Hi,

I have sen this problem before and I have sorted it out on other sites.....but....

I cannot get embedded youtube links to "stick".

I have read all the posts, watched videos and implementated the video module.

When I go to edit the HTML and I insert the youtube code and save it..... most of it disappears and when one goes back to the HTML all that is there is a

instead of

I have added param embed and object to the allowed list of HTML variables.
I have chose full HTML.

If anyone has had a similiar problem or if anyone has something for me to try I would be much obliged.

Many thanks,

regards

Steve

This is all you need:

http://drupal.org/project/embedfilter

Works first time around. Just activate the input filter accordingly after you upload the module.

Hi bwv,

Thanks very much for the answer and Info.

I installed the module no problems.

I went into the HTML for the page edit and pasted in the embedded code from Youtube.

I posted the code into a table and I can see that there is some object there.

When I go back into the HTML code all I see is

Have I got some settings file with the wrong permissions or something???

regards

Steve

Go to site config, input filters. Configure full html, check the box for the embedded video filter. Save, then view your embedded videos.

Hi,

I have tried everything... but still no go...

I go to HTML and insert the youtube code, save.

When I see the page it shows a box but no video.

When I go back into the code I see

all the other youtube code is missing.

In the Input format section Full HTML is ticked and it says

You can use

, and tags from the following sites to add media to your posts: I've only a little bit of hair left to pull out.... :-( thanks very much, regards Steve

Do not put the code in a table. Just paste the code by itself.

Hello, I am starting with drupal 6, actually i have posted my first you tube video affter the figuring out the modules thing, my question is if is there a way to insert the video just with its direct link and no the long embed code provided by tube.

So instead of:

(object width="480" height="385">

How can i just do:

http://www.youtube.com/v/tIBxavsiHzM

and get it showing?

Thank You
