Add Yotube videos as Slideshow

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Hi, I am trying add Yotube videos and using Zentools 2 module, I set layout as Slideshow and content as curated gallery, then added images and set URL to YouTube videos, but module shows error page:
"To help protect the security of information you enter into this website, the publisher of this content does not allow it to be displayed in a frame."
Where I can find instruction how to use Zentools 2 and show YouTube video content?

Hi

Does the embed code work if you insert it into an article?

I've not tried with a curated gallery myself so will need to test that

Cheers

I didn't try embedded code, I think I can embed one video, but I would like setup Video slideshow, as on this example,but with YouTube videos
zentools2.joomlabamboo.com/zentools2-examples

How to do that? Is it possible?

Hi

If its just video you want to display

The simplest way would be to create a joomla category called video

Then create articles just containing the video iframe code for example

<iframe src="player.vimeo.com/video/41387200" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>

With iframes you do need to configure the editor first to display them

Are you familiar with how to do this?

Yes, I am good with that, editor configured to use HTML/not to strip them.
But in release notes for Zentools 2.2 on Jan 27 said:

"Each gallery item is still tied to an image on your site but now you can extend this with the following elements:
•Embedded posts that allow you to embed facebook, twitter, instagram posts
•The embedded post element also makes it possible to display a spotify and soundcloud music player
•Video from Youtube or Vimeo which can be either displayed in the item or in a lightbox when the link is clicked.
•Paypal Button. The curated gallery can now be used to create a mini shop. (More on this below)"

I am wondering how this works?

The bit I forgot when I first tried this was to display video instead of an image as marked by the arrow
