  • Here are 3 Ways to Embed Media

1. Copy and paste html code in pairs

Familiar Example

YouTube

Pasted code for the above video
<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7KKE0f1FGiw&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7KKE0f1FGiw&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>


You can also just copy the embed tags and leave out the object and param tags like so: (its almost always exactly the same result)


YouTube

Pasted code for the above video
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7KKE0f1FGiw&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed>


Quick Hack!!

*If your html comes without pairs fix it and paste it like so:


without pairs
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7KKE0f1FGiw&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355" />


Just delete the " />" and close the tag with ">" then add a seperate closing tag such as </embed>... you end up with


fixed to with pairs
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7KKE0f1FGiw&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed>

2. Copy and paste javascript

*For safety reasons this type of embed is prohibited on the normal wiki pages.

Pasted code for the above video
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://en.sevenload.com/pl/Q4p7sd2/500x408"></script>

3. Use our Wiki's Video Services Embed codes:

Manually type in these shorthand codes that exist between doubled brackets {{ }}


**This works in wiki articles pages, use the above methods for the user profile and user board pages.


Example format:

  • {{#ev:service|id}}

-or-

  • {{#ev:service|id|width}}

Where:

  • service is the name of a video sharing service.
  • id is the id of the video to include
  • width (optional) is the width in pixels of the viewing area (height will be determined automatically)
