just so you and everyone knows, all of the profile questions accept HTML code in the regular editor, but you have to be familiar with HTML to know what you are doing. If a classmate went to www.playlist.com and copied the embed code and pasted it in your "Playlist" profile question, then when other classmates visited their profile, the playlist would show up and they could click the PLAY button to hear music.

If you want to include images in your profile, you could just use the HTML IMG tag. If you would like a link to another website, use the HTML ANCHOR tag.

One exception is the default question for "Website". Any text typed in there becomes a link to that website. So if someone types "none" (meaning they don't have a website), it becomes a link to "http://none" which doesn't really work as a URL, but the browser tries to go there anyway and you get a page not found error in the browser.

For those not familiar with HTML codes, here is a good HTML tutorial website:

I would IF I was the root admin. I thought it was like the Video question. Maybe that is also custom, but it has a help video, so I assumed that's done by CC, plus it works differently from ALL the other profile questions. Since it followed this, I didn't realize it was created by the original Root admin. Will have to ask for it to be deleted since nobody is going to know what do do thereCool

And there's a bug in the profile for posting certain htmml codes - will post in bugs showing how it does not work correctly. Now how would I know that if I didn't know how it all is supposed to workQuestion. See bug section for details.

Yes, the VIDEO is a default question. That is why it has a help video.
