I am trying to embed a YouTube video into my website. I think I must be doing it wrong because I cannot get it to appear on my site.

Here is what I am doing, maybe someone can point out what I am doing wrong.

-Going to Extensions>>Module Manager and selecting the module I want for the video
(In this case it is Custom Module in Left position)
-Clicking on ‘Insert/Edit Embedded Media’ link, selecting ‘Type=Flash’, and entering the URL.

Any ideas?

Why not use a html mod, install it simply insert the code and assign it to which position you need

Hmm…well Opal comes with a custom module that allows html creation in the WYSIWYG editor.

anyways, I tried the extension you suggested, as well as another one, but not luck.

I can see the video in the Embed/Edit Media editor, but it won’t show up on the site.

Weird.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y83tXXe0he4

and

<object width=”480″ height=”295″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/Y83tXXe0he4&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999″></param><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param><param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/Y83tXXe0he4&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”480″ height=”295″></embed></object>

OK thanks Phil. Can you please explain to me step by step what you are doing to add the Youtube video to your site?

Reason I ask is because if I am doing the same thing and it won’t show up on mine, it must be another issue. At least I would know I am barking up the wrong tree…. 🙂

Ok I’m using the html module for Joomla 1.5 which is from http://www.dart-creations.com/joomla/joomla-modules/mod-html-for-joomla-1.5.html
After installation I get the you tube code (EMBEDED)

I then add the code to the module and enable it and assign it to where I need it to go

<object width=”425″ height=”344″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/OCAjmuA1HDk&hl=en&fs=1″></param><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param><param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/OCAjmuA1HDk&hl=en&fs=1″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”425″ height=”344″></embed></object>

Change colours in red to suit the size of your area

The instructions are also on Dart creations site.

They also have a You Tube in content module (never used it)
