Is it possible to use videos in the faqs?

Post by monsterface »

Since I didnt find it in the editor, my question is quiet simple. Is it possible to use videos in the FAQ?
If yes, do I have to change the script, to make it work and if not, just say that it isnt possible.

Hi,

sure, you can upload them or embed them e.g. from YouTube.

ok it's kinda embarassing to ask but when I embed them with the youtube link, how do i change it into a Link, which can be pressed on.
I tried it with embing them but the problem is, I get the whole code as output.
And u said it's possible to upload them, is it possible on the phpmyfaq site?

Also is it possible to edit the editor, that I can use a shortcut icon for videos? So the other users which will use that too wont be to much distracted with codes, haha.
I guess it's possible but didnt find the right script, I guess.

Sry for those questions, but I guess those will be my last for a while, since I got the other things.

Sincerly,
Thorsten

Hi,

sure, you can add links, take a look at this icon:

To upload videos, use the attachment functionality.

Hii, I got something I would like to know. Since I already knew what the Ancor-Icon was, I wanted to know how to use it properly.
I know now, that I can't use full links, since I get the following error message when I do so:
Error Message: ""advanced_dlg.anchor_invalid""

So my question is what I have to put it in there, if I don't have to put the full link in there.

I guess if I want to attach Youtube Videos with the attachment function, I have to edit the size of attachments which can be added there ?
If it is so, it's pretty simple I guess.

Sincerly,

Hii,

sooo I just wanted to let u know, that I found a hyperlink-Icon to use external links and it works pretty fine.
I still don't have any idea how to use the ancor-icon, but for the time being I will use the icon which was designed for this work.

I got a final question, it's about the youtube-video-issue. I can link those youtube videos pretty fine now, but I still want to try something. I want to embed the videos on the FAQ-Side so the people can watch those videos directly on the side.
Is that possible? As example Im using :

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Pi8xsZXibIc?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

As i said, I tried to just copy and paste it in, and the outcome is, that the text is getting output. I tried to use the hyperlink-function and it works fine, but it just is a link to the youtube side and that's not what I want to do, I want to link the Video on the page, so they can directly watch the video from the phpmyfaq-side. Do u have any idea how I can do it ?

Sincerly,
