YouTube in Product Descriptions

[oregongardener]

This was intriguing ... and confusing, at the same time.
I have several items where I'm using YouTube videos in the product description and never thought it was an issue until reading these posts.

What I use is like this:

<iframe height="300" frameborder="0" width="480" title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ucL6DSl3f80?rel=0">&amp;amp;amp;amp;nbsp;</iframe>

Mine works, but yours must do something I'm missing or you wouldn't have gone to the trouble to write the code.

So, can you tell me what I'm missing?

not at all. if it works it works. All mine does really is
-- puts a thumbnail rather than the whole video
-- plays the video in a lightbox type pop-up when the thumbnail is clicked
-- lets my client add videos in an easier way without having to think about the code
that's all.

Ah, okay - sounds good. I was wondering as there are times when Zen Cart balks at the iframe code and refuses to display the 'update' buttons on the second screen (or ANY buttons).
Backing up and trying again will get it working, but I figured that might have been the impetus for your efforts.
Appreciate the response!

Thanks for this Nick

I just get the same results as mentioned by Nick1973

Click on the thumbnail created by zentube and you will see it takes you to the homepage and puts a # in the URL.

I didn't read a (clear) solution for this.

Well, again, my instructions in there are probably not the best.

You are loading the other scripts before jQuery.

You need to move the jQuery loading line in html_header.php up so that it loads first.

put it here

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.0/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<?php
/**
 * load all template-specific stylesheets, named like "style*.css", alphabetically
 */

just before the stylesheets and javascript get loaded.
