Time for action—Setting the player for the YouTube module

By default, the module is on autoplay.

1. If you prefer to change the setting so that the video plays only when it is clicked, you will have to go to the modules folder and open the editorialyoutube.tpl.

   <!-- Module Editorial -->
     <div id="editorial_block_center" class="editorial_block" align="center">
       <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/{if $xml->body->$title}{$xml->body->$title|stripslashes}{/if}&autoplay=1&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x- shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="540" height="437"></embed>
     </div>
   <!-- /Module Editorial -->
