Hi all,

I want to place a video in the todays video custom module area, either an uploaded video to the server or a youtube link…
How do i go about it? plus fit it within that small window.

Thanks
Mahoo

Personally, I would use one of the many media plugins available from the JED or use the JCE editor. They make adding video a breeze with just a couple of clicks rather than creating an embed link.

Hi Mahoo, did you find the best way to place video in the today’s video?
Because using jCE editor doesn’t seem to be the only way to place. As I tried both from youtube and vimeo and no video appeared. Pls give an idea.
Thanks

Hi there,

Today Video is a custom HTML module, please open HTML mode: http://easycaptures.com/fs/uploaded/603/2371552259.png and add embeded code of your video. Here are 2 example:

– Vimeo video as demo:

<p>
<object data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7421222&server=vimeo.com&color=333333&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="210" height="120"><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="src" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7421222&server=vimeo.com&color=333333&fullscreen=1" /><param name="pluginspage" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=7421222&server=vimeo.com&color=33bbbb&fullscreen=1" /><param name="scale" value="noborder" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /></object></p>
-Youtube video:

<object width="210" height="120" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/NnD2n_NBGMg?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NnD2n_NBGMg?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object>

Regards.

Thanx Saguaros for advice. I put the given codes switching html mode and it works!:)
But I used to put codes generated via ‘share’ button under Youtube videos.
Generated HTML code was much shorter than yours, probably that was not enough (?)
Here is an example:
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/TcLdtUHIkuk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

So if it was a merely wrong way to get the code, can you provide the right way to get html-code?

Hi there,

When you click embeded button, there are some options for you to choose code to embeded in your site, in my reply above I choose to use the old embed code:http://easycaptures.com/fs/uploaded/612/5473612959.png
You can try with it.

Regards.
