Re: [support] How to embed video in a story?
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. Shai On Thu, Sep 24, 2009 at 2:46 PM, AM Concepcion <ace@senecadesign.com> wrote:
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"></param><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>

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. ________________________________ From: support-bounces@drupal.org [mailto:support-bounces@drupal.org] On Behalf Of Shai Gluskin Sent: Thursday, September 24, 2009 2:29 PM To: support@drupal.org Subject: Re: [support] How to embed video in a story?

Currently I am embedding a page being pulled from another web server using IFrame. Although it looks ok I'd like to know if there is in alternative method that would make the source of my Drupal page look complete (inclusive of the IFRAME pulled html) for SEO purposes. Currently, when you view the source of the page the source just shows the IFRAME code and none of the HTML being served up via the IFRAME tag. is there another way I can do this? thank you
querypath <http://drupal.org/project/querypath>should be what you need, I haven't played with this module yet, so I'd like to know how it goes for u? Thanks On Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 6:13 AM, Cosmo <drupallist@dirtsimple.net> wrote:
