Inserting a video link in the News Module?

[EscData]

Hi!

I have a problem with the News bar on a joomla webiste that uses "Protostar" I try to find the file in the FTP so i can insert the code like i did on the picture i uploaded. Is it possible and if it is where is the file located?

You will need to create a Template override of the module then edit that https://docs.joomla.org/J3.x:How_to_use ... _Overrides

Okey, thanks for the answer but i havn't been using joomla so much before, maybe 2 times, so unfortunately that guide didn't help me so much because of to little guidance haha, but thanks anyway

Extensions >>> Templates ... navigate to create override ... find the News Module ... select it and create the override.(there will be the path to the override displayed on the screen when you create it).

With ftp navigate to \templates\protostar\html\modules\ ... default.php and edit that file with the code.

Solved it!! Edited the index.php file under /public_html/templates/protostar/ and added the link on under the jdoc:include line, like this:

<!-- Begin Right Sidebar -->
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="position-7" style="well" />
<iframe width="300" height="150" src="https://www.[youtube].com" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>
<!-- End Right Sidebar -->

That edit will show even when the module isn't published.
You can lose the edit on an update.
Good luck.

Ah okey i see, but that is no problem, and yes maybe you are right about that and if there is a update i'll just do it again

Another way (and I suppose essentially an override too) would be to make a copy of the Protostar template, and rename it (then set it as your site's default template), then make the code changes. This way, any core updates won't affect your template copy and therefore avoids the re-work. Same thing as mentioned, will show regardless of publish status.
