Looking for a way to embed a video player into blog article ?
Very simple and easy to do within K2 via the 'media' tab but there is no method in standard article.
When I insert code (toggle editor or via html code button) the player does not embed.

So first question... can a blog be set up within K2 ?

How to enable video embeding within standard article

Cheers

Hello friend....install video plugins.... enable it.....than will works without any problem.... example from youtube you need just the link to add it via editor or old html-code to put inside your article.
When you set via editor dont forget to scroll type: realmedia in 2.5 and in 1.5 will it show as flash....
Cheers....

send url from your site.

Hi Kosovari
Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately I have had no luck even after installing the all videos plugin by Joomla works and enabling it
Unfortunately I can not get a video to play with the article blog of Bike Store.

What has made it worse is one of the site users had cut and pasted text straight from microsoft word so it is littered with code modifying text, size and fonts which goes against the style of the site (I thought the bike store css would over ride the code within an article but this is not the case !!!!)

Back to the no video issue, when the code is inserted into the article (via either toggle editor or html code buttton, the title of the video is on the only thing that displays.

I am guessing the embed code function (from you-tube or vimeo) needs to be modified to sit within the article blog code ???

Any other suggestions ???
