Youtube iframe not showing, only link is output
Hello,
I am trying to add a youtube video to a blog post. I have set my youtube api key in the config file, and I have added a content field to my post.html:
<perch:blog id="video" type="youtube" width="743" height="387" label="YouTube URL" output="embed" showinfo="0" autoplay="1" modestbranding="1" />
The only thing that is outputting now is the youtube link, no iframe embed.
What am I doing wrong?
Mike
Try
output="html"That also outputs only the youtube link, but I would like to have the iframe embedded video.
Whose YouTube field type are you using?
Sorry, I don't know what you mean by 'whose type'. I am trying to replicate this: https://docs.grabaperch.com/addons/field-types/youtube/
So the answer is you're using mine!
Have you tried with other videos? Does this one allow embedding? Do you see the embedded preview on the edit page?
Yes, I have tried multiple videos, and the video allows embedding. On the edit page I don't see an embedded preview.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem for me?
Hello Mike,
It sounds like the field is being used a
textfield type which is the fallback if you specify a field type that isn't installed. Have you downloaded the field type and added it toperch/addons/fieldtypes? If not, you can download it from hereHave you tried creating an iframe content html then just allow the embedded ie <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MfTbHITdhEI" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> Allowing MFTbHITdHEI as a text in the content html
Are you able to add using URL?best water purifier
