youTube plugin TinyMCE instructions?

Posted by kyle.vh on June 26, 2007 at 11:44pm

Are there any instructions for how to install this youTube plugin?
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1669296&group_i...

I know how to install a module (in: sites/all/modules).
I've already installed tinyMCE and I'm able to embed/upload pics, etc...

Specifically, I'm wondering why there are three downloadable items on the link above.
Should I use the lastest only?
Should I use some combination of the three?
Any other concerns?

I read the readme's, but they say to check TinyMCE documentation, which seems to be lacking any info on this specific topic.

Any help is greatly appreciated,
kyle vh

Seems to me you would need the plugin and the drupal workaround archive as well. Personally, I suggest you test this on a test installation and not on your production site to insure that it won't wreck your installation. instructions for how to install this should be found in the downloads you linked to.

Instructions are not in the downloads.
The readme's say to go to the tinyMCE documentation page, but there's no info there.

What's a test installation?
just one that I never plan to use, but mess around on?
thanks,

One that allows to test modules and changes before implementing them in a production site.

Agreed, not clear

Yes, the instructions do seem to be missing with the TinyMCE YouTube plugin/module for Drupal.

Below are the steps I took, yet I do NOT see a YouTube button in my TinyMCE editor. Any ideas from someone who has this working? Thanks!!

1. Uploaded the /youtube/ folder to /modules/tinymce/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/
(I also tried uploading to /modules/tinymce/plugins/)

2. Opened the files (3): /modules/tinymce/themes/tinymce_*.js

3. Added ",youtube" to the end of the "plugins:" line.

4. Also, added ",youtube" to the end of one of the "theme_advanced_buttons_X_add:" lines in each file.

5. Uploaded the modified files, refreshed the create content page.

Bummer, no YouTube button!

The creators of the WordPress YouTube plugin (Viper's) had the right idea: no user configuration required!

same problem, button missing

Posted by societyofrobots on February 18, 2008 at 10:55pm

I followed all the steps too, but my button is missing on the editor.

It is however present on the 'Edit tinymce profile' 'Buttons and plugins' section on Drupal, and despite checking the box next to the youtube icon, it still doesn't show in my tinymce editor.

Did anyone figure out how to fix this?

YouTube plugin button not appearing on TinyMCE editor

Posted by Wrath-BRIG- on April 9, 2008 at 4:30pm

No-Go here as well.
The option is available in the profile-editor, but when selected, the button does not appear on the the TinyMCE editor.

Also worth mentioning...
I tried following the instructions in the post http://drupal.org/node/154877#comment-253803, but the only step that I could actually do was #4 because my editor_plugin.js file was apparently very different than the one the author was working with. I only mention it in case the two are related.

Some installation instructions

Posted by furmans on July 20, 2007 at 12:03am

You're not kidding there are no instructions for this. Here's what I came up with after a couple of hours of fiddling and debugging.

Here's what I did:

1) unzip the plugin youtube.zip into /sites/all/modules/tinymce/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/

2) add the following to /sites/all/modules/tinymce/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins//youtube/editor_plugin.js :

                                        if( src.indexOf("http://youtube.com/watch?v=") > -1 )
                                                src = src.replace("http://youtube.com/watch?v=", "");

after the line (line 204):

                                        if( src.indexOf("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=") > -1 )
                                                src = src.replace("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=", "");

This patch is to allow you to use both the www and non-www version of a YouTube URL.

3) also change the following line (216):

                                        embedHTML += '<embed src="' + flash_mov + '" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="' + attribs["width"] + '" height="' + attribs["height"] + '"></embed></object>';

to:

                                        embedHTML += '<embed src="' + flash_mov + '" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="' + attribs["width"] + '" height="' + attribs["height"] + '"></embed></object>';

This patch removes a redundant application type declaration.

4) update your plugin registration file: /sites/all/modules/tinymce/plugin_reg.php anywhere inside the function function _tinymce_plugins():

$plugins['youtube'] = array();
$plugins['youtube']['theme_advanced_buttons1'] = array('youtube');

5) Navigate to /admin/settings/tinymce on your Drupal site and activate the new YouTube button.

