I am wondering how I can include a streaming video as part of my registration process. I am using JWplayer so this means <script> tags. There is no "Video" field type. However, in the past when I have needed some custom HTML in the registration process I have used a Text field that uses a lnaguage override, and placed the custom HTML in the language override text. This DOES NOT work for the <script> tag needed for the streaming video. Other ideas?
Nevermind, I figured it out. You have to past the <script> .... </script> code in then IMMEDIATELY save the custom profile. Switching to any other tab of the profile field widget will delete the code.

Well, I solved it, but I think its a bug that the custom fields screen will delete the text for the field unless you click the green Save button immediately after entering the text. I have seen it both in the Text Field element and the HTML element.

Hi Norske,

By default if you added a text field into your profile type, user will need to enter the value themself. However, I do able to replicate this issue on html custom field. I will log this issue into our bug tracker and we will provide the proper fix in the next release of EasySocial.

Thanks again for reporting this issue to us.
Have a nice day!
