Hi Kevin,

You need to take the following steps:

1. Extract your clearspace-2.5.x.jar from your WEB-INF/lib/ directory
   
2. Open up spring-renderContext.xml from the root of the extracted jar
3. Edit the following bean to your liking:
   
       <bean id="htmlFilter" class="com.jivesoftware.community.renderer.filter.HTMLFilter" scope="prototype">
           <property name="enabled" value="true"/>
           <property name="relativify" value="false"/>
           <property name="allowedDomains" value="youtube.com, dailymotion.com, veoh.com, vimeo.com, google.com"/>
           <property name="excludedTags">
               <value>script, iframe, style, link, meta</value>
           </property>
           <property name="excludedAttributes">
               <value>on.*, dynsrc, lowsrc, action, method</value>
           </property>
           <property name="allowImageParams" value="true"/>
           <property name="xssRegistry" ref="xssExceptionRegistry"/>
       </bean>
   
   
4. Save the file and repackge the jar (make sure you have a backup of the original jar)

Thanks.

Hi Guys,

I thought I would put out an update here. I may have been wrong about embedding blip.tv videos. I am not sure if this functionality has changed recently (I think it may have) but you can show screencast.com as well as blip.tv videos without doing any editing of files. Here are the steps:

1. Open the up the admin console
2. Navigate to Spaces -> Settings -> Filters and Macros
3. Click on Settings for the HTMLFilter
4. Modify the list of allowedDomains to include your video site URL's:
   
   youtube.com, dailymotion.com, veoh.com, vimeo.com, google.com, screencast.com, blip.tv
   
   
5. Save these settings
6. Go create a new document, discussion, etc
7. Click on the >> button in the RTE and click on "Insert Raw HTML"
8. Copy your embed code for your video and paste it into this box
9. Save your document, discussion, etc and everything should be displayed!

Please let me know if there are any questions. Thanks guys!

Hi Ryan,

Unfortunately, the blip.tv macro is not a supported plugin so I am not really able to do anything with it (it would need to be re-written to be compatible with 2.5). I can edit the plugin page to put up a notice of some kind though, is there something you had in mind?

-Todd

Great! sounds good. Thanks Ryan.

Hi Wally,

Great! Thanks for the update I am glad to hear that this worked for you. Thanks!

-Todd

Wouldn't you also need to edit this section of the spring-renderContext.xml file, adding in the additional domains?

        <property name="allowedDomains">
            <list>
                <value>youtube.com</value>
                <value>dailymotion.com</value>
                <value>veoh.com</value>
                <value>vimeo.com</value>
                <value>google.com</value>
                <value>yahoo.com</value>
                <value>screencast.com</value>
                <value>blip.tv</value>
            </list>
        </property>

Thanks.  Adding blip.tv and even scribd.com worked by adding it to the HTML filter.  But slideshare.net did not.  Any hunches as to why that would not?  When adding the player to a page, the player appears but the content does not.    

We use the slideshare plugin on 2.5, and to my knowledge it works....have you tried that?  It's under the Plugin download section.....

Hope that helps, =)

Hi Kevin,

Something else must be going on here, network wise. I tried removing the slideshare.net domain from my list and I did not get the same functionality you showed. The fact that the player is showing up but the slides aren't loading appears to indicate a network issue of sometime. But I can say for sure that clearspace isn't blocking it, since the player loaded.
