Hello mate!

1) As demo, we use the custom module and then copy the video code from youtobe or vimeo and put them into the module content
2) Create a menu item load this module into the menu content

Hello,

Whatever i tried, it won’t work! I copied the code from a youtube movie, paste it into the module editor, give the module a unique name,make a new menuitem and load the module position.
refresh the page and nothing will appear.

What do i wrong?

May be the editor removed the code, Check HTML Code view to see if the code you inserted is intact. for inserting codes one should use HTML editor view to update the content. Let me know if this helps.

Check this image : The method may be different for different editors :

hello tienhc,

The pasted code dissapear when i pushed the save button!
I use TinyMCE en i tried several editor options, including code cleanup > off and code cleanup by saving > never.
At the bottom by the basic options, by forbidden elements, i removed script, iframe, etc but by saving this parameter these options appear again. Apparently, i have fill in something so i filled the word nothing.
I hope this is ok.

But even with all this options, the code in the editor goes away.

I hope that you have enough information.

Ok, problem solved!!

I found the solution!!. Turn off all levels of filtering for your access level, in the Articles manager.

I dont know of this is recommended, but it works!!:)

Thanks, good info! This worked. Also though I found that I can check “Use old embed code” on youtube and then I get code that uses an object tage instead of an iframe and it works fine and I don’t have to give up my TinyMCE.
