Spotify Links?

[KFL-Exhibits]

Hey all, I'm working on an exhibit on a podcasting project here at my institution and I was wondering if anyone had tried spotify links in CollectionBuilder? Would those be valid external links for exhibit objects?
Thanks! -Larry

@KFL-Exhibits you could handle it a couple ways-->

• out of the box, you could use the "record" display_template and put the link to the spotify item in "object_location"--it will show up as the "Link to Object" button on the Item page.
• out of the box, you could put the link to the spotify item as a metadata column, e.g. "spotify_link", and use the "external_link" option in config-metadata.csv to make it display as a clickable link in the metadata of your Item page.
• with customization, you could tweak the Item page to use the spotify link from your metadata to put a customize link, like a big button with "listen on spotify" or something.
• with customization, you could use your spotify links to create a spotify embed on the item page. This is pretty straightforward, and makes it so the user wouldn't have to leave the item page to listen.

Stellar, ok thank you. I wasn't sure using the embed code would work, but if that's an option I might figure out how to do that. Much appreciated! - Larry
