There is a Youtube Module:

Worked like a charm on one of my projects

looked at that but it does not show on the page editor
Call ? but when the help says
To call the module, simply use the following tag:
{cms_module module="youtubeplayer"} or {cms_module module="youtubeplayer" alias="alias_of_item"}? Tried them in the page code (both sides of the wysiwyg editor)
where do i actually use that code?
and why has the youtube iframe code stopped working? - i could do it as a global block butthat is a bit of a overkill (or is it the only way)?

I turn off the wysiwyg editor (disable checkbox is halfway down on the options tab) for pages with embed code or js because TinyMCE will filter it when you save it.

Is there a better way as when you have other content in the page it will look poor if the page creater does not know code (which most don't) - is the alternative globalblocks?

Tiny eats code like that, best to put it in GCB then call that in page content edit box...

I have a simple user defined tag (UDT) I use. It's pretty basic but works for me.
Create a UDT called 'youTube' with the following code:
Code: Select all
// write out an embed tag for a youtube vid.
$ytCode=$params['code'];
if(isset($params['height'])){
$height=$params['height'];
}else{
$height=385;
}
if(isset($params['width'])){
$width=$params['width'];
}else{
$width=640;
}
if(isset($params['autoplay'])){
$autoplay=$params['autoplay'];
}else{
$autoplay=0;
}
$vidString='<div>';
$vidString.='<object width="'.$width.'" height="'. $height .'">';
$vidString.='<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/' . $ytCode .'&hl=en_GB&fs=1&rel=0&autoplay=' . $autoplay . '"></param>';
$vidString.='<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><param name="wmode" value="opaque"></param>';
$vidString.='<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/' . $ytCode .'&hl=en_GB&fs=1&rel=0&autoplay=' . $autoplay .'" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="opaque" width="' . $width .'" height="' . $height .'"></embed></object>';
$vidString.='</div>';
echo $vidString;
And then in your page content you can then add a tag in the form:
where 'code' is the id of your video. You can also pass height, width and autoplay parameters.
Hope it helps.
