YouTube Videos?

I need to allow users to enter YouTube videos. I don't see a feature for that, and am wondering if I'm missing it. Tried the flash feature, couldn't seem to get it to work that way.

I can add this feature myself by turning a YouTube url in to embed code behind the scenes during form processing.

Before I do that, I thought I'd check to see if I'm missing the solution that's already been implemented.

Thank you much!

Re: YouTube Videos?

Ok, I've downloaded the YouTube plugin, and copied all the files to the ckeditor/plugins folder.

Then I tried to call the plugin from the page with command "youtube". Not working.

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, as I don't really understand how to install plugins. Many searches of forum and docs hasn't uncovered a "how to install plugins" tutorial.

Thanks for your tips, appreciate it.

Re: YouTube Videos?

Oops, the download I got didn't contain the install instructions. Had to dig a bit. Here are install instructions in case some other reader should need them.

-----------------------------------------

Plugin created by Latruwski
Project page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ckeditoryoutube/

Installation:

1. Extract the youtube folder to ckeditor/ckeditor/plugins
2. Modify the ckeditor.config.js add 'youtube' to config.extraPlugins

for example:
config.extraPlugins = 'youtube';

3. Modify the ckeditor.config.js add 'Youtube' to the toolbar

for example:
config.toolbar_DrupalFiltered =
[

['Source'],

['Cut','Copy','Paste','PasteText','PasteFromWord','-','SpellChecker', 'Scayt'],

['Undo','Redo','Find','Replace','-','SelectAll','RemoveFormat'],

['Image','Flash','Youtube','Table','HorizontalRule','Smiley','SpecialChar'],

['Maximize', 'ShowBlocks'],

'/',

['Format'],

['Bold','Italic','Underline','Strike','-','Subscript','Superscript'],
