How to insert YouTube video in the VirtueMart product description?

Published by admin on 2010-05-11

There is a filter in VirtueMart, which cuts the object and the embed html tags.

A modification should be completed in the administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/phpInputFilter/class.inputfilter.php file.

In order to embed YouTube video and other Flash files in your VirtueMart product description area you should remove the object and the embed items from the following array:

var $tagBlacklist = array(‘applet’, ‘body’, ‘bgsound’, ‘base’, ‘basefont’, ’embed’, ‘frame’, ‘frameset’, ‘head’, ‘html’, ‘id’, ‘iframe’, ‘ilayer’, ‘layer’, ‘link’, ‘meta’, ‘name’, ‘object’, ‘script’, ‘style’, ‘title’, ‘xml’);

The new array will be:

var $tagBlacklist = array(‘applet’, ‘body’, ‘bgsound’, ‘base’, ‘basefont’, ‘frame’, ‘frameset’, ‘head’, ‘html’, ‘id’, ‘iframe’, ‘ilayer’, ‘layer’, ‘link’, ‘meta’, ‘name’, ‘script’, ‘style’, ‘title’, ‘xml’);

Published by admin on 2010-03-01

Copy the error.php file from your-site/templates/system to your template main directory.

Then just open the error.php file from your Joomla template and edit it.

If you want to redirect to a sitemap on your site  for example use this code at the top of the error.php file before everything in the file write:

<?php

defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );
if (($this->error->code) == '404') {
header('Location: http://www.yoursite.com/sitemap');
exit;
}

?>
