Hi there.
I'm new to Joomla and am looking for a host for the site I want to develop. Do you support embedding youtube video into joomla?

Thanks

Do you mean allow or support? Technically, HG doesn't really support any of the aps your site might use (its excellent support concerns servers, accounts, etc.) It's probably allowed, but this is a peer support forum so your best bet is to write sales (at) hostgator.com and ask.

Try browsing through the Joolma.org Extentions. There are quite of few plugins that will help make embedding YouTube and other videos easier.

I guess it is just a matter of adding few lines of html code into your content. HG shouldn't have a problem as it doesnt take bandwidth from their site - as long as you dont put something illegal.

Its fairly easy to embed youtube videos into a joomla post. Go into your plugins manager and edit the tinyMCE editor plugin to the following settings and the editor will stop striping out the embed code.

Code Cleanup on Startup Off On
Code cleanup on save Never Front Only. Always
Do not clean HTML entities. Yes No
Save Warning Off On
Compressed Version Off On

Easy to do with a wide range of options. Have a look at Joomla!'s add on area. Here it is done with VideoReload

What I would like to find is a way to set up voting on certain videos submitted through my YouTube channel for a contest in Joomla... anyone got any ideas????

To add a you tube video into your content:
1. Go to you tube and copy the embedded video url
2. Go to Joomla article creation - Click the “html” icon on the tool bar. The source code for your article will appear.
3.Paste your “Video” code in the source code.
4.Click update and the video will be embedded to your article content. Remember to save your article.
