iFrame in a Joomla 2.5 article

Question

I'm trying to put an iFrame (from Google Maps) in an article but it the code just appears as text. I've had a look at the HTML source and its not in any

tags or anything. Any help please?

Answer 1

Go to:

Extensions >> Plugin Manager >> TinyMCE >> Prohibited Elements

The remove iframe from the list.

Answer 2

My preferred way of doing this is to create a module for your code (using for example Custom HTML Advanced or the built-in Iframe Wrapper module. Publish the module to a custom position (like GoogleMap). Then load the module into any article using this code:

{loadposition GoogleMap}

Joomla will take care of the rest, and insert the code into your article.

Answer 3

Alternatively you can change your default editor to "none". This will give you a raw HTML format for every text you type, so tags will stay where you want them.

Users -> *your user name* -> Basic settings -> Editor

But if you are not that experienced with pure HTML, stay with the solution from Lodder.
