Hello everyone, I joined here a while ago but I'm just about to post a question so thought I'd say hello first.

Hello Dawn and a belated welcome to the site!

Post away!

Might be worth adding your name to your profile signature bar (just edit your profile) as it saves people keeping looking it up and if you give a bit of background about yourself it might help anyone posting answers so we don't give you too little or two much info for your knowledge base.

Enjoy the site!

Hi Dawn,

welcome to the site.

Rather than just saying hello though could you also say a little about yourself. Doesn't have to be a lot, just things like which professional body you are with and how much experience you have as it helps people to gear answers towards the individual. Last thing that you want is some conveluted nightmare of an answer if you are just starteing out or just as bad, a Peter and Jane level answer if you are a chartered.

Why am I now thinking of Jerry Maguire where he is going "Help me, to help you" lol

Cuba Goodings face is priceless in that

I'd guess it's Youtube embed.

The method used by the forum software works for people with Flash installed, but not people without it; instead we see that blank square.

Youtube can happily use HTML5 for video for people without Flash (people like me who remove it because it's a security sieve, or anyone who has an iPad or iPhone because the late Steve Jobs banned it from them from the start) - but for some reason (using an old API?) the embedding via the button in the forum's advanced editor only produces a Flash version.

I haven't tried it on this site - when I tried embedding a Youtube video recently, I spotted the problem and just changed it to a link - but an alternative way to embed might be to switch to the HTML editor (tab, top right of the advanced editor) and get Youtube to generate the link itself via the share button under the video.

Oh yeah, a new person: Hello, etc.

Actually, I just saw the full version of that scene and I think that its more apt for the regular contributors on here :

www.youtube.com/watch

So, Vince.

How does this work.

You go to Youtube and hit share then clcik the share to live journal?

I get this generated

On the site I go from Visual to HTML mode where currently I have :

What do I need to change in the original to incorporate the generated bit? Is it a matter of simply replacing video=www.youtube.com/watch with data-link="www.youtube.com/watch

Or is there more to it?

... Give me mainframes any day of the week, I know my way around control language mainframes.

Like I said, I haven't tried to embed a video using the 'Share' button on Google, but let me try now...

 

Okay. That didn't work - and I think I can guess why.

The method you should theoretically use is:

  • On here, on the 'Advanced editor' screen, click the 'HTML' tab
  • On Youtube, click on the 'Share' button, then on the 'Embed' tab (not the Livejournal thing), set a few options if you like, then copy the link.
  • Back to here, paste the link.

That'll produce something that looks like this:

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/Mzfc9rjow9g" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

This is what I used to do when embedding Youtube videos in websites. (However, I now tend to stick to embedding links because the Youtube embeds - especially if there are a few - slow down the initial opening/rendering of the page).

However, when I just tried it here, the whole iFrame tag pair - and therefore all sign of the embed - disappeared.

I suspect the forum software may restrict the use of some html tags - such as iFrame. In which case, it's best to just post the link to the page.
