[Xerte] Re: Youtube Probs

You can try replacing the youtube page model with this one https://github.com/thexerteproject/xerteonlinetoolkits/commit/f4ed6bca116b90bacfbc4118258f98c85a13eb5a (click on [Raw] button to get access to the file) and save it to modules/xerte/parent_templates/Nottingham/models_html5/youtube.html

I patched this a few months back to allow schemeless urls like Youtube uses to avoid the cross domain security issue...

I think you're right John,  and youtube appear to have removed the 'https mode' options for the embed code (and manually inserting it in does nothing too).

Its not v2.1 I'm on, but that will be remedied next week hopefully.

Cheers,
Robin.

I think the code may be getting processed correctly but you are actually experiencing the cross domain http/https issue.

Is this the latest v2.1 code you are using?

Meant to say using the code you provided, unchanged.

Hiya,

Thanks for the speedy reply, have tried that and that gives me the same error the 'old' embed code does, a static white box.

Ta,
Robin.

Use the iframe code, and I think you need http before the // in the url

Hi all,

This may have been solved in an update, but I couldn't see anything on the lists - I'm on a relatively updated xerte (html5 mode) but not the latest update.

We're struggling to add youtube clips with both the new iframe and the old embed code that youtube generates;

<object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/_vQvOFOeoOQ?hl=en_US&version=3&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/_vQvOFOeoOQ?hl=en_US&version=3&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

And

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/_vQvOFOeoOQ?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

The xerte object just says "error loading" in the top corner.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Robin.
