Joomla Flash Video Player: Joomla 1.7 Tutorial – Change editor to add embed code for flash video player. This tutorial is to show a familiar Joomla user from 1.5 to 1.7 how to disable the editor in global configuration in order to add embed code for video player, flash, or anything that needs to be exact. Since most editors will add formatting to ‘clean up’ code when it is saved, this is the only way to achieve success when editing and adding HTML code. Same with adding embed code for iframes and youtube videos.






~ivan, do you have any other plugins running that might affect the code on save?
There are also options inside of some editors. Under Extensions>Plug-In Manager> then filter or search for “Editor” and you will see the plugins for Editors. Some editors have options that allow you to control the level of ‘automation’ and code cleaning. I hope that helps.
Another thought: You may have a template that changes code, too. Update your template or switch to Beez2 or Atomic and test Editor-None.
mine still cleans up the code.. can’t figure it, disabled all editors on my user and in the global config, still removing code and not displaying my flash! : ( any ideas?
