Bug?? iFrames get stripped out despite settings...

[thibodeaux]

I am trying to embed a youtube video into a news article and every time I put the new youtube embed code in the html edit window and click update, it disappears. the code is:

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/lAbLnRj6Wys" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I have enabled the tag <iframe> in the "Allowed HTML tags" settings but it still gets stripped out.

I have tested this on 3 different installs, all running 2.9.3 and get the same results. What gives?

When you say "In the HTML Edit Window", so you mean TinyMCE's HTML edit window?

Did you allow iFrame as a tag in the settings page?

Hey Guys,

Yes, that's what I mean "TinyMCE's HTML edit window", and yes as I said, in the "Allowed HTML tags" settings on the settings page I added <iframe> to the list, I even confirmed that it is in the localconfig.php file, but the tag still gets stripped out of my html when I click the update button in the editor. I am seeing this exact behavior on several sites that we run.

Thanks,
Greg

You may have overlooked the link in Medianomoly's post

Specifically the very last post -- it shows the TinyMCE configuration settings you need to change, and where to find the file that it's in.

That's why I asked. The settings you changed don't apply to TinyMCE. But if you added your code to, say, an "HTML" content element, you would see your changes reflected.

I have an easier way to accomplish this. As long as you don't mind having it as a lightbox...

Search in the extension repository for iframe and it will return a module called Content_Popups. You can use that content module to build a "lightbox" iframe, specify the youtube url embedded code, give it the same frame width/height. The video will will popup in a lightbox, with the option to full screen.

You'll build the module in an article as a content element, and not in the modules section.
