I have been trying to figure this out for a while. I have a very simple need I need to display the latest posts on certain boards in my portal. The issue I am having is these posts have embeds to videos in them my question is how do I get them to show up.

The embeds just show up like this

<object width="648" height="360"><param name="movie" value="http://www.megavideo.com/v/KW8TVWDFa60af655b15d3f9db5d62f53b8ca3e5e2"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.megavideo.com/v/KW8TVWDFa60af655b15d3f9db5d62f53b8ca3e5e2" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="648" height="360"></embed></object>

Instead of as videos.

No one ? I have been working on this for days and cant figure it out searched the whole forum too lol.

Which MyCode are you using for MegaVideo? Does it happen with video embeds from YouTube as well? And can we please have your forum URL?

www.thewritinghaven.com and I wasn't using mycode i was using html embed through a standard embed code. Works fine in the posts just not on the portal.

You're using plain HTML code to display the videos in posts? So you have HTML enabled?

Also, I hope you're aware of the risk of enabling HTML.

Yeah I am aware of the risk. I also do have it enabled yes. Like i said it works in the posts just doesnt work when they come up on the portal all that comes up is the code.

Also if it isnt an option would it be possible to write a mycode to parse the html because we use a lot of different embedding sites and im not sure my staff could keep up with too many codes.

Do simple HTML tags like <strong> work in the portal? Also, can you provide a user test account?

user testuser3
pass testuser3

as far as I can tell youl see when you view the portal but no html is completly disabled in the portal.
