How to put YouTube into your CS Blog

I was trying to get a YouTube video in one of my blogs today and ran into a few troubles. After some googling, and changes to config files I got it working.

For anyone else who's looking at how to do this here it is.

Modify your communityserver.config file, in the markup/html section add the following.

    <embed
    style="true"
    type="true"
    src="true"
    quality="true"
    bgcolor="true"
    scale="true"
    wmode="true"
    salign="true"
    FlashVars="true"
    width="true"
 height="true"  />
   
   <object
    width="true"
    height="true"    />
   <param
    name="true"
    value="true"    />

Don't forget to hit your web.config file after making the above changes. Warning, you're opening up your site to allow users to post content you may not want them to be able to post. This is for CommunityServer 2.0, I haven't tested for other versions.

  • so how does one find this communityserver.config ?

    no idea what "Don't forget to hit your web.config file after making the above changes. Warning, you're opening up your site to allow users to post content you may not want them to be able to post. This is for CommunityServer 2.0, I haven't tested for other versions." means.

    I'm a n00b, but I know html and css.

    thanks

  • You are the man!! - I searched hi and low for a fix for this, I tried Scott W's module, I tried the CSMVP Cinnabar module, nothing worked, I can't believe it was that simple.

    You rock!!

  • Thanks Chris! This worked perfectly for me on my blog, CS version 3.0.20611.960.
