http://www.ssbits.com/home/ http://www.ssbits.com/tutorials/2010/2-4-using-short-codes-to-embed-a-youtube-video/#PageComment_2522 Can anyone help me with how to use "Controller::curr()", as mentioned above please? I've got "ClientYouTubeID" as a page variable, rather than as part of the ShortCode, so I need to be able to call the variable $ClientYouTubeID within my YouTube.ss template, and I don't understand how to do it. At the moment it just doesnt return anything. Thanks!

The only difference from memory was changing ShortcodeParser::get() to ShortcodeParser::get('default') in the configuration file Cheers Gordon RSSName http://www.ssbits.com/tutorials/2010/2-4-using-short-codes-to-embed-a-youtube-video/#PageComment_2424 http://www.ssbits.com/tutorials/2010/2-4-using-short-codes-to-embed-a-youtube-video/#PageComment_1835 I installed the youtubevideos package created by Studio Bonito and I have embedded a YouTube video into one of SS pages on my site. It works perfectly in Firefox, Safari, Chrome and IE9, but it does not work in IE7 or IE8. In IE7 and IE8, all I get is a white box where the video should be. Has anyone else run into this problem?

The code up here isn't actually complete and there are way more options that can be set. I'll try and find some time to fork and add the rest to the github repo.

We at Studio Bonito have put this into a nice easy module to use. It also has a nice button for the TinyMC WYSIWYG Feel free to fork it form our GitHub account - https://github.com/studiobonito/silverstripe-youtubevideos Cheers, Steve RSSName http://www.ssbits.com/tutorials/2010/2-4-using-short-codes-to-embed-a-youtube-video/#PageComment_647 http://www.ssbits.com/tutorials/2010/2-4-using-short-codes-to-embed-a-youtube-video/#PageComment_638 hmm. It works on pages, but not in blogentries, it shows only the [text].
