Never mind, the highly instructional video was right in front of me...duh!! Here are the steps for Joomla 2.5
- enable template positions, go to Template Manager: Styles, options
- (to see template positions)
type
yourdomain.com/?tp=1
- get iframe text for video and change height and width to match module position
- go to Site > Global Configuration > Text Filters. Super Users, no filter html
- go to Plug-in Manager: Editor - TinyMCE, make sure Functionality = Extended and remove iframe from Prohibited Elements
- Now go to content, click toggle text and paste iframe text and save, it should now stick
(only paste the iframe text for now, remove any text before and after the iframe)
