[support] How to embed video in a story?

[Metzler, David]

You should also look at the video filter module.  Generally using
filters to embed video content is a rich text editor friendly way to go.
There may be other competing projects, but I've used this one quite
successfully.

AM,

Click on "Disable rich text" before adding embed code. Then save. If you
don't see "Disable rich text" you might have to turn that on in the
TinyMCE settings.

Note: if you have "rich text" set as the default and you go into edit
that node later, after you have gotten it to work, it's possible that
simply editing the node again and saving it -- even if you didn't touch
the embed code-- will mess up the embed code. If you are going to have a
lot of videos you should have rich text disabled by default and turn it
on for nodes that won't have the embeded code. Note also, it is possible
that you could configure TinyMCE to play more nicely with this, but
there are so many moving parts and settings going on with it and my own
success so poor with rich text editors, that I couldn't begin to advise
you on how to make them get along.

If you were using the Embedded Media Field Module
(http://drupal.org/project/emfield) then there will be no interaction
between TinyMCE and your embed code and so you would avoid this whole
problem. You need to install CCK of course to get the Embedded Media
Field module to work.

	Hi, I have a Drupal 6.1 web site; mainly a blog, that recently
went live with the help of a developer. I'm still learning my way around
it. (I'm much more familiar w/WordPress.)
	
	How do I embed a video in a story?  I tried ... made sure input
method was set to Full HTML ... but when I paste in my embed code, it
doesn't work.
	
	-- If I paste it into the HTML (source) window, when I click
Update, the code disappears from the edit story window. (If I open the
HTML window again, the code is gone).
	
	-- I paste it directly into the TinyMCE window, it appears as
text in the published story
	
	Do I need a module? Does it make a diff. that I'm not using
CCK/Views, but using Taxonomy (site was originally developed for v4).
	
	Everything else works great on the site.
	
	Here's the embed code if it makes a diff:
	<object width="425" height="256"><param name="movie"
value="http://images.tv.adobe.com//swf/player.swf"></param><param
name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param
name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><param name="FlashVars"
value="fileID=2204&context=146&embeded=true&environment=production"></pa
ram><embed src="http://images.tv.adobe.com//swf/player.swf"
flashvars="fileID=2204&context=146&embeded=true&environment=production"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always"
allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="256"></embed></object>
	
	thanks!
