Most likely htmlawed filtering. Can't say anything more without knowing what this "simple bit of code" actually is.

Hi Pawel,
Here's the code:

<iframe src="http://iplay4e.appspot.com/view?xsl=fullold&key=agdpcGxheTRlchQLEgtDaGFyYWN0ZXJWMhi0jL1BDA&quot; style="width:970px;border:none; height:645px; padding:0;" frameborder="no"></iframe>

The code is from iplay4e.

Hi Pawel,

Thanks for the link.  I finally got around to looking at it.  It didn't seem to complex but perhaps I'm not understanding how to make changes.  I tried to add iframe to the allowed styles but it seems to have made no difference.  I've read the documents and the message thread referenced in the link you provided but it's not clear what exactly I need to change.  I don't know if I'm just missing something or if something wrong so before I spend hours trying to figure out what I did wrong I thought I'd ask if you could help.

The only tag I need to add is iframe.  I'd really appreciate a nudge in the right direction.

Thanks!

@bullywug You can use hypeEmbed plugin for it. Read notes

Hi RvR,

I looked at the page you linked to and I downloaded both hypeEmbed and ECML, removed the "master" from the directory names (that's what I've been told to do in the past) and installed the mods with ECML above HypeEmbed in the list.  I'm not sure what I did wrong but I can't tell if anything changed.  I've tried using the HTML button to enter the code and I've tried the embed option as well.  Do you have any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.

In first, hypeEmbed is available on Comminity.

For iFraming URLs, you need to read these notes:

• Iframely allows their servers to be used for development and non-profit purposes. If you are operating a for-profit website, create a self-hosted instance of Iframely and change the Gateway URL in the plugin settings - http://iframely.com/
• If you do not want to use Iframely, use 'output:src','embed' hook that receives the URL parameter, and supply back the desired HTML markup obtained from another oEmbed or similar extraction service

Also, activate (or check it) File and Embed bundled plugins.

Thanks RvR.  I'll go post over on the community page.  There's something wrong with the plugin on my site.  I had read the passage you quoted but I had misunderstood what it was trying to say because the plugin's settings page on my installation is blank.  Go figure.
