Youtube code help

[amebb]

I need some advice please?

My zencart is version 1.5.8a and i am running the bootstrap template.

The site is working fine and i wanted to embed youtube clips that i have uploaded.

How can this be done? I have tried going to Admin > Catalogue > Product and clicked on inserting media. When i enter the youtube url i get a message saying that the media URL is not supported.

Can anyone tell me if i am doing something wrong here? What do i need to do to embed the youtube URL on my product pages etc?

Thank you

Where are you trying to embed the video?
Post a sample of the embed code you are using (hide anything personal) and I'll try to duplicate.

I'm not sure where: 'Admin > Catalogue > Product and clicked on inserting media' is located - is it a Bootstrap template thing?

Hi Simon.
Sorry i may have explained myself in a wrong way.

So, when i goto list a product in my catagories etc. i enter details about my product, price, description etc. When i get to entering text for the product information, in the box there is a small icon to add media URL to my description.

That is where i add the Youtube url which then i get an error.

Thanks

Sorry, I'm not familiar with that option of adding a media url. I can't see it in the latest version of Zen Cart, perhaps it's linked to media manager or something. Others may know more.

The way I embed videos on to a product page is just to add the embed code to the Products Description field. The code would look 'something' like this:

<iframe class="youtube-video" title="NCBI embedded YouTube video player example" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xxxxxxx?list=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx&mute=1?html5=1&enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>

You mean the icon in product description editor window. I tried it on V2.1.0 and no problem to add a YouTube video.
On ZC v1.5.8a, there is an iframe icon but when using it I got a message 'Firefox can't open this page'. The HTML code made by CKeditor is probably wrong.
Try this:
Click on source icon and insert this code where you want your video. Adjust the link for your YouTube video in the src part and size too:

<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YouTubVideoCode" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe

Ah, of course. I had forgotten about CKeditor, something I have turned off and never use.
