How to embed video (avi,mpeg,etc) into a posting |
|
|
Forgive me if I sound naive, I'm still learning cms. I have a basic template
that contains just one HtmlPlaceholderDefinition. It allows everything
fullFormatting, images, and attachements. Using this template I have created
some posting whose contents contain html markup such as tables with images
and text.
On one of the postings I want to add a video (can be avi or mpeg). The
video file has been added to the resource gallery. So far the only way I can
get the video in the posting is to add it as an attachment. However, that
just creates a link to the file. What I really want is the Windows Media
Player to be embedded in the page and to play the file automatically.
I tried doing this by editing the html of the posting and adding the
appropriate <embed></embed> tags. This works while still editing the
posting, however once I attempt to preview or save the changes, the embed
tags get stripped out of the posting.
So, does anyone have any suggestions on how to embed Window Media Player
into a posting? Can this even be done?
A related question; why is there an "Insert Video" button on the edit
toolbar when I switch to edit mode? Why is it disabled? What is it supposed
to do?
Thanks,
Mick |

Thanks Stefan,
The WindowsMediaPlaceholder worked fine.
But Can you tell me about the "Insert Video" button on the edit
toolbar when I switched to edit mode (via IE browser)?
Why is it disabled? What is it supposed to do?

Hi Mick,
this button is there for backward compatibility with migrated CMS 2001 sites
running on CMS 2001.
With CMS 2001 was no concept of custom placeholder controls.
With CMS 2002 this feature has been replaced with custom placeholder
controls which can be much better customized to individual needs.
Cheers,
Stefan.
