Can you put videos from www.viddler.com up on a forum?

[PeteV]

You can insert youtube films & daily motion, but I can't find an obvious way to up viddler films on a post. Is there a work around I can use as not only would it be useful to me, but I know I'll get asked at some point.
Whether it's possible or not thanks in advance for taking the time to take a look at this!

Only way at the moment is to enable html in your forum then copy/paste the embed code directly onto a forum post

[PeteV]

Oh no I'm going to sound like an idiot now, but how do you enable HTML on your forum?

General > Messages and emails > Configuration

There is a tick box that says "Allow HTML", if you click on yes and save, you will get html working on your forum.

It seems to work when you preview, but then it just comes up as

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="437" height="340" id="viddler"><param name="movie" value="http://www.viddler.com/simple_on_site/8eaefbdb" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="flashvars" value="fake=1"/><embed src="http://www.viddler.com/simple_on_site/8eaefbdb" width="437" height="340" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" flashvars="fake=1" name="viddler" ></embed></object>

when you post the code?

[hannahl3]

Yes, first make sure that html is enabled as described above, then preview your forum post when you should see both the post as it will appear, and the code itself. On 'send'ing the post, just the embedded video should appear. The code will still be there if you hit 'edit', but thats so you can play around with the settings.
Also, make sure that your flash player is up to date

[PeteV]

Nope the embedded video appears in the preview fine, but it's when you send it that it just goes to:

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="437" height="340" id="viddler"><param name="movie" value="http://www.viddler.com/simple_on_site/8eaefbdb" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="flashvars" value="fake=1"/><embed src="http://www.viddler.com/simple_on_site/8eaefbdb" width="437" height="340" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" flashvars="fake=1" name="viddler" ></embed></object>

That is on the actually page when you send it, on the preview it looks like an embedded video clip - it's weird?

Do this:

There is a tick box that says "Allow HTML", if you click on yes and save, you will get html working on your forum.

and when you post and uncheck this option : Disable HTML in this post

Did that

[Guest]

And still not working
try this : go in your profil (use this link http://your forum adress//profile.forum?mode=editprofile&page_profil=preferences ) and go to this option Always allow HTML : YES => Save

[PeteV]

Yay! You are a star! That's the one! Just done a test in the mod section & it worked fine! Huge thanks for taking the time to dig away sorting that out - it wasn't vital, but was kind of bugging (if you know what I mean).
So does that mean no one else will have an issue posting videos like that now, or will they all have to do something with their profiles to be able to post viddler videos & other non-youtube stuff like that?
Thought I'd better check before we mark this done.

must work to all new members for older members, will need to make this change in profile

[PeteV]

OK I'll bookmark this page so if older members ask I can go through it. Thanks again for going to all the effort (& being a clever techie type generally ). Glad to know there's someone to ask if you get stuck (which is fairly easy for me when on a computer

PROBLEM SOLVED!

Since this thread appears to be solved, I will lock this thread and mark it as solved.
