Strange…
What exact tag are you using? Are you using any other plugins which format the text automatically?

Using in Joomla 1.0.13

Makes no difference if plugin is published or unpublished the video shows in both case.

how do you install this? Is it a mambo, plugin or extension?

All these terms are so confusing as I have seen this product referenced 1001 ways! It doens’t install as a module or component so I’m guessing it’s a mambot…but am clueless on that process.

Is there some easy step by steps anywhere to help me?

OK. Erase my comment above!

I was not getting how to install this as version 0.2 would not install on my system, but version 0.1 would!

I get the following error when trying to upload/install the mambot: ERROR: Could not find a Joomla! XML setup file in the package.

I’m running Joomla! version Joomla! 1.0.12 on Microsoft-IIS/5.0

carboncow@gmail.com with any comments!

I have written on the page several times about that error and I will say it once again. Use mambo plugin for Joomla

Hi Paul

I think your EasyTube is the best embed product on the market. However, there is a new site from which I’d like to embed videos – http://www.ted.com/talks – do you have any plans to put out a new easytube version to include this site….if not, please would you consider it?

Many thanks

Got it working. Had a bit of trouble at first. Didn’t realize I was running an old Joomla version. Had to install a different version of EasyTube. Seems to work fine now. Thanks.

any way to add AUTOPLAY so that the video plays once the Profile page is accessed? Would be great.

To get make this pass the W3C validation, i modified the four major lines – here is the 1st:

$replace = 'You need to a flashplayer enabled browser to view this YouTube video';

It’ll also center it. About the same for the other 3 lines.

Hej Paul,

Im getting this error when I go to mambots and try to save/apply it:
Warning: fopen(/home/~/mambots/content/easytube.xml) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/~/administrator/includes/admin.php on line 45

Do you have any clue what Im doing wrong?? I even made the admin.php file 777 but nothing happens
I also wanted to look @ the how to install movie but the site which is hosting it is restarting over so no way to view that one either.

I now have put the .xml file manually in the right folder 2 because that 1 wasnt there but the plugin still doest work. Help!?!?

Best regards, Paul
