Creating a video display ifram with a textarea field

I would like people to submit an YouTube video.

I tried the following, but it did not work. What is not so important is finding out what I did wrong, but how to accomplish the goal. GOAL: a user enters a YouTube share URL as a field, with all the other article's descriptions, tags, and category info. Then when the item is displayed, it shows the video.

What I tried:

From the submission in a textarea field.

For example:

I want the person to enter: QV7dDSgbaQ0

This comes from YouTube's Share URL:


Using the "Opening Text for Field" and the "Closing Text for Field" The resulting HTML needs to be:
Code:
<div><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/QV7dDSgbaQ0?rel=0&amp;autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" width="425" height="350" allowfullscreen="true" style="vertical-align: middle; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></iframe></div>

I placed this in the "Opening Text"
Code:
<div><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/

And in the "Closting Text" is
Code:
?rel=0&amp;autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" width="425" height="350" allowfullscreen="true" style="vertical-align: middle; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></iframe></div>

When an item is created and published. The display is a completely white screen.

Hello

why are you not using the videoshare field that is included in v2.2.0 r1901 BETA ?

it has in form preview and other options

user only needs to copy / paste the URL


please backup and try v2.2.0:

FLEXIcontent v2.2.0 r1901 BETA for J1.5

FLEXIcontent v2.2.0 r1901 BETA for J2.5/J3.x


-- Flexicontent is Free but involves a big effort on our part.
Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite having a long list of functions) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?
-- Add your voice to the FLEXIcontent JED listing with a 5-star...
