Youtube video embding in Joomla 1.6 TinyMce

Written by Miha

If you set TinyMCE view to extended (under Extensions->Plugins->Editor TinyMCE) you'll see an icon of film strip. It's intended to be able to embed a youtube or any other video / flash.

Unfortunately there are some problems to get this working.

  1. Go to Extensions->Plugins->Editor TinyMCE
  2. Set the options as they are on the picture below
    1. be sure to set Clean code on save to Always - I enabled to clean only on frontend and it did not work!
  3. Set Prohibited elements to "noone". If you just delete all the elements in there and save, they will reappear. It's a bug.
  4. Save
  5. Go to article manager
  6. Select Options (right upper corner)
  7. Go under text filtering and set no filtering for admin and super user

This works for me but I spent quite some time playing before accidentally figured out that Clean code has to be set on Always to work. Hope I saved you some time :)