I'm sure that step 4 is the one everyone is missing. In any case, good luck!

Something goes wrong on step number 2.

Posted by ashleyhosting on September 21, 2007 at 3:25am

Thanks to your help I was able to get the youtube plugin working nicely... except that when I try to add the code for step 2 so that I can enter urls without the www., my urls start looking like this:

http://www.youtube.com/v/http://youtube.com/watch?v=SHYXrqoS08o which obviously won't work :)

my if statements look like this:

if( src.indexOf("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=") > -1 )
    src = src.replace("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=", "");
if( src.indexOf("http://youtube.com/watch?v=") > -1 )
    src = src.replace("http://youtube.com/watch?v=", "");
if( src.indexOf("http://www.youtube.com/v/") < 0 )
    src = "http://www.youtube.com/v/"+src;

Any ideas?

Thanks for this furmans,

Posted by Tony Sharpe on September 27, 2007 at 2:34pm

Thanks for this furmans, very useful. For the UK version of YouTube I had to add another change. Following step 2 above, add

					if( src.indexOf("http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=") > -1 )
                                                src = src.replace("http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=", "");

just before

					if( src.indexOf("http://www.youtube.com/v/") < 0 )
						src = "http://www.youtube.com/v/"+src;

and that will correct UK YouTube urls.
I followed step 4 above but that line was commented out in the file dated 2 Apr 07.
The problem I have is that in FF it works but goes off to YouTube page rather than embedding. In IE7 it first needs click to activate then it hangs on "Loading" but it has stayed embedded.
I've tried the media plugin as well. That will need a similar fix for UK urls but I manually changed the entered url to the correct format. It's just the same - FF works but not embedded, IE7 hangs on loading. Any thoughts?

After spending a long time

Posted by Tony Sharpe on September 27, 2007 at 3:45pm

After spending a long time trying slight code variations with not very repeatable results, I discovered that in FF you go to the YouTube page if you click the picture but it's embedded if you click the play button in the middle :-). This is how it is if you directly embed the html from YouTube as well. Does anyone know of a way to change this as I'd prefer to keep it embedded wherever you click.
Still hangs in IE7.

Updating flash player fixed IE7 YouTube issue

Posted by Tony Sharpe on September 27, 2007 at 9:49pm

I've updated the flash player, even though I thought I'd only just downloaded the latest one already, and it now works in IE7. Does anyone know how to turn off clicking on the picture so it doesn't take you to YouTube?

The new player came up with related videos at the end of playing. I didn't want this as it would draw people away from the site so I added "&rel=0" to the end of the src string which fixed it. I've also changed the media plugin to work with UK (and non-www) urls as well as adding ""&rel=0". The file to change is modules\tinymce\tinymce\jscripts\tiny_mce\plugins\media\jscripts\media.js. Changed code looks like

	// YouTube
	if (v.indexOf('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=') == 0 || v.indexOf('http://youtube.com/watch?v=') == 0 || v.indexOf('http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=') == 0) {
		f.width.value = '425';
		f.height.value = '350';

		v = v.replace('http://youtube.com/watch?v=', '');
		v = v.replace('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=', '');
		v = v.replace('http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=', '');

		f.src.value = 'http://www.youtube.com/v/' + v + '&rel=0';
		return 'flash';
	}

Doesn't work

Posted by rogerd on August 28, 2007 at 8:41pm

I'm acually using this youtube plugin for tinymce on a different cms and am here because I can't find anyone else talking about it.

I figured just getting tinymce to allow the html would be the same no matter what platform.

each CMS handles their filtering a bit differetly. Best place to askthis question is on a forum dedicated to your CMS.

What about drupal Videos?

Posted by brollo on April 13, 2008 at 4:20pm

Hello,

Is there a way of setting up TinyMCE so as to get a button to insert videos created with the videos module?

I would like to insert video nodes within other nodes which are editable through TinyMCE.

Is this a possibility? Are there any plugins for tinyMCE, any modules I can use?

Thanks in advance

I found out that using Media
