Hi, I'm trying to embed a Loxia Studio file into the scoilnet school blog but having no success so far. I've pasted the integration code of the video I've created into the HTML view of my class page but nothing's appearing when I update the page. Can anyone please help? Thanks, Tess, Galway

I haven't used Loxia before but I just followed the steps. There was one part where, under each photo, there was a section for photo title, description and link to a webpage - I left the link box empty, perhaps this is where I went wrong?

Hi Tess, Loxia looks interesting, I haven’t used it before. I tried embedding the code into my website and it won’t work there either, so it’s probably a problem with the code. Is it difficult to re-do the process and see if you get the same code?

No, the code is fine as is, John
style="visibility:hidden" is a parameter of the iframe. It’s commonly used so that the iframe loads, takes up the space it needs to display its content, BUT the iframe itself (ie the container) will be hidden.
Most likely culprit (as the embed code is fine) is that the ‘editor’ is stripping out the iframe tag (some editors do this for security, that’s why YouTube has a ‘traditional embed code’ alternative to iframes – or the embed code is being pasted into the text, rather than the code.
@Tess: Embed as you were trying & Save, then use View Source on the live site / via browser to see if your embed code is intact to diagnose further … Also remove the space between ="true"style just in case and see if there’s an alternative embed code to try
@ Damien: It may not be working for you, if you’re using the same system (ie on a Scoilnet Blog using the same ‘editor’)
HTH

Thanks for all the advice. I've tried redoing it to get new code and it still didn't work. In fact, whenever I enter the code into the HTML page and save/publish, it disappears from the text. Maybe it's an issue with scoilnet so I'll contact them tomorrow and see how I get on.
Thanks again.

Hi Seaghan, I tried it on a WP-based site, which is also what the Scoilnet blogs are based on so could it be a WP problem then?

>>We recently made a small update to our integration code which has greatly increased compatibility with certain browsers.
Whilst this have proven to be successful, we have noticed that a number of you that use online website creation platforms such as Jimdo, sitew or e-monsite have been experiencing a problem with animations not being displayed correctly.
We are naturally working on a permanent solution, however in the meantime your can resolve this problem by doing the following;
Simply remove the following from your integration code :
style="visibility:hidden" onload="this.style.visibility='visible'"
Damien Quinn
Hi John, that solution works, well done. Bank holiday problem solving!
It looks great Tess, I might give Loxia a try.

Here a sample embed code from youtube
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/nZYQluJW-dM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES actually watch this video – it will ruin your summer!

Hi Damien,
Scoilnet use WP so yes, probably. However, in the meantime, the intrepid John Heffernan actually RTFM’d ;) and found the workaround. I had tried using Chrome and Firefox on a Joomla site and it worked fine (Joomla has some excellent editors which can enable iframes etc.).
Kudos to John for the definitive solution! J
Kindest Regards,
Seaghan.

Hi Tess,
“it disappears from the text” – this, I feel is definitive proof that your editor is removing the iframe code as a security precaution. If it continues to refuse to work (even after John’s fix), then either/and:
1) Give Scoilnet a shout and ask them if there’s a way to enable iframes and how
2) Give Loxia a shout and ask them if they have a traditional non-iframe <embed><object> embed code
Best of luck!
Kindest Regards,
Seaghan.
