I have just been trying to add a iframe with a youtube video onto one of my pages. It has been a long haul trying to get it to show but the video now shows. Unfortunately after the iframe tag all other html code seems to be removed. I am using Joomla 1.6 and the JA Ores template. Somehow I do not believe the template is causing these problems:

In order to even be able to create an iframe with youtube videos that the system would not change to be unsable I had to stop using
TinyMCE. I also had to go to the Options page and find the text filters tab and then select No Filtering for Administrators and Super Users. I also had to go into the plug-in manager and find TinyMCE and change a couple settings as follows:

Clean code on load “Off”
Clean code on save “Never”.

I also removed iframe from the prohibited items list.

This seems to allow me to place the video. But, any text I put below the embedded video will not display and elements of the web page below the embedded image will also not display.

For an example look at
http://www.drcarney.com/health-programs/engine-2-immersions/2011-september-immersion/jacquie-says-goodbye-to-diabetes

You will see that the text above the picture which is also duplicated below the picture will not display below the picture. As well all elements like the breadcrumb trail and the footer disappear as well.

If anybody could tell me what I am doing wrong, I would be most grateful.

Below is the code I have in my article:

<p />Trying to embed the video Jacquie Says Goodbye to Diabetes in this window. I am baffled by what is causing the bottom of every page that contains this embedded video to disappear. Weird! The breadcrumb trail and other positions vanish. It seems to erase html that occurs below the point. This this text is not showing up.

<iframe src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/p19dLlD1t5Y” width=”560″ height=”315″ frameborder=”0″</iframe>

Hi Sean!
Please watch this video and see if it help any.
Also, sometimes the editor can be the issue as well.
Thanks!

Hello Blaine,

I had already encounted that video and that was the first thing I did but it did not work. So, I then found other videos and messages with more information and so I did what was I described in the opening message. What I did was much more then just removing iframe from the filter list because it removed a LOT more than that. It is not a good solution but if it worked I would have been happy.

I believe we maybe forced to use some loadposition tag and have to create a wrapper for EACH video now. But, I want to make sure that is correct. I have provided a login and password.

By doing google searches I see I am not the only person with this problem and this looks like a core joomla issue and not a problem with the JA templates.

Do you know anything about loadmodule and creating wrappers for every video? That may be what I have to figure out how to do. However, if this is a problem with 1.6 that goes away with 1.7 I may decide not to bother and to just upgrade. That of course is problematic for me right now because the JA Template I used is not yet ready for 1.7. 🙂

Thanks,

Hi Sean,
The very first thing I would do is the upgrade as you are correct this is an ongoing issue with J! 1.6
After the upgrade let me know if we need to investigate this further.
Thanks!

Catch 22. I can’t upgrade until JoomlArt has a 1.7 version of my template. JA Ores.

In the meantime my guess is that somebody at JoomlArt knows very well how to get around this problem using the wrappers or some other solution. Hopefully this will be assigned to one of them. 🙂

Hi Sean!
See if this helps with the wrapper idea: http://officialjoomlabook.com/inserting-video-tricks-and-tips
And JA Ores is already available for 1.7 BTW

Thank you Blaine for the url. That is actually the URL I used to make the changes for the iframe. But, then you will notice at the bottom they describe the wrapper solution but not in enough detail for me to follow it. However, since the rest of what they did describe did not work for me I figured the wrapper is the next thing to try. 🙂

Regarding JA Ores being ready for Joomla 1.7 are you sure?

I have NOT found it at the following URLs:

http://www.joomlart.com/joomla/templates/showcase?tag=joomla%201.7&catid=28

and http://www.joomlart.com/joomla/templates/ja-ores

And, there is no Joomla 1.7 tag at the following page: http://www.joomlart.com/joomla/templates/showcase?tag=joomla+1.6#page3

Thanks again for your help. I will download JA Ores for Joomla 1.7 as soon as it becomes available for download on the site. If you have another URL I would appreciate it!

Thank you. I did not know that was available. Now I have to figure out how to update my 1.6 site since I did a LOT of modifications to the template. In the future I am thinking it will be a better idea to do less modifications to the templates and only make changes on a copy of one of the included themes. Of course I need to get the Joomla book because I am still not sure what the difference between a theme and a profile is. 🙂

Thanks again, And, let me know if you run into any instructions on how to do the wrappers to place videos within pages using loadmodule or the equivalent.

Sean,
The best way to accomplish overrides is with custom CSS files and that way when upgrades are done, the template is not as effected.

Blaine,

Thank you for that tip. I had better do some reading up before I go this route again. Do you know any good book to learn how to do these custom css files. I had thought that I could make a copy of the .css files within a theme and create essentially a new theme where I might try to do my edits. But, it sounds like there is a better way. I really would like to be able to upgrade without having my template changes all over-written. I saw somebody suggesting the Official Joomla book. But, I wonder if it covers these type of architectural issues.

Any pointers to some good reading would help. Otherwise I can waste a LOT of time, which is getting harder and harder to come by every day. 🙂
