Embedding vimeo videos

Posted by jbsa on October 14, 2008 at 6:34pm

Hi,

I'm trying to embed either Youtube or Vimeo videos but they never show up. I open the HTML box and paste in the embed code with Full HTML chosen from Input but it still doesn't work. I'm using the Beginning Theme. Any ideas why this is?

How are you posting them? Blog post? Page?

Why not use the CCK video module so it can embed them for you?

Hi thank you for helping.

Hi thank you for helping. I'm posting book pages. What's that module?

Works fine for me

I can do YouTube and Vimeo embedding just fine. There shouldn't be any problem for you.

Try to "View Source" on your page and see if the <object> tag for the video is there.

Which Theme are you using?

Which Theme are you using? Also, did you have to enable anything in particular?

I just downloaded the Video

I just downloaded the Video embed module but it requires 'Content' - any idea which one, there are so many to choose from...

I use Garland and Foundation

which ever theme shouldn't matter because they don't mess with you content. I don't have to enable anything, just paste the embed code into the content.

Thank you for helping. Very odd. I've downloaded another video module which will hopefully help out but it requires 'content', but I can't find that anywhere... Do you know what that is, please?

That's is in cck

why are you installing module? You don't need any module to embed vimeo video. Have you view page source and see if the <object> tag is there or not? You should do this first, make sure the tag is there, then go from there.
