I have tried this and followed tutorial but it's not showing. Could it be something unique to DTRegister where I'm trying to add the link in "messages" tab or do I need to do something else in the AllVidoes Plug-in besides enable it.

Hi vtowler,

Yes, the plugin probably wouldn't execute in there as it's a content plugin and not a system plugin.

What Joomla version are you using? We might be able to find a workaround for you.

Hi vtowler,

First things first, you need to update your Joomla version to 1.5.26 for a security fix. Here's an easy way how:
www.ostraining.com/blog/joomla/how-to-up...min-tools-extension/

As to your issue, using "Modules Anywhere":
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/core-en...embed-a-include/6402

then load the plugin within a custom html module, then load that module within DTRegister using the following trick:
www.ostraining.com/blog/joomla/loadposition-loadmodule/

If that doesn't work, you can use the "Plugin In Module" extension:
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/core-en...embed-a-include/6713

coupled with the "Modules Anywhere":
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/core-en...embed-a-include/6402

It's a long work-around, but it should work.

Kind regards,
Nick

Hi Nick,

I am quite a novice on Joomla and struggling with Step 3. Can you elaborate...?

then load the plugin within a custom html module, then load that module within DTRegister

I..
installed Modules Anywhere
created a custom html module
added {vimeo}46753531{/vimeo} in the content section of this module
used loadmodule (for the custom module) into DTRegister content

...still nothing?!

Hi vtowler,

Looks like you did it correctly. OK, try the second method instead.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I downloaded the Zip file. I'm getting this message when I try to install the "mod_plugin_Module" extension into Joomla.

Error! Could not find a Joomla! XML setup file in the package.

How do I use this once I have it installed?

Hi vtowler,

Are you sure you're installing the right file? Click the zip button at:
github.com/mblabs/mod_plugin_module

As to how to use it, check out their documentation in the description:
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/core-en...embed-a-include/6713

I think that there are 2 versions of this and you need the one for 1.5 not 1.7.

Ah yes, good point, Mark! They don't seem to make that clear anywhere.

vtowler, try selecting the 1.5 branch in the download area then "zip".

Mark was right. I had downloaded the later version. Now I have the correct one and have configured per instructions.

I don't know what tag to use in my DTRegister event.

We had an article attached to the DTRegister event so have been able to place video there. Thank you for all your help.
