YouTube Object

Tuesday 19 February 2008 1:33:37 pm

hi,

in first, i think You will not use "{literal}" in its true place, in general literal is used when we want to introduce javascrip in language template (to avoid ambiguity between "{" of javascript and "{" of ez)

reference :
http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/4_0/reference/template_functions/miscellaneous/literal

try this code :

<div class="youtube">
      <object width="{$width}" height="{$height}">
              <param name="movie" value="{$movie_url}"></param>
              <param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
             <embed src="{$movie_url}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"   wmode="transparent" width="{$width}" height="{$height}"></embed>
     </object>
</div>

i hope this work.

tks

Abdelkader.

Hello,

I think you have to check settings in settings/override/content.ini.append.php :

[CustomTagSettings]
IsInline[youtube]=true

I give you my settings :

I create the custom tag "video" :

My content.ini.append.php

<?php /* #?ini charset="utf-8"?
[CustomTagSettings]
AvailableCustomTags[]=video
IsInline[video]=true

[video]
CustomAttributes[]=width
CustomAttributes[]=height
CustomAttributesDefaults[width]=400
CustomAttributesDefaults[height]=316
*/ ?>

design/<site_access>/override/templates/content/datatype/view/ezxmltags/video.tpl

<span class="video">
    <object width="{$width}" height="{$height}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="{$content}">
        <param name="movie" value="{$content}"></param>
        <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></param>
    </object>
</span>

Good luck.

Mine is in

design/<site_design>/templates/content/datatype/view/ezxmltags/youtube.tpl

and I am running 3.9.2. My original problem is that the tag object and embed get stripped off when the template is parsed. Please see my original post.

Now I have tried to insert a video from You Tube on a 3.9.2 installation, but it doesn't display it, so I think OOzy has to upgrade to 3.9.3, which seems to be the minimum version supporting this function...

Some additional info : when in the 'literal' tag template, the tag value is unaltered.

Given the following template code :

{section show=ne( $classification, 'html' )}
	<h1>this is not html</h1>
	<pre{section show=ne($classification|trim,'')} class="{$classification|wash}"{/section}>{$content|wash(xhtml)}</pre>
{section-else}
	<h1>this is html</h1>
	{$content}
{/section}
<h1>{$classification}</h1>
<pre>{$content|wash()}</pre>

and the following 'literal' tag value :

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-XzNIUt1dBQ&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-XzNIUt1dBQ&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Here's the output :

<h1>this is html</h1>
<param value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-XzNIUt1dBQ&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param value="true"></param>

<h1>html</h1>
<pre>&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/-XzNIUt1dBQ&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/-XzNIUt1dBQ&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;
</pre>

So :
1) the $content DOES contain the plain value of the 'literal' tag
2) the 'html' $classification value IS there

I've performed an additional test, using the set-block operator to output the value of $content in a template variable, then display it in a <pre> tag :

<h2>Using set-block</h2>
{set-block variable=grabcontent}
	{$content}
{/set-block}
<pre>{$grabcontent}</pre>

The result is the same, the 'object' and 'embed' HTML tags just vanished :

<h2>Using set-block</h2><pre><param value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-XzNIUt1dBQ&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param value="true"></param>
</pre

Hi

Just an update on the solution using Literal Tags, which is great and I have used it for all sorts. But I recently discovered that it does not seem to work using the Online editor and IE7. If the code you cut and paste from YouTube, Google etc contains a "http://..." which it invariably does, ie in the online editor highlights this as a link and when you publish it there are extra <A> </A> tags around all your file references and so doesn't work.

Hi,

I read the articles and know that there is a solution for 3.9 and above.

Does anyone has any idea if there is any solution to add YouTube Object for 3.8?

Thanks!

That was it for me. The code thats washing out <embed> and <object> (but not "param") is in extension/xmlwash/safehtml/safehtml.php at the top. it's also stripping all attributes with the name "name" (in the $attributes array). remove these and at least youtube will work again.

thanks!
