Hi guys,

I am Just having a bit of a problem uplaoding a video from youtube to one of my group forums, it just won't let me, does anyone have any idea why this is happening, basically my sister suffers with MS and she wants to set up a support group for other people who suffer with the same illness, but with out been able to upload video's she is finding it hard to complete her group.

Kind regaards

Stan,

1. How are you trying to add the video?

Are you using 'Video' button?


2. What is your embed code?

3. Do you get any errors/notices?

yes I am using the video button and it is like there is something there but it is invisible this is the code I am using <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/dm3z_7Dl5b4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> but there is nothing showing up?

Stan, thanks for reporting issue about video embed.
Youtube has changed the way they provide embed codes. We are currently working on updating our code to work with their embeds. I will keep you posted.

In standard Oxwall installation site admin is not supposed to get notifications when new users register ( unless user approval is enabled).

PMed you a couple of questions.

Guys, we have fixed the issue with youtube videos within the media panel ( when you post blogs, forum topics, for example).

What to do.

1. Download the .txt file attached to this reply.
2. Rename it to jevix.class.php on your computer.
3. Open your control panel>>go to ow_libraries/jevix and replace jevix.class.php with the  new downloaded one.

You are done =). Try to add video on your forum.

Let me know if you face any issues.

it is still the same as before even though I uploaded the new attachment, you still have to add the http: to the code.

Added a video on your group's forum.
My embed: <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/fxQcBKUPm8o" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Note that fix applies only to videos uploaded via media panel ( fix for videos uploaded via "Video" plugin is still being developed).
