I have multiple writers with podcasts on different systems.
The current port from vBulletin the podcasts workd. But as soon as I edit the page and save via FullHTML, they are gone....
How do you just... well embed things in general?
Thanks,
JM

what code is being used to add the podcast now?
preferably one would utilize core's file fields to allow uploading of the file type into a field other than the body. one could then utilize a player like jplayer, or mediaelement or one of the others in contrib to provide a player as a display on the node.

Thanks for the quick response! :)
The trouble is they are coming from a variety of different podcasting places.
My solution is provide the hold grail of fields. Link.
In a way this makes more sense to me, as people can listen to it and continue to browse the site.

not sure what you can do here if the files aren't under your sites control and there is no pattern to the urls in use.
perhaps a link field using the link module. Though this isn't embedding just providing a link.

Yeah, this copout didn't work :( LOL
Is there no way to allow a trusted group of people to post object/embed type things for embedding?
Is there a way to make fullHTML truly 'full' ? Something like a do whatever the heck you want field?
Hmmm
What would media embed modules cost to develop if they were sponsored....

not sure what embed code is being used. thus no way to know why FULL HTML isn't working. you wouldn't want users doing "whatever the heck they want" since that can break the site. yes. even with HTML which is why one uses fields as they are validated.
there may be a filter that works with permissions that you can enable on the FULLHTML text format within the body field but the problem may still be that if there is no consistency within the "embed code" url a filter may have a difficult time recognizing what to do with it. ie: this piece of code is from a podcast site do this. yes I know this is different but its still from a podcast site do the same thing you did with the first one. This is likely why so many different media modules exist as you need one to recognize youtube urls, one to recognize vimeo urls, and so on.

Hello,
The way you allow a trusted group of people to do anything on Drupal is by using roles correctly, e.g. by defining a role, e.g. "trusted folk" and then saying what sort of things you let that role perform, e.g. "post object/embed type things", and then giving different user logins that role, e.g. "John" and "Gill" login are given the role "trusted folk".
It might be that the full HTML is working but certain roles do not have the authority to view the content. e.g. see http://drupal.org/node/774806 When logged in as admin, can you see the content?
I don't think you need to develop a new "media embed module"; I think you need rather to find how to make work what already is available. I would be very very surprised if what you want to do cannot already be done. For example, I use the http://drupal.org/project/jplayer module for embedding media on my site for all the words in my Thai dictionary.
Good luck!
