Posting videos using the CKEditor (HTML) editor
Note: You can change which editor you use for the forum in your "
My Profile" settings
This is a step-by-step guide how to embed YouTube videos into your forum posts, the process should be similar for other types of online videos:
1. Go to YouTube and find the video you want to embed.
2. On the page where the video plays you should see an option which says "Share", click it.
3. You should now see an option which says "Embed", click it.
4. It will now display some HTML code that looks like this:
Code:
<iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/RRb_3hCa72Y?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
5. Copy this code [Select Edit->Copy from your browser menu].
6. You now have the code necessary to embed a video, so now go to JoaquinPhoenix.com
7. Make a new post (or edit an old one).
8. If you are using the CKEditor (HTML) you will see a button called "Source", it looks like this:
Click the Source button.
9. This will now display the HTML source for your post. Paste the code you copied from YouTube into the appropriate part of the HTML in your post [Select Edit->Paste from your browser menu]
10. If you now press the "Source" button again it will return to normal editing mode, you should now hopefully see the video embedded in the editor window. Like this:
10. Press the "Post" button to commit your changes.
11. Hopefully you'll now see your post with the video embedded, however on some browsers the embedded video doesn't show up unless you now refresh the page, so do this if necessary.
