Hello,

I would like to embedd a code looking like this:
<iframe src="http://ec.europa.eu/avservices/play.cfm?ref=I100777&videolang=FR%2FEN&devurl=http://ec.europa.eu/avservices/video/player/config.cfm" id="videoplayerI100777" width="670" height="378" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" webkitAllowFullScreen="true" mozallowfullscreen="true" allowFullScreen="true"></iframe>

and I can not do it by using the CODE block in the content editor. The video is not posted on any of the EMBEDD platforms available in EasyBlog content editor. What other block should I use?

Thank you,
Madalina
Hey Madalina,

Have you tried the "HTML" block? The HTML block is designed for you to embed html codes using the composer

Hi Mark,

I have tried to use the HTML block and it does not work...I mean I manage to get to the part where I paste the code into the block, I then save the post and then when I go to the front end there is no video.
Also there seems to be an error to the blocks tree - when I push the button to see the full tree of blocks they do not appear.
For the HTML block there is no Save button so I am not sure that the editor really has taken in the piece of code I try to embedd.

Please help...and advise...
Madalina

Hi Mada,

Regarding your issue, can you check your EasyBlog ACL for the Joomla group that your account associated and see if the text filtering prevent iframe to insert into your blog content? Please see screencast.com/t/9jejja2l3w1U

If you have 'iframe' added into 'disallowed html tags', you might want to remove iframe from this section so that you or your users can insert iframe tag into your blog content.

Please advise.

Hope this help and have a nice day!
Sam
