If you're using TP 1.0.5, create a BBC article and use the same code you would use in a post.

If you're using TP .98, create an html article and use the "embed" code that is included on most YouTube pages along with the video. (You'll have to either turn off any wysiwig editor or view the source in order to paste in the "embed" code.)

Also, one last thing, I can only seem to get one Article to display. It only displays the featured. I would like to have several articles on the frontpage. I have done it on previous TP versions. Any help?

Thanks

Can you provide us with some information so we can help? What are your frontpage settings? How many articles do you have? Are the enabled to show on the frontpage?

Yes they are enabled to show on the frontpage. However, they will only show if i have them set as featured.

This is a frontpage setting, set it in 
Settings and Frontpage > Frontpage to suit your needs

Make sure it isn't set to
Featured article and front page blocks (which will only show 1 article "the featured one")

Ok yep i see it. Don't know how i could have missed that.

One last questions ... I was under the assumpting under one of the settings i saw that you could make the articles show as a slideshow. Is that possible?

Where is that option?

If you go to edit an existing Article you will see that option.

It appears to me to take 3 articles that would be 3 separate articles on the front page and would consolidate into one but would fade to the others.

I think that would be awesome for the frontpage, but i have yet to get it to work or figure out what it is for.

Anyone know?
