How to: Use Standard YouTube Embeds in BB text editor module

Thought I would start a new topic as this one on the subject has been marked ‘resolved’:

Although this method relies on another plugin, it is one that I generally install on all my sites. The plugin is TinyMCE Advanced:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/tinymce-advanced/

Once installed and set up, this plugin’s features are available in the BB Text Editor module. To add a YouTube video embed URL, simply use the plugin’s ‘Insert/edit video’ option and enter the YT video embed URL into the Source field.

As wanted in the OP, this works fine as a list item in an unordered list :slight_smile:

Cheers!

Hi Lyle, tell me if the TinyMCE Advanced plugin has compatibility with BB?

Hi rcgama,

It certainly is, as I mentioned in the post … :slight_smile:

Once installed and set up, this plugin’s features are available in the BB Text Editor module.

Hello Lyle,

TinyMCE worked for getting the Youtube video into text in the BB Text Editor… even into my bulleted list. However, it defaults to left justify and no amount of dragging or clicking right justify could persuade to to move right, keeping the text to the left.

Images have controls to position the image and set word wrap. Is there any way to control video placement once it’s in the text editor?

Thanks.

Depending upon the exact kind of layout you want, you can always wrap it in a div and float right:

<div>Some text then the vid to the right …<iframe style="float: right;" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/TImK-oNY6-s" width="425" height="350"></iframe></div>

Hi Lyle,

This works, although precise image placement relative to text and adjusting image size in the text block is pretty finicky. I’d still love to see a native BB solution, where videos are treated much as images are.

But, I’ve got my videos back. Thanks for the help.
