Is there a way to embed my youtube videos?

Is there a way to add video's to the site? I have them all online (youtube.com) and just want them to be embeded into the site.

Also is there a way to have a check box which they MUST check before going through final check out?

Thanks

You Tube do provide the code for embedding on your site, but you can't embed videos into dynamic product pages - they'd have to be embedded into static pages.

What must the check box do during checkout?

Thanks for that. I want the video to explain the Check before accepting delivery of items stuff.

As for the check box, just to say yes I read the I will exaime boxes before accepting shippment.

Wait wait wait, are you saying that one cannot embed streaming videos in product pages? If so, I may be screwed on my current project.

It's for educational video training. The customer has to register and pay the course fee, then is able to access the videos and resources.

I was going to set these up as products, hoping they would stream on the product pages, rather than making the customer go through the checkout process to get them.

Yes, you can, at least on the product info page. You could also include videos in the product listing by allowing HTML there.

How did you embed it into the item description page?

Re: Is there a way to embed my youtube videos?

Why the need to overcomplicate the checkout procedure????

Sure it's easy to embed a YouTube video, but I will tell you for nothing, no way would I watch a video BEFORE signing up.

Don't lose track of what eCommerce is about. It's supposed to be quick, clean and simple to do a transaction. If I want to watch YouTube videos I will go, well, have a guess where...

Go to Youtube, right-click on the video and select 'copy embed html'.

Then just paste that code into the description field in the product setup page.

Zen Cart admin --> Configuration --> Regulations --> modify the wording of either "Confirm Terms and Conditions During Checkout Procedure" or modify "Confirm Privacy Notice During Account Creation Procedure".

Just want to confirm that in order to edit the Terms and Conditions pages I would just go to admin/Define Pages editor and edit 'define_conditions.php'?

I tried this but when I went to the website to look to see if the video worked it just had a heap of code in the description not the video.

Re: Is there a way to embed my youtube videos?

@outeredge - Yes - You use the define pages to edit your terms and conditions .

@Amy did you put your code in while you had the HTML editor on ? You need to use plain text to paste in code to the product descriptions not the HTML editor.

Hope that helps!

Constance77: I need to add video demos to each product information page too. Does anyone know the answer or the specific code to get that done? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
