I can't seem to figure out how to embed Vimeo or Youtube videos into a text page. Am I missing something here?
The normal embed code form the sites only work in the editor, but nothing shows in a text page.
EDIT:
The https://www.photo.gallery/documentation/lightbox/ page does not seem to help.
I want to have som text, images and embedded video in a textpage.

Re: Textpage with embedded video?
Sorry, but a textpage in Imagevue is only a text page. This is because basically it is a flash textfield, and flash textfields are for text, with simple formatting, unfortunately nothing else. If you want to have a page with text and an embedded video, we recommend using the lightbox feature and open from the main menu similar to this page:
http://www.danino.info/gallery/
(click farm party)
To do this, create a folder/item in your menu, and set it to link. In the link field, add the link to a custom html file similar to this:
Create the file.html in the root of your website. As from the example above, the content of the file is that of below. You can see there is a vimeo video embedded, as from the code provided from vimeo or youtube for embedding.

Code
javascript:lightbox('/file.html', {iframe: true, innerWidth:'550', height:'100%'});Code
<body style="overflow:scroll !important; height:100%; padding:0px; margin:0px;"><div style="padding: 0px 0px 50px 0px;background-color: #111111; font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; color: #DDDDDD;"><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/45577492?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&color=ffffff" width="500" height="375" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe></div>

<p>Wow!</p>
<p>What a party! I cannot thank everyone enough for making it such a special night. Thank you all for coming out on such a hot day, and for coming so far, for a night at the farm.</p>
<p>Special thanks to April Hyon for making us stars of our own party. April, I hope you heard half the rave reviews I did for the food. It was beyond exceptional, and I thank you for your tireless dedication and artistry. Courtney & Brian McKay, Art Mart is indeed the essential ingredient. What a pleasure to work with you, and to know we had the right team. I promise next time there will be air conditioning in the house. Thank you so much for everything. Linda, your cookies are magic. How is it possible we’ve only just met? Paul Simpson, the wines were from heaven (I know you said they were hand carried from Chicago, but still.) I hope this was the first of many dinners we get to share together.</p>
<p>Tom, I’m sorry I did not get to ride in your amazing limousine. Thank you for getting the party off to a proper start and for getting everyone home safely. Next time I will order twice the champagne.</p>
<p>DJ J-Dub Jeffrey, what a pleasure! You always had the perfect music to keep the party going strong. I cannot believe when the storms finally came, you never missed a beat. What would have killed an ordinary party only made this one better. Thank you my friend.</p>
<p>Ed, Will, & Jane, the farm never looked more beautiful. Thank you for all your patience with your crazy little brother/uncle.</p>
<p>I wish I could take credit for these photos. I did not take a single one. Thank you so much to everyone who sent pictures. I get to see facets of the party I would have missed. Alex, Lalo, Will, and Kate, I can’t thank you enough. Uschi, I owe you a centerpiece. Thanks also to my facebook friends, Michele, April & Marissa, from whom I grabbed countless choice shots. What’s an instagram? ;)</p>
<p>I am offering a cash reward for proper pictures of the following guests:</p>
<p>Laura & Andrew Ernst<br/>
Tim & Rachel Feeney<br/>
Matt, Carla, Kevin & Mary Grady<br/>
David Juodis<br/>
Cindi Bemben<br/>
Tom Mattingly<br/>
Marco Bendin<br/>
Gerry Somers<br/>
Norma Somers</p>
<p><strong>And please, no more pictures of cows!</strong></p>
<p>Most of all, thank you to John Burger for saying “yesâ€!</p>

Hmmm... 
My intend to use IV was take make some tutorials with some text, some images and an embedded video in a text page. Will this feature be available in the future? Otherwise I don't have anything to use IV for

Re: Textpage with embedded video?
Imagevue is a gallery/portfolio application, and this is what it is good at. I am not sure from where you had the idea that Imagevue would be good for creating comprehensive text content and tutorials, because its not in the examples. The text pages main function is to compliment a gallery or portfolio with simple bio or information. In fact I seem to remember answering something like this a few weeks ago in the forums. Besides, do you think the interface in Imagevue itself is good for reading text pages? I think its fine for reading short basic content, and of course for browsing images, but I dont think I would enjoy reading tutorials or long articles.schreiber wrote:My intend to use IV was take make some tutorials with some text, some images and an embedded video in a text page.

Besides the above, this is not anything we can "fix", simply because this is a limitation of the flash player. It allows for simple formatted text in textfields, but it does not allow you to embed any html like videos and stuff in a text page. You can load videos from the menu, with a simple link instead if you like.
The way to embed a special feature like you requested, is the way I explained in my previous post.
Sorry to sound negative, but we prefer to be honest.
Re: Textpage with embedded video?
Maybe I'm confused. In the demo the example that says "this is an example of a textpage" has an image embedded with the text (About Gallery). Are you saying an image can't be placed in a textpage?
Re: Textpage with embedded video?
I am not sure where anyone has said that an image can't be placed in a textpage. Yes, an image can be placed in a textpage. This topic is about using Imagevue as a CMS for a tutorial-style website. Is this recommended? No.Tarkio wrote:Maybe I'm confused. In the demo the example that says "this is an example of a textpage" has an image embedded with the text (About Gallery).
