Embeding YouTube Video in a news topic?

Is there a way to embed a youtube video in a news topic. I have found other ways with creating new blocks and iframe but each of those look like it would require a seperate block for every video. It would be much easier on my site to put it in as a news topic where visitors and myself can just plug in a code online.

I managed to post a youtube vid on a patched nuke7.9 site by adding the object, embed and param tags to the allowable html array in config.php.

Find in config.php:

Code:

$AllowableHTML = array("b"=>1,"i"=>1,"u"=>1,"div"=>2,"a"=>2,"em"=>1,"br"=>1,"strong"=>1,"blockquote"=>1,"tt"=>1,"li"=>1,"ol"=>1,"ul"=>1);

and add in the three required tags thus:

Code:

$AllowableHTML = array("b"=>1,"i"=>1,"u"=>1,"div"=>2,"a"=>2,"em"=>1,"br"=>1,"strong"=>1,"blockquote"=>1,"tt"=>1,"li"=>1,"ol"=>1,"ul"=>1,"embed"=>2,"object"=>2,"param"=>2);

Then post something like the following in a news article.

Code:

There is also a thread either here or at Karakas forum where I explain how I got a youtube bbcode working so that users can post youtube vids in the Forums.

I have tried that code change on a backup site i am trying witha customized version of 7.9, my original was a bit different than the one that was posted to change

Quote:

$AllowableHTML = array("col"=>2,"td"=>2,"tr"=>2,"hr"=>1,"p"=>1,"font"=>2,"embed"=>2,"font color"=>2,"table"=>2,"b"=>1,"i"=>1,"strike"=>1,"div"=>2,"u"=>1,"a"=>2,"em"=>1,"br"=>1,"strong"=>1,"blockquote"=>1,"tt"=>1,"li"=>1,"ol"=>1,"ul"=>1,"img"=>2,"img src="=>2,);

When i put in the code suggested it actually turned off other features i had available. how would i adjust that code above to embed the video?

Code:

$AllowableHTML = array("col"=>2,"td"=>2,"tr"=>2,"hr"=>1,"p"=>1,"font"=>2,"embed"=>2,"font color"=>2,"table"=>2,"b"=>1,"i"=>1,"strike"=>1,"div"=>2,"u"=>1,"a"=>2,"em"=>1,"br"=>1,"strong"=>1,"blockquote"=>1,"tt"=>1,"li"=>1,"ol"=>1,"ul"=>1,"img"=>2,"img src="=>2,"embed"=>2,"object"=>2,"param"=>2);

It is still not working for me, but i think i have found another way around it. you can add those same 3 html tags (embed, object, param) to the allowable html tags in the message board, and people can post them inside the forum if you knockout the "param" line of the code

I am still gonna try to get it in the news topics though.

I just noticed that you already had the embed tag included in your allowable html array. Try removing the extra one. Maybe thats the problem.

Still no luck. I haven't heard anything else from other posts on other boards if anyone else has any ideas let me know

Code:

$AllowableHTML = array("col"=>2,"td"=>2,"tr"=>2,"hr"=>1,"p"=>1,"font"=>2,"embed"=>2,"font color"=>2,"table"=>2,"b"=>1,"i"=>1,"strike"=>1,"div"=>2,"u"=>1,"a"=>2,"em"=>1,"br"=>1,"strong"=>1,"blockquote"=>1,"tt"=>1,"li"=>1,"ol"=>1,"ul"=>1,"img"=>2,"img src="=>2,"object"=>2,"param"=>2);

that is what it is set at now.
