I can't seem to embed youtube videos using text editor. It brings up the youtube box, but rejects all the videos. What am I doing wrong?

I'm not seeing an issue on my dev site, are all of your modules up to date? Are you using the latest versions?

Yes. I just installed them. Maybe I am missing a mod or I am used to getting a full embed in my comments section?

I just checked the comments embed and I'm not seeing an issue there either.

You might check that you have the "Convert Embed Tags" check box checked in your ACP > Core > Quota Config for all of your quotas that your allowing the embed feature.

Still not working. The funny thing is that when I go to the preview mode, it shows and when I post, it doesn't.

Perrie, do you have both modules installed and ENABLED:
Editor Embedded Media, and Editor Image Upload?
and have you checked the proper boxes under each of those modules' "quota config' TABS?

Sounds like it is being stripped out. Have you added:

object,param

to your Allowed HTML tags?

Hi Brian,
I am not sure where I would add that piece of code or allow those tags. I will look around.

Amended: Just found it and yes it is enabled. In fact, they all are.

What is the URL of the YouTube video you are trying to embed? And where are you trying to add it?

The Prisoner Opening Sequence

And I am trying to post it as a test in this discussion in the community forum:

Well it works here, LOL. Funny thing is that I put it in as a URL, it then translated that URL to Prisioner Opening Sequence and when I clicked on it, it came up as the video

No. It works here, but not on my site.

You didn't have 'object,param' entered as valid tags for your quotas.
Its working now - Check the last post on the 'Wally' thread.

Hi Paul,
Thanks!
I thought the actual youtube video would embed and not a link to the video. Is there a way to use an Iframe in the comments?
This is kind of an important feature, since we often use news embeds on the site.

Your best bet would be to install/enable the URL Scanner module for all your quotas. That way players will open within the post, as they do on this forum.

Hi Paul- I didn't know about the URL Scanner module- now I do, and I installed it.
I have it checked as 'enabled'...but the only only tab it has is its 'info' tab...it does not have quota config tab, etc like other modules do. So can you please tell me how I can "enable the URL Scanner module for all your quotas"? Or is simply checking that one module 'enable' box enough?

The Quota Config tab for the Core has the checkbox for this module.
