Thread

I am trying to embed YouTube video into a front page. When I test it, it works (http://sports.urbana.edu/index.php/page_templates/). When I move it to my live page, it does not (http://sports.urbana.edu/). I have checked in Chrome, IE, FF, and Safari and it is the same in all browsers.

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="sports_report" limit="1"}
    {embed_code}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

Where the

{embed_code}

is the embed coding provided by YouTube.

I see the video on both pages, but I’m not a logged in user. Might you be using some sort of logged in code on the main page?

Because the video is time sensitive, I also have it hard-coded in currently. You will see on the rendered page that there are actually two videos showing up.

Is this meant to be a single entry page?

Yes, we plan to update the video weekly and have the latest video showing. I looged out and checked the “rendered” page and it showed only the hard coded video. I attempted to program as is mentioned in the wiki, but the video was not being rendered that way either.

Sorry careerguy, I’m a bit confused. Can you walk me through this again?

When I go to http://sports.urbana.edu/index.php/page_templates/, I see two videos. Is one hard coded, and the other coming from your weblog?

Can you create a “test” page, with just:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="sports_report" limit="1"}
    {embed_code}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

...and send us a link? Thanks!

Adam, you are correct. I have two videos in the test page you mention. One is hard coded and one is pulling from my sports_report channel. This link has only the sports_report channel in the code: http://sports.urbana.edu/index.php/page_templates/index_test/ and is working fine. The only place it is not working is on the primary index page when pulled directly (without the full template path).

Try adding dynamic=“off” to your weblog tag, like so:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="sports_report" dynamic="off"  limit="1"}
    {embed_code}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

That did it, Adam. Thanks!

Glad to see you’re all set. Please don’t hesitate to post again as needed.
