If there is a css for that mod add it to the addition.css

you need to post over at Forum stats mod

I just looked there
there is like 4 files..
but the issue with saving css as a file is resolved for this mod..(youtube in profile)
with the fix posted above witch fixes the save file as css..
posted over at the other thread and I will help you there..
I will test it out on my test forum..

[Hippy]

Been a while..
Just incase your wondering ...
this mod still installs and works 100% with the latest vb4.1.0

I have a question <3, I've install a new style on my forum, but it doesn't show the video: the problem is with this style, the other it's perfect <3

What should I do?

are you storing css stylesheets as a file ?

This origins in the way the youtube.css is called by the plugin.

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 =)

Oh! Now I remember that I did this long time ago for my previous style... thanks <3

Trying this in 4.1.1 but doesn't seem to work. I tried the css change too. Can someone confirm this works in 4.1.1 fresh install?
Thanks,

Is there any way to mod this so that it could show like a regular youtube sized embedded video somewhere in the profile area?

For instance, make a "YouTube" profile field category so that it would add a tab located in the member's profile, then just have a way to put a full size embed in that blank area?
