Hi,
I'm trying to have a link to a youtube video that students have the option to click on to watch -
The catch is I want to show just the link that will open in another window.
When I save my lesson the actual video is shown in my lesson and not just the link.
Thanks for any help you may be able to give
Regards
Kevin
The trick is in how you do it. Instead of using the Media toolbutton to add the video, use the Link toolbutton. Copy the whole YouTube video link, go to the spot on the lesson page where you want the link to appear, click the editor Link toolbutton, paste in the link you copied, put a checkmark in the checkbox for Open in new window, then finish up by clicking Create link. You should then have a URL on the Lesson page.
Thanks for the reply - I tried this, after I click create link its shown as a link exactly as I need and expect. But when I save the page it turns it back into a window with the video in it.
Screen shot 1 just shows the link
Screen shot 2 back to showing the video after saving
Using Safari on an apple mack any ideas.
I have also noticed that the colour / clear formatting buttons don't seem to work on the editor either - is this a bug maybe?
Which version of Moodle are you using? Possibly, there is a filter that is causing this to happen. Depending on your Moodle version, you can enter edit mode for the lesson, then click the Filters link under Administration. Look and see which filters are on and experiment with turning off Convert URLS into links and images, Multimedia plugins, and if you have them, PoodLL Filter, Generico, Video Easy, Streaming media filter (RTMP). I suspect
