The other day the Beaver Builder team updated the plugin to allow background images on content rows by simply pasting in a Vimeo or YouTube URL. It works really well.
I've been using a Views Content Template with Beaver Builder and trying to get a shortcode for a text field to show the video as a background.
I always end up with the same result though - NO video background. Just the fallback colour!
However, if I simply put the URL directly into the Page Builder without trying to fetch it via the shortcode, it all works fine.
I've tried to display this field with and without formatting - nothing!
I've tried removing quotes and added " and ' to this shortcode:
[types field='vimeo-youtube-url'][/types]
so I've tried:
[types field=vimeo-youtube-url][/types]
and
[types field="vimeo-youtube-url"][/types]
Not working!!!
Sorry, I think Luo and I tried to reply at the same time.
I don't have the BB update to test this but it is almost certainly because the Types shortcode is not being processed in time for the Beaver Builder action which handles the video background, which is seeing the shortcode text rather than a url.
This is likely to require some specific action on our part to print the url in time.
The best way forward is for you to make this a feature request, which will be handled directly by our developers.
Unfortunately, that requires you to submit a new thread which you mark as a feature request.
Sorry for the duplication (and any confusion) required.
