How to Embed youtube Vids?
Tried a few times to Embed youtube Videos on here but doesn`t seem to work. I can copy and paste the URL easy enough but can`t seem to get the Vid to show up actually on this site.
How do i do it??????

Re: How to Embed youtube Vids?
You don't paste the whole URL, just the bit after the = sign, the code part of the URL as it were.
In simple terms:
1: Click the media button to get this
2: Copy the highlighted part of the URL
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlRFgs0kUPM
3: Paste it into the middle of the media tags
And you get this:
4: Submit
which gives you this:

1: Click the media button to get this
Code: Select all
[media][/media]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlRFgs0kUPM
3: Paste it into the middle of the media tags
And you get this:
Code: Select all
[media]RlRFgs0kUPM[/media]

Kata, that's a bit like what I said but you've added an = sign and used the whole URL.kata wrote:I managed it once,

Oh blow it Goggle,
I did it the other week but now it does'nt.
Too used to <code><object width="160" height="160"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ht0zsE9GPrs?ve ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ht0zsE9GPrs?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="160" height="160" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></code>
Which is what my site uses.

I did it...
Just like it worked last time. Its picking out the bit of code that a bit dodgy.
Thanks Goggle.

Good work Kata, you're welcome
Just remember to copy everything AFTER the = and you'll be right.

There are lots of buttons above where you type, there's one for pics (ing) one for links (URL) and on the row below tucked in the left side there's one called media that does exactly what it says on the tin.
