Adding Youtube video in form tab html editor

Hi

I've added the youtube button to my fckeditor and can select a youtube video but it won't show on the front end. it just outputs the code that is used to generate the inline control! my code is below

 <asp:Literal ID="Content" runat="server"></asp:Literal>

Content.Text =  CMSContext.CurrentDocument.GetValue("Content").ToString();

however if i add an editable region in the .aspx it works.

how can i get this to work in a form tab editable region?

i'm using version 5.5 r2.

RE:Adding Youtube video in form tab html editor

Hello.

I am not quite sure what do you mean by “Form tab editable region.” If you have a field in your document type set as Attribute type: Long text, Form control: HTML area (Formatted text), you can use FCKEditor and its dialogs, including inserting YouTube video, even on the Form tab.

Is there any particular reason why you don’t go with this approach? Can you clarify? Thank you.

RE:Adding Youtube video in form tab html editor

Hello.

The fact that it is transformed to this inline code is OK. This is by design in 5.x version of Kentico CMS (however, it is changed in KCMS 6.0 where it keeps original code format). So, this is not a problem. I added YouTube video in News document (in “News summary” column) and I can see it on the page then, if I display content of that column via <%# Eval("NewsSummary") %>. Did you try it like this?
