Hello. (First of all, I put the message in the other forum by mistake. I think this is the correct place.)
Im advising a University department to buy this pack (freeway and webyep) to build their sites, but there are two questions I dont know to answer:
How can the webyep user add or change videos from youtube? The web will have a videos section, and the user need to be able to actualized them.
How can they put the news in their facebook? Ill try to explain: In some webs, you can push a button that automatically put the text in the web into your facebook wall.
Is this possible?. Ihave been searching the forum, and dont find the answer.
For both, cause there are at least “embed codes” you can use the “RichText Element” including a RichText Editor to do. The YouTube I definitely just throw in as tests and it works like a charm - the facebook open spoken I haven’t tested yet - but as shot in the dark: it’ll work very similar. (When I later have some time I’ll test it for you and come back with a link)
For one the YouTube it is no problem at all, the second is much more a problem cause you’ll need much more then simple lines of code in a richtext-editor.
For all those socialites it is important to put as well some scripts in the which is at that stage not webyepable.
But out of my experience, Max will have for sure a solution or in the worst case scenario an answer why it is not possible at all.
So it would be good to give him a quick note (and please keep us stay informed here if you got a solution).
I paste here Waltd answers in the other thread, to keep all together.
I’ve mailed Max. Waiting for his help…

If you want to put a YouTube video within a larger block of text, and you’re using one of the WYSIWYG editors for the larger block of text, then there’s usually a little [html] button in the toolbar where you can paste live code like this directly into the interpreted code. If you’re asking a client to do this, then it’s probably a recipe for disaster, and you should go down the path of Ask Max…

You’ll have to ask Max to be sure. Whatever you do, make certain that the WY element you use is not “interpreting” the HTML you paste into it in any way, and that when it plays back on the page, it does so in the context of a DIV or another block-level tag that can have an iframe as its direct child. You don’t want a P to be wrapped around your iframe code, because that’s not valid and browsers will do all sorts of funky and unpredictable things when the “fix” that for you.

YouTube can give you a snippet of code that creates an iframe with a particular movie in it. You simply paste that code inline in the WebYep editing interface, and the movie will appear. You won’t have any layout control over it per se, but it will appear on the page.
thank you Waltd, but which webyep element do you use for it? a long text?
Hello! Ive tried with several elements to embed videos with webyep, and rich text is the best. You dont need to configure the editor, just with the code pasted in the box, it works. Works with iframe code from youtube or vimeo and with javascript from streaming server aswell.
