iFrame issues - Embedded Videos Erased #9

Closed johndugan closed 11 years ago

Hey Stephen -

Awesome plugin! I am relatively new to the markdown syntax, but am liking the simplicity. One of the issues I am having with your plugin is in posts which contain YouTube iframe embeds. In my particular case, I am going back to old posts and adding post thumbnails. When I view an old post in the editor with your plugin active, the iframe has been removed. Upon uploading a new thumbnail and updating the post, the iframe is deleted from the post and no longer shows on the frontend.

Look forward to figuring out a solution, and thx again for the plugin!

+1 When I add the iframe code, and save as draft, the code disappears after I reopen the page for edit.

Hi @johndugan @lulalala ,

Sorry I've not been responsive lately here. Seems the issue is the MarkDown filter is not ignoring <iframe> tags. But is there a particular reason you are using iframes directly rather than the [embed] shortcode?

lulalala commented 11 years ago

@stephenharris It was just copy and paste straight from Youtube, which takes less time :P.

stephenharris commented 11 years ago

Surely [embed]{youtube url}[/embed] won't take so long :wink:

stephenharris commented 11 years ago

Closing as wont fix, iframes aren't supported, but you can use the [embed] shortcode. Sorry!

Hello,

Is there any possibility of getting this open again?

Another scenario is including jsfiddle.net codes as well. Not to mention backwards compatibility. I'm trying to use this on a several years old blog, the last blog post contained a Youtube video and when I opened it for testing I was worried to see the <iframe> tag disappear, being a code blog I also have a few jsfiddle ones. There is no way I could see to modify those old posts in HTML and if I open them in Markdown I lose the frames.

Thanks a lot.
