That won't get past the html checker built into b2evolution. You can disable it, make your post, then enable it again. Don't leave it off, though, it could let people post comments that hack into your site.

How i can do that? (Where is the option?)

I'd like to have this answer too ;)

Edit /conf/_formatting.php and find the line that says:
$use_html_checker = 1;

Change the 1 to a 0 and save.

Make sure to turn it back on when you're finished, it prevents several types of security attacks.

If you're going to be posting a lot of video, a renderer plugin might be useful for you. It's basically a plugin that takes some psuedocode and converts it into the actual embed or whatever only when the page is displayed. I made one that does youtube, google video and ifilm. If you want that or something like it I can help you.

I got the plugin for youtube, but I need one for google.

Download:

This is my version of the youtube plugin that does youtube and google. Only YouTube is searchable, but if you the id of the google video, you can add it to your post manually.

Danny, I assume the plugin has been upgraded!
Is it best to delete the previous and replace it with this one?

John,
I don't know if I would call it an upgrade. It's actually the same plugin, just with some customizations. If you want those features, then just copy the _youtube_plugin.php file over the old one.

Thanks

Is this an older version? The [gvid] selector does not seem to be implemented in this...

You're right. Sorry about that. I just updated that zip file with the new version, so the same url should work now. Thanks for catching that.

Works beautifully, thanks a lot!

Yes, it works fine. THANX!!

Anyway if you'd installed the youtube plugin before this update you'd uninstall it then remove the plugin folder, upload the new folder and finally install it.

At least I needed to do it.

Thanks again.

I have a 0.92 installation. Is there a plugin capable of doing the same ? or perhaps a script capable of just allowing me to post the "embed" code without modifying the /conf/_formatting.php file ?

Thanks !

VortexICS,
Is there a reason you can't upgrade to 1.8.2? It is stable.

personman,
for some reason, I tried to upgrade my installation to 1.8.2, but the installation script never worked. So I upgraded to 1.8.1 RC and now I am able to work with plugins again.

Thanks for the reply though.

This might sound like a really stupid question, but how in the hell do I install the plugin

One of my blogs is actually a vlog, so every post is an embedded video hosted by Blip.tv.

Any chance somebody wants to tackle a plugin to deal with Blip.tv videos? Or can suggest an alternative?

Thanks.

Edited to add: Oops. It does support Blip.tv. Kickass!
