Hello,
It seems that when using a 'youtu.be' URL link directly in a page via 'Navigators->Embed Content' (when editing the project), the video does not play. For our user they get an 'Error loading' displayed, but in my test (running preview) I just got a blank page.
The problem seems to be that 'youtu.be' is not converted to a full 'youtube.com/embed' link in all cases. Although the code changed '
youtu.be/
', it did not cater for 'https'.
Below are a couple of patches which worked for us. I think though that a more correct and fuller patch would be to more generically cater for http/https, and, secondly, to cater for the fact that the DNS domain in a URL can be case-independent.
Code:
diff -u ./modules/xerte/parent_templates/Nottingham/models_html5/embedDiv.html.orig ./modules/xerte/parent_templates/Nottingham/models_html5/embedDiv.html
