Those looking to find a solid system upon which to build the website of their dreams will often tell you that the PHPNuke clan provides one of the very best available today because this is one CMS (Content Management System) that has both a very long history, and a whole lot of devoted community behind it. That means that you, as a webmaster, are likely to get quite a bit of help when you need it. Thanks to all the PHP Nuke tools available these days, you can do just about anything using this CMS that might want to. The primary strength is that it offers a solid publications basis because the PHPNuke CMS was designed for sites that wanted a lot of fresh content delivered to their communities on a regular basis. This is one CMS that was definitely created to service the web’s bigger communities, yet is constructed in such a way that it can be easily installed by even a rank amateur to website building.
Sincere there are thousands of great themes for PHP Nuke, along with all sorts of modules and add-ons, then it makes sense that this particular CMS would be the one to consider if you want to build a highly customizable site used by a large user base – even if that large user base may be something you hope for in the future. With a ton of popular modules with everything from the PHPNuke Calendar to PNphpbb2 to allow for forums with the phpbb’s style of feature loaded goodness, PHPNuke offers a whole lot to love.
This being said, one of the complications with any older CMS is that it is going to be a little bit tougher to do more ‘modern’ things that are usually a snap in a newer CMS or blogging script. If you’re looking to add YouTube videos into your content on a PHP Nuke site, it seems that this can be both difficult and frustrating for quite a few folks out there, judging by the complexity of the task. It isn’t so much that it is a hard thing to do, it is just that it is not exactly an intuitive process because you need to customize the code of your PHP Nuke installation.
First off, you need to disable your WYSIWYG editor in PHPNuke. These ‘What You See is What You Get’ editors often cause problems for a wide array of CMS’s, so it isn’t surprising that this is the case for PHP Nuke. You’ll need to get at least the security patches for 3.2 in order to be able to disable the editor so be sure to set those up first. Disabling the WYSIWYG editor is not as simple as pressing a button. Instead, on your server you need to navigate to here on your PHP Nuke installation:
modules/News/admin/
Open the index.php file with a trusted text editor and find this line of code (Ctrl-F often speeds this process up):
if (!defined(’ADMIN_FILE’)) {
die (”Access Denied”);
}
Beneath that line, add this:
define(’NO_EDITOR’, true);
You also need to add the following tags to allowable html
,”embed”=>2,”object”=>2,”param”=>2);
Now, when you post your content you can just post the YouTube video embed codes into your news articles and you are good to go!

For best result, you might want to start the video and pause it for about 10 sec before resuming it. This is to allow the video to play it in your screen smoothly without any intermediate stoppage.
