I have a joomla isntallation which displays some articles normally but when i added an article with a youtube video, the WYSIWYG editor converted the special characters in the embed code to html entities.
Well, i’m assuming its the editor since it doesn’t happen when i don’t use it.

The problem after is that if i go to the article, i see the embed code for the flash player, instead of the flash player being rendered.

I’m using joomla 1.5 with a php 5 install.
I thought joomla used html_entity_decode () on content by default?
Does anyone know why this is happening and can guide me to which file or template file i’d need to use the function on please and thanks.

    Almost joomla editors strip HTML ,css,JS from the content

    so you can disable clean HTML in your editor settings or

    its better to use any plugin to embed the youtube code (there are a lot )

    use this plugin to embed videos from almost any provider (youtube , vimeo , metacafe etc.)
