mash

hey guys goo day. i have a problem; anytime i post a youtube video url on my forum it shows the video in a very small size and the video is shown like 5-6 times. do you guys have any solution to this problem?

camo

How did you post it? did you insert embed code or link?

in your file /conf/config-defaults.php

do you have

$Configuration['Garden']['Format']['YouTube']                   = TRUE;

check this setting, same file..

$Configuration['Garden']['Format']['EmbedSize']                 = 'normal'; // tiny/small/normal/big/huge or WIDTHxHEIGHT

mash

yeah they are all set. i keep getting this tiny windows of the videos, about two or three and some codes written under dem

type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"
width="425" height="344">

and so on like dat

camo

Not sure whats doing that, but if your seeing

type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" 
width="425" height="344">

Id say your missing some of the embed code, a bracket probabley ( < )

Are you trying to do this using a youtube link or posting embed code?

can you link your forum please?

This is the link to my forum. http://www.nairation.com

i tried using both the embed link and the video url

stil gave me same thing

camo

I tested embedding direct on your forum

You should see a lizard video, not the raw code. Im not sure whats doing that, but from what ive experienced of vanilla so far, It could be anything at all.

First check in config/config.php for this line

$Configuration['HtmlPurifier']['HTML']['SafeEmbed'] = TRUE;

If yours is the same then read more...

I think you should backup your mysql database (here's how)

http://www.devshed.com/c/a/MySQL/Backing-up-and-restoring-your-MySQL-Database/4/

download your entire forum directory folder (so you can re-upload any customisations you might have made later)

then do a fresh install with the latest version (read carefully)

http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/17371/vanilla-2.0.18-rc2-released/p1

good luck friend.

mash

$Configuration['HtmlPurifier']['HTML']['SafeEmbed'] = TRUE;

mine is false

mash

now it shows only once but with dat same thing on below

camo

When I post youtube embed code it only showed once, but raw code, not the video.

If you changed that to true, Go to cache folder, and delete all files ending in .ini

then put this in your browser and go

You should see blue page with 'Success'.

Then clear your browser cache, and try posting a youtube embed code. If no video appears, I suggest a reinstall like my last post. If you back up your mysql database and save your entire vanilla installation FIRSt, then you wont lose any members or post and any plugins will still be there.

when you post video, are you posting the whole embed code like this?

<object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/F0nkBNicJZM?version=3&hl=en_GB&rel=0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/F0nkBNicJZM?version=3&hl=en_GB&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></object>
