Swish - www.swishzone.com does everything for me, although I must confess I loathe flash with a passion. I also find M's products expensive, overrated and computer-breakers, but there you go...

Okay... I've tried making these changes (in the attributes part did you
really mean 'object' => E_Iinline, or did you mean A_attrs?) but still get the "Illegal markup: object" error... any other places to change?

OKAY ... wow. I'm going crazy here because I replied to your post several HOURS ago. (Actually, I was in the middle of something, took the time to reply, checked my post ... all looked good).
Weird. (Unhappy smilie, displayed as such because I have to turn OFF the smilies so that => gets rendered properly ) >:-<
Anyway ... to reiterated (as succinctly as I can)
There are THREE things you need to tell the _formatting.php file (or the HTML checker) whichever you prefer:
1) What TAGS are legal.
2) What tags are allowed inside the legal TAGS
3) What attributes are allowed for each tag
So ... for me ... the OBJECT tag is first defined here (look for the beginning, ..then add the appropriate stuff)
| Code: |
/**
* Allowed Entity classes
*/
'object' => E_Iinline.' param ',
'param' => E_Iinline,
|
Now that you've defined the legal TAGS and what tags they may contain, the next step is to define the attributes allowed for each tag.
A bit further down in the _formatting.php file, you'll find the following and (agian) add what is appropriate to you
| Code: |
// Array showing allowed attributes for tags
$allowed_attribues = array
(
'object' => A_attrs.' style id classid type data flashvars ',
'param' => A_attrs.' style name value ', |
That's it.
-stk (very happy smilie face, because I think that I have solved your problem, but -of course- smilie faces are OFF because I want the => to be rendered properly) :D
(for the SECOND BLOODY TIME)
(very unhappy face because the thought of doing something TWICE, when I already did it once, is very frustrating). :< |

I followed your instructions for changing the _formatting.php file to allow objects. But now I get this message when I try to post:
| Quote: |
| Tag object must occur inside another tag |

Personman,
That may very well be, as our <object> tag IS normally inside a <div> tag.
Our XHTML code for videos currently looks like this:
| Code: |
<div class="Cright Video w320">
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://randsco.com/_img/video/008/rivawebplayer.swf">
<param name="movie" value="http://randsco.com/_img/video/008/rivawebplayer.swf"></param>
<param name="flashvars" value="input=fortedmonton.rvml&path=http://randsco.com/_img/video/008/&buffertime=0.01"></param>
</object>
</div>
|
So you can see that the DIVision the video (object tag) is in tells the CSS file to put the video left|right, (flash) audio|video & (width) 240|320|etc.
I'd have to look at the XHTML specs for the <object> tag, as it might be an XHTML requirement that the tag is contained within another? Dunno.
Anyway ... just try putting it into a DIV and I bet it'll work!

I was able to post your example without getting any errors. But I'm trying to post a video that I've uploaded to YouTube.com (think Flickr with videos). They do a video player that you can embed in your site, but they use the embed tag, which I know is depreciated. I haven't found a way to show the youtube movie without the embed tag, but I did disable the checker and post the movie here. If anyone can figure out how to show a youtube movie without the embed tag, please let me know how you did it.

Personman,
Easy ... I posted your video, as a test, on our site. Here's the xhtml (1.1) - valid code:
| Code: |
<div style="text-align:center"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="width:425px; height:350px" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/DyKFztw6Oow"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DyKFztw6Oow"></param></object></div>
|
Please note: I've had difficulty with b2evo shoving a <p> and </p> into inappropriate places. Namely, between the ending ">" of the <object> tag and the first "<" of the <param> tag. (The W3C validator says "no no").
The solution? Jam the ">" and "<" together in the code, so that there isn't any "space" for b2evo to add a </p> tag.
Anyway ... should work!
-stk 
Send me an email, so I know you've seen it - you're happy - it works - etc ... and I'll delete your video from our site.
PS ... that emma is a cutie, looks like a year older than Alex (and she has a TON more hair!)
PPS ... Checked out YouTube. Saw the other vids. Liked the 9 month, particularly the "walking" episode. Nice memories captured there. (Esp. your body English, helping Emma walk!)

My webhost is down hard at the moment, so I can't test it, but it looks like it works great, so you don't have to keep the video up. I'll try the code when my host decides to plug in whatever cable got kicked out. You should check out YouTube. Add me as a friend when you do so I can see what you post. You may also be interested in getting a developer id so you can code against their API. I would love to see some kind of youtube plugin for b2evo. Thanks for your help on this!

Ok, the web host is back and it works. The only error it gave me when I tried to post was: "tag div does not accept attribute style". I know there shouldn't be a problem with that. Isn't style one of those attributes that any tag should take (like title)? But I changed it to align="center" and it worked fine. Thanks again for your help.

Personman,
You've hit upon one of my b2evo pet peeves ... that "style" isn't (by default) a core attribute. 
No problem - A quick edit of the conf/_formatting.php file can remedy this shortcoming. 
| Code: |
Around line 102 in _formatting.php change:
// Allowed Attribute classes
define('A_coreattrs', 'class title');
to:
// Allowed Attribute classes
define('A_coreattrs', 'class title style'); |

I added style to the core attribute list like this:
| PHP: |
// Allowed Attribute classes
define('A_coreattrs', 'class title style');
define('A_i18n', 'lang xml:lang dir');
define('A_attrs', A_coreattrs.' '.A_i18n);
|
But I still get the error. Is there something else I need to do?

Hmm... shouldn't.
I tested it and it seemed to work fine for me. (Although, I must admit, that I had already added "style" as an allowed attribute to a number of tags. It wasn't until this morning, that I got the idea to add it as a core attribute.)
I did, however, DELETE all of those other "style" attribute entries and it still worked fine, for me, when I tested it.
How about adding it directly to the <div> tag? |

I tried it again before making any more changes, and it works now. Sorry to trouble you. I think my host is still recovering from the LA power outage. This is sweet. Now I can give your example code to my users and any of us can embed youtube movies in our posts. What's more, my new video camera should be delivered today. vlogging, here I come!
