Show Video on homepage from other website

My idea is to embedd a video from another website on the homepage in a videobox. Anybody who has a tips?

Page builder > homepage > insert html block, click on _html block to open it ...rename as you see fit, change the visability for guest or member if you want....then click on html in editor and insert embed code from your prefered video site for example:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZgvqmEU9kuw&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZgvqmEU9kuw&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

save, job done.....thats the simple way of inserting a video directly into your homepage.

Thank's. However, when i place the code for a x.swf movie i the HTML-block it looks perfect at the preview but after saving the code everything is gone. Id did it again and everything is gone. Seems that it has something to do about write permissions or?

Maybe your using Internet explorer??........ it wont save it although it says it has.

Firefox works smoothly for this process.

I have placed a youtube video directly on my homepage using a html box. www.av-techonline.com

I am also using an AntonLV mod on my profiles page which allows you too put youtube and html pages etc in 'profiles' it works well. Any such 'pages' can be shared with other members on there profiles.

I don't get it. I can paste the html code in the 'block', I can preview it and it looks the way I want it. But after saving

the html code is gone in the block. It seems that the code is not written down on my host server.

By the way Stuart038, awesome site!

How did you add the Google Map?

You can use phpMyAdmin and save your html code there.

Look at http://www.google.com/uds/solutions/wizards/  to build your own map, must have a api key for it...but you can find it all there.

Insert the code into a _Html block, and there you go  :)

I got the code from Google, I pasted it in the html-block and it only shows 'Loading...' and after that I can only see the maps zoom in/out control. I have been wrestling with problem for some time now. A Google expert took a look at it and he sad that "It's tough to say what's going on without being able to see the server-side programming, etc.  The error messages displayed at the top of the page are from the backend php; the HTML and JS you pasted are not being printed to the browser."

I'm running the latest version of Dolphin and I had to make a change in the BxDolPageViewAdmin file (you can find it in inc/classes) where I modified the line:

<input type="submit" value="Save"> to <input type="submit" value="Save" onclick="tinyMCE.triggerSave(true,true)"; />. After that I could save down the html-code to the page. I’m pretty sure that the code is correct but there is something else on the server.

I have made a test, grab the code form youtube.com, made html box on the frontpage (for guest only) save it and it work into 2 minutes.  With Firefox.

With Firefox a can't login as admin - IE works fine! I'm sory to tell that the 'here' link goes to nothing.

theres your problem.... IE just wont work properly when saving blocks.

Im using Safari for admin with no problems.

Finaly, I pasted the code with Firefox and the map is there. I have riped my hair appart for almost 14 days now. Thanks!

This topic jumped from Videos to maps. I have tried embedding videos using IE and FF, but every time I save, the video is gone. When trying to edit the code isn't even there sometimes.
