Help with videos in Knowledge Articles

I know that there are several discussion and guides on the subject, but after several tries (and cries) I am simply not able to have any videos displayed in my knowledge articles.

I have tried uploading a video to the library, embeddign the video (youtube), linking to the video (youtube), and nothing works.

Once I hit SAVE, the video disappears from the KB article and from the source-code of the article.

Am I missing something???

Please help me, I am loosing my f***** mind here!

Solution from HI.



Solution Proposed:



I found that when you save a kb_knowledge record with an embedded video in the HTML field, the security layer strips out the object tags from the html field. As a workaround, we configured the dictionary entry of the Text field and added a dictionary attribute called html_sanitize=false. This allowed the video to be embedded properly. The documentation for this is located here:

Workaround:


The workaround was applied to the field text from KB form > attributes tab

This is the first result on Google I had when searching for this issue, but there is a better way. I would like to point others to a better fix here:
