One of my favorite movie titles from way back was “The 7 Steps of Shaolin”. I didn’t get to see the movie, but I sure was amused by the title. I suppose the plot would have been a novice undergoing 7 intense steps to become a Shaolin Kung-Fu master.
I was playing around with Joomla! 1.5 when I chanced upon an online tutorial on how to embed youtube video in Joomla! However, the tutorial is only applicable for the previous Joomla! version (1.x).
After much tinkering around, I finally discovered how to place youtube videos in Joomla! 1.5 articles. I’ve summarized them in 7 easy steps to show you on how to do this:
Step 1: Browse the youtube website for the video you want to embed.
Step 2: Look for the Embed field box, and highlight the entire text
Step 3: Copy the Embed text:
Step 4: Login to the administration of your Joomla! website, and view the article list (Pull down the Content menu and select Article Manager). Click to edit the article where the youtube video will play.
Step 5: The editor for the article is displayed. Click the “Edit HTML Source”. (Note: I’ve set the Display on Front Page to “yes”).
Step 6: The HTML Source Editor for the article is displayed. Now paste the copied Embed text from youtube, and click the Update button, found at the bottom of the editor.
Step 7: We are now back at the article editor. The final step, click “Save” button.
That completes the 7 steps! We are now ready to view the video on the Joomla! website. As we browse the website, we see the youtube video, ready to play. Enjoy watching ^——^
