@PWaddict: Yes it is a textarea with an Inputfield Type of CKEditor

Is the Content Type: Markup/HTML? If you have that too then I'm not sure why it's not properly working for you. Maybe another installed module causing this issue.

Attached a screengrab of the field setup screen.

Not sure if it matters, but when I tried to do the standard install of the module via Module Class Name, I got some weird errors from PW site, so, I installed it manually.

It is listed in the modules list and I can access the settings so I am assuming the manual install went ok. I think I will uninstall then reinstall the module and see if that helps.

Uninstalled the module then tried to reinstall using the Module Class Name but got the following error:

I will do a manual install again.

5 years late but just want to say thanks for this module! I would prefer to use just the CKEditor media button but I had issues installing that.

Remove the link and it should kick in again. Needs to just be plain text. 

[benbyf]

... not sure thats a fix. do you mean dont use the CKEditor or within a CKeditor field delete the link and paste in again, as i tried that and did not work

[cb2004]

Yes delete the link from the ckeditor field. If it is an <a href to the YouTube video it will not embed.

Dummy question here:

If I wanted the plugin to add a specific player parameter to all youtube shortlinks (e.g. enablejsapi=1) where would be the best place to add this?
I changed line 170 to:

"&format=json&maxwidth={$this->maxWidth}&maxheight={$this->maxHeight}&enablejsapi=1&html5=1";

but since the oembed?url gets rewritten by youtube I'm not sure this is working. Any pointers?

Cheers guys!

Use the Global Options for Embedded YouTube/Vimeo Videos module to add player parameters.

What's the current method for getting this to work with CKEditor?
I can't turn off HTML Purifier, or ACF.

This module is a textformatter, so it doesn't write anything to the CKEditor field. As long as you can insert a link URL into your field as text without interference from HTML Purifier then there shouldn't be any problem.

[renobird]

Thanks Robin,

It works fine with a textarea that isn't using CKEditor, and since it appears that the <iframe> tags are being stripped out; I figured it was a CKEditor issue.

There shouldn't be any iframe tags involved - you simply insert the URL to the video (not an embed snippet or anything like that) in a new paragraph in your CKEditor field.

[renobird]

The textformatter adds the iframe, that's how the embed works. At least it used to, I'll check the code again.

[Robin S]

I might be wrong, but my understanding is that the ACF/Purifier settings for a CKEditor field only affect content that goes through the CKEditor inputfield and is then saved to the database.

A textformatter on the other hand never saves its changes to the database and it isn't involved with the inputfield - it just makes changes on-the-fly as the content is output to the front-end.

Another thought: if you have multiple textformatters applied, check to see if the order they are applied makes a difference.

[renobird]

Yeah, that's right. At least that's my understanding as well. I just can't figure out why it won't work with CKEditor, even when it's the only textFormatter. I thought perhaps there was some other interaction with CKEditor that I was missing. Maybe that's not the issue at all. I'm stumped. I'll try a fresh install and work my way backwards.

@renobird the url must be written in its own line, only surrounded by <p>paragraph tags</p>. Have you checked this too?

[flydev]

What @horst said.

Also I got the same issue two days ago while I was trying to insert Facebook video in CKEditor. I needed to add this line to the Extra Allowed Content field to support iframe with HTML Purifier On: iframe[src,title,width,height,allowfullscreen,frameborder]

Not actually the same issue - this module doesn't insert iframe (or any other code) into the RTE field. It's a textformatter, so it converts the youtube "view" URL into an iframe embedded URL on page load (frontend) only.

[renobird]

Definitely on it's own line. Surrounding <p> tags are there. Everything checks out, and yet — *crickets*

I appreciate you all confirming it's not CKEditor related. I'll explore other options.

[PWaddict]

@renobird Are you trying this on localhost or server? You should try both with the same installation.

[renobird]

Just wanted to report back in case I can save anyone else an hour or so.

After bashing my head against this I finally tracked it down to domain restrictions on some of the Vimeo videos.
In my test env I was using Youtube and Vimeo links from my personal account (no embed restrictions).
In production we were using Vimeo links from a colleagues account — they all had domain restrictions set.

Removed the restrictions, and waddya know, it works just fine.

Hi all. This has been driving me nuts: I've used this module previously and it worked perfectly. I've got it on 2 sites, but music-related. One works normally; I use the textformatter on the body text and videos display fine. The other only works if it's a Vimeo video; YouTube URLs slow the page loading then only displays the URL. I've tried a number of tests and different URLs and I can't figure this out. Both sites are not new and I'm pretty sure that it used to work where now it doesn't.

Here are two samples (they are past gigs, so I can play around with them without messing up the live sites):

Works: https://waveneyvalleyfolkcollective.co.uk/events/kirsty-merryn-jack-harris/

Doesn't Work: http://www.burstoncrown.com/events/sunday-sessions/falling-from-trees/

Any suggestions?

[artaylor]

@strandoo Not sure if this would help, but I notice you are using the short form url on the second example (that does not work) of https://youtu.be/LBY12usmYAA, have you tried using the actual youtube url (which I cannot link to here because it embeds the video)?
