TOPIC: Videos in comments

Is there anyway to allow users to embed youtube videos in the comments themselves? I tried to use the embed code but it just shows "Character problem. empty comment". I have some of my DIY videos up on youtube and I want to display them on my website as comments. How can I do this? Thanks.

We can parse videos using allvideos plugin, that you can download from joomla extensions site.

Thanks Daniel! You're awesome, I really appreciate you taking the time to answer questions for us!

I just have one more question, and I think this will be it and my site will be 100% done. I took your advice and installed allvideos on my site. I got it to work in the articles but not in the comments themselves, all that shows up is {youtube}file_name{/youtube}. The video itself does not. Any idea of how I could get this last thing to work?


Thank you for your help.

Is the video showing after reload?

What do you mean after reload? If I refresh the page it always just shows the code and not the video, only the code... I don't understand what to do. Thanks for your help.

Which version of jocomment are you using? 3.26?

yes it is 3.26. What did you mean after reload? Thanks

Maybe I have some settings wrong somewhere but I cannot find what I am doing wrong.

and you are sure you are using the allvideos plugin? Can you give me a link to the autor site to see if you use the right plugin.

AllVideos allows you to embed online streaming videos inside your content items as well as your own video or audio content that resides either on your server or some remote server. For example, you can use YouTube to upload your videos and then embed them inside your site using the easy AllVideos tags, without consuming your server's bandwidth or having to spend money on expensive video conversion software! Or you can choose to stream/play directly from your server any type of video or audio content uploaded.

AllVideos is a Joomla! plugin developed by JoomlaWorks and released under the GNU General Public License.

The version is for 1.0.x because I am running my site in Legacy 1.0 because many of my extensions need this. Should I use allvideos reloaded?

Oops, I'm sorry! I ment all videos reloaded: allvideos.fritz-elfert.de/
!jocomment is compatible with it.

No problem. Your help is invaluable Daniel! I will make a hefty donation one I make it big with my site, I promise.
