I have my TP set so any news I post in my News & Announcements section, it will show it on the front page.
My post has a few words of text with two video player videos which use html to post.
Instead of showing the videos on the front page, it shows "" and thats it...
Front page post: http://www.customcod.com/community/index.php
Post: http://www.customcod.com/community/index.php?topic=121.0
How do I fix this?
Are these placed in frontpageblocks or articles ?
They are forum posts.
What method are you using to show the in-post videos? Custom BBC code or scripts?
here is the post that is up there now with the videos:
2 New CoD:WW Co-op Videos:

Did you download the plugin for firefox ?
In the forum, the mod have that function for you, but when you show it on the frontpage TP does not render the mods code.
If you download the plugin it askes you to when trying to view it on the frontpage, it should work as the plugin in the browser will do what the mod for the forum does.
...
I don't know why its asking for the plugin, and I could care less.
My question is, you is TP not allowing html tags to work on the front page...?
I gave you the reply, the mod you have inside the forum to show movies render the code, and when you try to go through TP with it, it will not work.
And the reply " dont care less" when i asked it you downloaded the plug in the screensshots show you been asked to were very polite.
IF you DID care, the plugin might just show the movie right there even through TP
But as you dont care less for the help and questions to help you, then im also done wasting my time in this topic as others that do care mant help and are happy to get it to..
As the dragons say, "for that reason, im out" ;)
Ok. Ill try again.
I'm sorry if I got a little mad at you up there, but yall just ain't understanding me.
Videos of youtube or so on, have embeded html scripts. Now what I do to get those scripts to work, is I put the html BB tags around the scripts and they work. For some reason, TP is not letting the html BB tags work.
How do I make them work?
Script block instead of html works every time
Whats a script block?
nvm. I see a script block. But you don't understand. When I sticky a post in certain sections, it adds it to the front page.
lest see now.
1, you askes about why your movies are not showing on th frontpage when they do show in the forum ?
I replied.
They show in the forum cause you have added a mod for the forum to show movies, and TP does not support, nor render the mod.
From your screenshot, it looks like it asks you to install an addon for your browser to show the movies there.
I asked if you installed that mod from the browsers homepage as it's asking you to.
So now again.
Did you install the browser plugin and checked if that made the movies show on your frontpage.
Simply put, your question wehter you can use some other script or code for them to render on the frontpage would be no, as TP just fetch the content from the forum, it doesent render any script or movies through TP. it just fetsh what the forum holds.
The plugin for the browser might make your movies show though, but you have to install the plugin and see if it does.
QuoteThey show in the forum cause you have added a mod for the forum to show movies, and TP does not support, nor render the mod.
I did not install a mod for this. I used the HTML tags.
then perhaps you both the embed any vid mod and to download the plugin for ff..
it will work better that way and you will be able to see the vids. ;)
The block is not parsing the BBC tags to load the content properly... has done this in 0.98 also.

Er. So theres no way I can do HTML with it?
Yes there is. Use HTML tags. Look here: One of My Sites (http://www.ga-squad.com/)
I have 4 embedded Youtube vids in upper blocks on the front page, that can go full screen.I'm using a script block, all HTML. If you can't see them, it's because you need a browser plug-in.
If you use an html block, hit the "source" button, then put your code in. Save it. Now look at it. It's not lined up how you want correct? Change to a script block at this point. Then you have to add some tags and do some resizing in the code to get them where you want.
...
Why does no one get what I am saying...
If I sticky a post on a certain part of my section, it will automatically show the post on the front page. There is no way I know of, to make the post automatically go into a script box as it automatically goes on the front page.
It doesn't work obviously. But there have been plenty of work around suggested in this topic. :)
