Disappearing Source uploading a video in Blog post

Hello all... I'm testing the upload of video in a blog post. The issue I'm having is that after adding the video to the blog post, previewing it and submitting the post, the video just doesn't show up... When I go back to edit the post, it turns out that the HTML source code is completely gone...

 

There is a separate, long thread dealing with disappearing code from HTML blocks, something I experienced before and which I fixed changing some settings in a PHP file. This had to do with TinyMCE and it seems I have a similar issue here. Yet, this is a problem from the user's perspective, as I cannot expect users to go into source code after they upload a video and do some manual changes that may "fix" the source code.

 

Is there a way to disable TinyMCE for a blog post (as I did for the HTML blocks)? Any suggestions as to prevent the video upload source code from disappearing?

lets start at the beginning - what steps are you taking to upload a video - i am trying to duplicate your error

 

attached is an embedded video from youtube - all works well

Thank you professor... Good point... The issue I'm having is uploading an MP4 (via MoxieManager... I had to change a config file as per this thread to allow MP4 uploads)

 

The funny thing is that, as I was fiddling with the source code, at one point it DID work and I have one blog post with an uploaded MP4. It was a one-off (one out of fifty tries, perhaps), and I have no idea what was what I did that made it work, it would have to be something very minor such as adding or removing an space somewhere. The generated code is this (it works OK as long as it's not "removed"...)

 

<p>

<video controls="controls" width="300" height="150">
<source src="media/moxie/files/C/Ca/Cap/CapitanSalami/IMG_1940.mp4" type="video/mp4" />

</video>

</p>

 

So really the issue is not with the video itself. The *actual* problem is the complete disappearance of the code after it's "posted"...

hmmm - interesting - are you using version 7.3 by any chance?

Hi Professor. Not yet. I wanted to to install 7.3 only after I had a "bug-free" 7.2 version, to guarantee that no bugs were carried over into the new version, but looks like this won't be possible, so I guess I'll get on upgrading to 7.3, and *maybe* this will fix the couple of issues that are not working right now...

OK, 7.3 is installed... The install notes stated that "moximanager plugin was removed, now it is available as separate module for licensed sites only".

So indeed now there's no way to upload the MP4... I went to look for moxiemanager in Modules, but it's not there. I've been paying my license fees since last December so I don't know what's the deal now...

from my understanding - if you have a permanent license from Dolphin - then you are able to download the moxiemanager. search for it here in the forums - i believe there is a link.

OK...

Version 7.3: CHECK

Moxiemanager installed, up and running: CHECK

 

Still have the same problem though... After uploading the video and "Adding" the blog post, when the blog is posted, there is no content...

BEFORE posting the blog, the source code shows OK, like this:

<video width="640" height="352" controls="controls">
<source src="media/moxie/files/C/Ca/Cap/Capitan/IMG_1948.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
</video>

 

After the blog is posted, that source code has completely vanished.

 

Help, anyone?
