Topic: SWF support

[Message Deejay]

i have loads of flash files that i really would like to add... i have tried to upload these but they are not being displayed...

toobad...
 

is it possible to get this running?

You can, but you have to put all your swf files into a single album.

Then put a local album.cfg in that album, pointing to a special album_photo.tml (object_template=album_photo_swf.tml for example).

Then copy album_photo.tml to album_photo_swf.tml and in that file, add the proper display code for an SWF. Maybe by replacing ####OBJECT#### with something like this:

Code: [Select]

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
  codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash4/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0"
  id="####OBJECTURL####" width="300" height="89">
  <param name="movie" value="####OBJECTURL####">

  <param name="quality" value="high">
  <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000">
  <embed name="####OBJECTURL####" src="####OBJECTURL####" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000"
    width="300" height="89"
    type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
    pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">
  </embed>
</object>
That will show an .swf file properly, but only in that single album.

I haven't tested it, but it should work.

Cheers

problem solved:

code should be:

<!-- The actual album contents (list of photos/sub albums in that album). See album_object.tml to define how each object appears. -->
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
 codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0">
        <param name=movie value="####OBJECTURL####">
        <param name=quality value=high>
        <embed src="####OBJECTURL####" quality=high bgcolor=#FFFFFF type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">
        </embed>
      </object>   
   </div>

so like i said... you are right on that copieing that album.cfg to the flash directory.

only now, i am forced to set the per_member_upload on 0, otherwize people cannot upload to the Flash directory

por is there any other way to fixx this?

Hi dj,

Unfortunately, it's one or the other, the per_member_upload config is a global flag...

I'm not sure what adding it to a local config would do. Probably break security and allow anyone to upload into any album if they click "upload" from the flash dir...
