[SOLVED] Site 95% done accept a couple of problems

Hi

I've nearly finished my CMS MS web site but I have a problem whereby any new page or content block is pre populated with the code below and will not go away. How can I stop this ?

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<__html>
<head>
<title>Untitled document</title>
</head>
</__body>

<__body>
</__html>
Secondly I have a page containing screen shots of films. The films are encoded as .flv files and are hosted on my server. Ideally I'd like visitors to the web site to click these whereby a popup opens and the video begins to play instead of having 7 pages with the video player code embedded is there a way to only use 1 page and pass something over in the url so that the correct video is played. Youtube and similar are not an option.

Thanks  :)

----------------------------

I managed to sort out the problem with the code appearing which makes total sense now. Turn off the full page TinyMCE plug-in. I'm still playing with videos.

1) That sounds like TinyMCE. Did you check the box in settings saying something like "allow editing of metadata". This could also be in the template or a Global Content Block.

2) Please describe the second problem again. You would like to embed a video, right? Little more description, existing code, or a link will help.

Video Problem

I have 7 videos and on 1 of my pages I have 7 screen shot images which instead of linking to 7 different pages with a video player embedded I would like to know if there is a more efficient way of playing these videos.

All of the videos are in .flv format. Whichever system I use needs to be easy as I will be handing control of the web site to someone who is not particularly IT literate.

Thanks

Have you already looked at the available modules and searched the forum for the names of modules that sound like they do what you want? There is at least one flv player module.

Nevermind it is all working fine now.
I did create multiple pages and used the very fine Play module which is very simple to use.

Thanks for the help anyway.
