Hi,

I have installed a youtube addon for the FCKeditor. When using the submit_news module the line for youtube is stripped after the preview. I tried to solve this by changing the $allowedhtml but I can't get it to work.

In html this should be added into the news post (example):

Code:

You don't need any mods to embed Youtube videos in news. Just click the source button and insert the embed code youtube gives you where you want it to appear and click the source button to return to the editor mode.

example

Code:

would be directly entered into the article after you have hit the source button.

When I do this it is also removed after hitting the preview button. I'm talking about the submit_news module for users, not de admin possibility to add news.

giving users access to the <embed> tag is not a good idea from a security perspective.

If it were me, I would just have them include the URL to the video, and then add the embed code when I approve the submission.

Mmmmm. yet another reason to move on to HTML Purifier!

BTW, the embed tag is ot standard, I mean, not approved by the W3C and using it will result in not compliant code... Something like this code should be used instead...

Code:

Also, for this functionality be available to users you must change allowed htm array adding the desired tags and parameters.

When I arrive home I can tell you what I have exactly done myself to accomplish this

If someone can tell me what to add to the allowedhtml? I can change to original plugin for the right code, to be compliant with W3C

Open... rnconfig.php

Find, somewhere close to line 152...

Code:

$AllowableHTML = array(

at the end add...

Code:

'object' => array('type' => 1, 'data' => 1, 'width' => 1, 'height' => 1),
'param' => array('name' => 1, 'value' => 1),

And here's a real code example used in the news...

Code:

Behaves the same and do not break compliance
