hi,
i am trying to embed quicktime movies into a clients typolight website (they insist on quicktime!)
The only way i thought to do this would be to paste the code exported by quicktime into a custom html code module or element.
However, in both module and element mode, typolight is stripping out the embed code and only leaving the param code as below. This is stopping the quicktime movie showing or playing -
ORIGINAL CODE
<!--
QT_WritePoster_XHTML('Click to Play', 'tl_files/music_academy/friday%20night%20live-poster.jpg',
'tl_files/music_academy/friday%20night%20live.mov',
'500', '301', '',
'controller', 'true',
'autoplay', 'true',
'bgcolor', 'black',
'scale', 'aspect');
//-->
<object width="500" height="301" classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">
<param name="src" value="tl_files/music_academy/friday%20night%20live-poster.jpg" />
<param name="href" value="tl_files/music_academy/friday%20night%20live.mov" />
<param name="target" value="myself" />
<param name="controller" value="true" />
<param name="autoplay" value="true" />
<param name="scale" value="aspect" />
<embed width="500" height="301" type="video/quicktime" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"
src="tl_files/music_academy/friday%20night%20live-poster.jpg"
href="tl_files/music_academy/friday%20night%20live.mov"
target="myself"
controller="false"
autoplay="false"
scale="aspect">
</embed>
</object>
STRIPPED OUT CODE AFTER SAVING IN EITHER A CUSTOM HTML CODE MODULE OR ELEMENT.
<!--

'tl_files/music_academy/friday%20night%20live.mov',

'controller', 'true',
'autoplay', 'true',
'bgcolor', 'black',
'scale', 'aspect');
//-->
<object width="500" height="301" classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">
<param name="src" value="tl_files/music_academy/friday%20night%20live-poster.jpg" />
<param name="href" value="tl_files/music_academy/friday%20night%20live.mov" />
<param name="target" value="myself" />
<param name="controller" value="true" />
<param name="autoplay" value="true" />
<param name="scale" value="aspect" />
</object>
i.e. no embed code in the last example.
Basically, is there a way to paste the code that quicktime spits out into typolight, so that no code is stripped out?
As the client will add movies in the future, i can't expect them to start digging into code just to show a movie.
Any help would be great.
thanks in advance,
regards,
Dave
