Embed youtube

[pandaman]

How can I embed youtube video in my pages ?

[artlader]

Hi, Pandaman,

I think you can take the embed markup they give you for each movie and paste it into the html matkup of a wysiwyg page:

Code:

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QUOqFV_v5po"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/QUOqFV_v5po" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

Or does that not work? (It works for me.)

When I paste this code in it shows up as code in the published page

you need to paste the code into the sourceview of your prefered WYSIWYG Editor ... in HTML Area look out for an icon looking like this: <> (similar in Xinha) and in FCK it is the button "sourcecode".

Have you tried your page from the frontend?

In the backend you only see the embedded code in the sourceview, but it works (with wb 2.7)

I don't know.

Please compare the original code from youtube with your code from fck in an editor.
Than you will see.
In wb 2.7 it works with the fck-editor: http://www.erpe.bplaced.net/pages/songs-a/after-midnight.php

me again

i checked it out:

i creat a wysiwys page
change to source view
paste the following:

Code:

<object width="243" height="200">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6T0maQ9R0-0" />

<param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="243" height="200" wmode="transparent" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6T0maQ9R0-0"></embed></object>

save

when i look againe at the source code i get this:

Code:

<object height="200" width="243">
<param value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6T0maQ9R0-0" name="movie" />
<param value="transparent" name="wmode" /></object>

the rest has gone!!!



any hints?

Seems to me that the whole "embed-code" is gone.
Have you tired with another editor (I don't know which editors are available for your wb-version)?

HTMLarea did the work!

it seems to be definetly an editor issue ... i will try if an update of fck will help (but this later, at least i have now a workaround) tks for help.

I've found in the hard way using <embed> do not work in this case (I mean, not with FCK).
My solution: insert a flash object and put the url and other config stuff in the "insert flash popup"; this is a lame solution because just works with flash films, but tha's exactly what I want, so...

The easiest way to embed Youtube-videos

You´ll find here

[cnwb]

If I might suggest a solution to your youtube issue

take a look at the following TinyMCE v3.1.1 WYSIWYG Editor located in websitebakers add-ons Repository

Insert the YouTube video ID of the video you want to appear. set width height save your done!

[iggyFlames]

Well, I don't understand why one would need TinyMCE. I do exactly the same with FCKEditor. Not that I have something against TinyMCE, mind you. It's just that I really can't see why the change is necessary.

@iggyFlames
  dont´t tell me lies

with TinyMCE You have an icon, there is a connector for Youtube integrated by default. In FCK You wouldn´t find. Either You extend FCK or You do something else. - But not exactly the same.

But - it would be more helpful if You tell us what You do exactly, so someone else could use Your HowTo and save time.

[iggyFlames]

Ohhhhhhhh, now I understand what you were talking about how easy is with TinyMCE. You are right, FCK have no youtube connector integrated. But FCK has a "insert flash button", and no, I do not extend my FCK .
I would post a explanation before but my language skills fails me sometimes.
What I do is very simple: I just grab the url informed by youtube at <embed src=......> and use it to configure the flash included.
I don't know how "orthodox" this is but I have the same problem as pandaman but I was afraid it's just because I'm green with WB, so I come to this solutions... It's not ideal but works and it's fast and easy. You can configure sizes and other things too.
