Hello,

I have tried many attempts at inserting a Youtube video that appears in the blog content of K2, I cannot figure it out, I even tried AllVideos plugin as well and I'm not sure why it's not working.

Can someone tell me the steps that should get it to work in case I'm doing it wrong?

kind regards,

Steve

Did you read the AllVideos documentation page first? www.joomlaworks.net/support/docs/allvideos

Yes I have, the video URL can be pasted into K2 > Media tab > 'Select video provider' = youtube 'and enter video ID' = YT URL

That works and when I post it its visible under the Media Section, however, I wanted that to be in the content section where is closer to the text of the blog if you get me?

Hello Steve,
If the problem is that the video does not appear in the item view, you need to configure the media option in the category edit form, have a look at the screenshot below, if the media set to Hide, then set it to Show and configure the other options to adjust the layout.


To place the video in a specific position, you need to override the item.php template file and move this code to where you want the video to appear
<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemVideo') && !empty($this->item->video)): ?>
	<!-- Item video -->
	<a name="itemVideoAnchor" id="itemVideoAnchor"></a>
	<div class="itemVideoBlock">
		<h3><?php echo JText::_('K2_MEDIA'); ?></h3>

		<?php if($this->item->videoType=='embedded'): ?>
		<div class="itemVideoEmbedded">
			<?php echo $this->item->video; ?>
		</div>
		<?php else: ?>
		<span class="itemVideo"><?php echo $this->item->video; ?></span>
		<?php endif; ?>

		<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemVideoCaption') && !empty($this->item->video_caption)): ?>
		<span class="itemVideoCaption"><?php echo $this->item->video_caption; ?></span>
		<?php endif; ?>

		<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemVideoCredits') && !empty($this->item->video_credits)): ?>
		<span class="itemVideoCredits"><?php echo $this->item->video_credits; ?></span>
		<?php endif; ?>

		<div class="clr"></div>
	</div>
	<?php endif; ?>

Or you can always use {youtube}...{/youtube} tags within your content, per AllVideos documentation.
