Motoring Alliance has a pretty nifty plugin if I do say so myself that allows you to very easily embed many videos from many sources right into your posts. Vimeo Vimeo videos are very easy to embed into a post. One simply needs the video URL. Once obtained just paste that URL in the post. You do not need to wrap the URL with any Tags, the system will handle that automatically. Example URL: Code: http://vimeo.com/45677704 Do not use the share link for the video, this will wrap the simple URL with HTML code which is not allowed on the site for security issues. YouTube Update 12/20/12...The instructions have changed, please see post #3 below. Thanks to ScottinBend for pointing out that YouTube made a change.
Yes, our friends at YouTube made changes making this more difficult. To embed a YouTube video now the process is a bit of a pain in the ass. When viewing a video select share this video, you will now see a link such as: Code: http://youtu.be/Umcr6R0_C4o Now that needs to be pasted in the address bar of you browser, then hit enter. You will see it transform into code such as: Code: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Umcr6R0_C4o&feature=youtu.be But to get it to work some of the URL need to removed as noted below. Basically the items from ampersand (&) to the end of the URL need to be removed. Code: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Umcr6R0_C4o That results in the below displaying. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Umcr6R0_C4o]iPhone 4 HD Video Sample - YouTube[/ame] Note: There may be some instances where the http:// will be https:// This should not be an issue as I have created a definition for the https:// versions. However if the video does not embed just remove the s.
I think they may have changed it again. I just pressed share this video copied the link, pasted it in and it worked!!
