ModX - embedded iframe disappears

Question

I have a YouTube video embedded on a page in ModX. To place it, on the Page I switch TinyMCE off to reveal the HTML code then paste the iframe in. That works Ok but when I go back to edit something else in HTML mode the iframe code disappears.

Anyone know whats going on?

Answer 1

TinyMce is encoding some of the characters in your youtube code for you... it honestly thinks it is being helpful ;) . You have 3 options:

1. Reference the tinymce documentation, there are some options to tell it which characters not to encode. [sorry, don't remember offhand what they are]

2. turn off "rich text" on the particular resource you are trying to include the video in.

3. place your video code in a chunk & reference that chunk in your resource instead of the actual code. [probably your best bet]
