Does this forum have the ability to embed Youtube videos

[crypticdragons]

Pretty much what the title says. I know when I try to use the embed code it comes up as nothing but a bunch of lines of text. Is there a trick to it? Or does this forum not support embeded video?

 

[renich]

Videos are supported. What are you typing?

 

[crypticdragons]

What should I be typing? lol
I copy the embed code and both times I tried it it did not work.

 

[renich]

It works just like when you put an image in, but with the video code. So, you will need to type your link. For example:

http://www.lalala.com

 

[crypticdragons]

so how do you do a video cod??

 

[renich]

Video cod? Can you send me what you are trying to do? You should be able to input your Youtube link....

 

[crypticdragons]

sorry that was my keyboard and my fingers not getting along lol I meant Code.

This is what youtube gives for a embed code
<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hJJj72yLXVQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hJJj72yLXVQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

but that is obviously not it. I know I can post a link that will take people to the video from here but what I am asking is how to actually post the video here so people can watch it here on this forum instead of going to youtube.

I dont think that works.

 

[beardielover17]

no it doesnt but if the feature is supported on the site's software thats what it would be

 

[renich]

Sorry, Candice. Missed that thread. We've had flooding issues in the basement that have kept me busy with flood companies, insurance companies, etc.

It should work. I'm not sure that the code being used is correct. Give me some time when I can sit down and look at this closer. Doing a quick glance does not have anything jump out at me.

 

[beardielover17]

No worries Renee. I definitely can understand things get busy =]

If you use the URL tags and post this address it will work:

http://www.youtube.com/v/hJJj72yLXVQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1

 

[beardielover17]

Yeah but I think what Brian wants (at least what I was suggesting) was the actual video be playable IN the thread

 

[Fliehigh]

OH, sorry about that, I thought he didn't know what part of the embeded code from Youtube to use.

 

[beardielover17]

lol no need to apologize you may be right too

 

[crypticdragons]

Nope I want to see how you can view it IN the forum post

 

[renich]

Looks like it is a mod that will need to be added. We'll look into it.
