fullscreen not allowed in ning sites?

[Crossoverprofiles]

I haven't visited ning creators for a while...

 

Anyway I just want to know if anyone knows why when I try to post an embeded code which supposed to allow full screen NINg doesn't allow it and change the embed code insted...

 

 for example:  "param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"

 

this will change and will become param name="allowfullscreen" value="false"

 

so are we not allowed to post videos from youtube or other sites and make it a full screen?

 

Thanks

James,

 

these are good to know, however in my site even in the video module fullscreen is not allowed. because  I am just trying to see if other ning sites have the same problem as mine.

 

anyway I submitted a ticket to ning support i just don't know if they can help me.

 

Thank you very much

NOW I'm following what you are saying! you hit the fullscreen button and it doesn't go to fullscreen.....

are you guys using the iframe embed code or changing it to the old code? maybe that will make it work? the iframe code has been bugging up networks since youtube started providing it. For example, when you hit options on the video's page on your network, the dropdown will go behind the video frame. Also, in the iframes, there are discussions here from a month or so ago where an NC was having a problem resizing the module.  (click image below to enlarge it)

Also, check THIS DISCUSSION and THIS DISCUSSION for more on what i'm talking about, i hope this helps!

hi Dave,

 

Thanks for all your reply. I also check the discussions that is in your reply.

 

Anyway, here is the code that I copied from youtubethen after I pasted it on my site in the videos.... the code becomes this

as you can see the <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"> becomes <param name="allowFullScreen" value="false">

 

so all I did was copy and paste it  no modification or anything. 

 

I also did try it using different browser( firefox, IE, chrome) and  different computer (mac and windows) but the outcome is still the same.

I just embedded the same video you did on p1 of this discussion, and I cannot get it to go fullscreen either. what pops up on my end is something about fullscreen being available in HD (I'm on Google Chrome). That said, for whatever reason, I am now thinking it has to do with the video(s) themselves you are selecting, specifically the possibility of it having to do with HD, but what's weird, it WILL go fullscreen from it's location on YouTube. I'm not sure at all though, I know on my network, the embedded videos go to fullscreen when you click it to do so.
