Embedding Youtube Video in Wire

Guys

I am trying to understand embedding videos on the wire.....

Now in the screenshot, you can see, that I was able to embed on the wire if I comment on someone's link, but if I directly publish the link, it does not work...

I had also installed iZap video plugin and its supposed to embed videos...but its not working...

I have installed cUrl, but still is not updating....

And truth be told, by reading the documentation, I don't understand how to use the feature,

for in tidypics you can go to /photos and even though there is some bug - as it throws error whenever I click on the picture,

i don't get the link I should go to upload videos....

  • This will not work because htmlawed.

    You must use custom plugins, e.g.: 1, 2

    My plugin allows to add iframe, audio, video in content and choose the denied attributes via settings.

  • I am getting the following error when I install thewirepro.....

    The Wirepro/Bootstrap must implement Elgg\PluginBootstrapInterface

    I think it has to be updated to Version 5.1....

    Or can I find some workaround by just implementing the interface....or better wait for the update

     

    • Could not activate Thewirepro. Error: Thewirepro\Bootstrap must implement Elgg\PluginBootstrapInterface

     

     

    I have also installed elgg hooks....

    But can you guide me on how to allow youtube video in content...

    for it has two sections...

    Code and scripts in the header (before <body>)

    Code and scripts in the footer (before </body>)

     

     

    and then, this...Select HTML attributes to deny on inputs

    So what should I write to deny htmlwwed

  • Right, all the plugins I mentioned don't work for Elgg 5. I just wanted to show that you need some custom plugin.

    Elgg Hooks plugin is not for your case, but you can use it to insert iframes and media content, for example in blogs.

    Although oEmbed plugin also does this for some sites.
