Embedding facebook videos..

I seem to have some trouble with this..

There are many videos on facebook that I try to put in my forum with an embed code, and it just shows me a coded script and not the video...
Am I doing something wrong?



Thank you for your time.  

Do you have HTML on for the forum and in your profile?

Yes I do.
The html actually has a configuration on the posts that if you click it, it doesn't make html work.. that is unchecked, and in my profile it is checked.. so I guess that my settings are correct.

Please post the code for the video in the code tags.

This is what I have...

Please post just the code here in the code tags.

Sorry..  

<div id="fb-root"></div> <script>(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
<div class="fb-post" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=542876499097750" data-width="466"><div class="fb-xfbml-parse-ignore"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=542876499097750">Post</a> by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/aldo.silva.9085">Aldo Silva</a>.</div></div>

Are you sure that is the correct code, because I do not see anything about a video.

When I tried this in a HTML page, I got just this:

If you check my first picture you can see I had the same thing (with some unknown extra codes changed by the forum..

Original facebook code:

Code previewed in my forum:

I mean are you sure that is the correct code to use to share videos from Facebook.  Also did the video on Facebook exactly have a way to share it?

This is the embed option I have from facebook..


edit:

I also found these interesting codes from facebook... but they also didn't work on my forum..

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

So when you pressed the embed link and the pop up box appeared, you copied and pasted that code in your forum?

Exactly that. 
Did you check the 2 spoilers I have on my last edited message?
Maybe you can understand them.. I know I can't.. 

I was going to say that the code looked like a JavaScript code.

My thoughts exactly SLGray.. that's why I came to you guys to help me out.. maybe with a Java code or something..
I have no idea of Javascripts and how they work..

Hello Menos,

The problem comes from the inline <script> tag, it is not allowed to format. This isn't a bad thing as it prevents spammers and such from posting malicious code on your forum. You can of course make these videos work by doing the following :
Administration panel > Modules > JavaScript codes management

Create a new script :

Title : your choice
Placement : In all the pages
Paste the code below and submit :

Code:

(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));

Then remove the script from your HTML so you have :

Code:

<div id="fb-root"></div>
<div class="fb-post" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=542876499097750" data-width="466"><div class="fb-xfbml-parse-ignore"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=542876499097750">Post</a> by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/aldo.silva.9085">Aldo Silva</a>.</div></div>

Your idea worked like a charm!
