Simply put: It uses the css.php to include the youtube.css. If you have the store css option checked the css.php won't be called and therefore the style definitions set in the youtube.css aren't included, hence the video doesn't show.


The fix we used is to import the youtube.css in the additional.css using this line

@import url("{vb:raw vbcsspath}youtube.css");

(has to be in the first line!)


as a side effect you can deactive the "Youtube css start" plugin which won't be used anymore if you use that fix.

P.S.: thanks for the youtube in profile plugin, our members love it =)

where do i check this??

Is there a screenshot for this?

[ProFifaLeagues]

Dont think there is but when we had this mod working A1 it shows a little utube video of the members choice on the left of the users profile which could be set to auto start when you viewed there profile page or set to click on to play!
Great little mod and well used on our site mate!

This hack works on vb 4.0.6? I've installed but it does not work.

[COL NIL SATIS]

happy days..its back working again

[Hall of Famer]

Is this one somehow in conflict with Playerlist.com's module? I installed the xml file and followed the instruction here, but nothing happened. The videos wont even show...
