+# Upendo Video Resource List
+
+Independent DNN/OpenContent template for a video resources page. It renders a simple responsive video resources section using privacy-friendly YouTube embeds when a valid YouTube ID can be parsed.
+
+## Quick Path
+
+1. Add an OpenContent module to `/resources/videos`.
+2. Select `Upendo-Video-Resource-List` and load the default data if needed.
+3. Replace the draft sample videos with approved titles, descriptions, YouTube URLs, thumbnails, categories, and tags.
+
+## Layout Settings
+
+- `BackgroundColorClass`: controls the outer section background. Includes theme-friendly labels such as `Soft Gray` for `bg-soft-gray`.
+- `ContainerClass`: controls the inner content width. Default is `container-xxl`; runtime accepts `container`, `container-sm`, `container-md`, `container-lg`, `container-xl`, `container-xxl`, and `container-fluid`.
+- `DisplayMode`: `grouped` keeps category sections and anchor navigation; `grid` renders all videos in one unified card grid.
+- `CardsPerRow`: choose `2` or `3` desktop columns. Mobile always renders one column.
+- `CompactSpacing`: reduces intro, category, and card gaps for denser pages.
+- `ShowBackToTop`: controls the small category heading link in grouped mode.
+
+## Card Layout Behavior
+
+- Cards in the same desktop row are designed to keep their internal content visually aligned.
+- Category and title areas reserve consistent vertical space on desktop so descriptions start at a predictable rhythm.
+- Tags are anchored near the lower action area, directly above the CTA button.
+- CTA buttons stay at the bottom of each card when cards have different title or description lengths.
+- Mobile cards relax the desktop alignment rules to avoid unnecessary empty space on narrow screens.
+
+## Content Editing Notes
+
+- `ModuleAnchor` accepts letters, numbers, and hyphens only.
+- `YouTubeUrl` supports common watch, `youtu.be`, `/embed/`, and `/shorts/` URL formats.
+- Valid YouTube URLs render through `https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/{id}`.
+- `ThumbnailImage` is a fallback for missing or unparseable YouTube URLs.
+- `Tags` is a comma-separated text field, intentionally not a lookup, so the template remains independent.
+- `_blank` CTA links automatically render with `rel="noopener noreferrer"`.
+- Add multiple videos with the same `Category` to render multiple cards inside one grouped section.
+
+## Accessibility
+
+- The section renders a visible heading when `SectionHeading` is configured.
+- If no visible heading exists, a visually hidden heading falls back to `ModuleTitle`.
+- Every YouTube iframe receives a title based on the video title.
+- Video embeds use a responsive aspect-ratio wrapper.
+- Fallback thumbnail links receive accessible labels.
+
+## Out Of Scope
+
+- No custom DNN module.
+- No dynamic routing.
+- No heavy JavaScript filtering.
+- No shared lookup data dependencies.
