ADDENDUM
With regards to the class file, it can be saved to the frontend_init folder as well - either works, although I prefer the include method)

i knew there was a reason why i just wanted to see the code for the simple image tag LOL. All of the suddent it turned into a bunch gibberish to me LOL...

looks good though I'm gonna try and decifer it. and post a zip with all the files together.

Im wondering if modifying that php class file is all that nesessary, maybe it could come in handy for later mods as well.

Yes i agree, I preffer having that sort of stuff in the includes folder as well.

Kind of agree with you...the full class might be beneficial...returns plenty of stuff that might be helpful for filemanager itself. Filesize, compression, version, valid swf, etc....in principle should be able to create a userfriendly tag for clients {FLASH:TITLE_SUBTITLE} or {FLASH:IMAGE} of {FLASH:string}which would do all the rest in embedding object/embed tags for articles....tinkering with the thought

do not use the external class - PHP has build-in function returning size of SWF file:
http://www.php.net/manual/function.getimagesize.php

Oliver

I know about that one Oliver but it seems to work only in certain server setups for swf. Provably not much of an issue though cause that was about two years ago, so maybe works its more standardized now... still the class may be useful for some other stuff, either way thanks for bringing it to my attention... I do agree with oliver on this particular instance. Since its just the size we need this built-in function alone should cover it.

(most of my mods involve some kind of flash based functionality so that class file may still come in hady for other stuff LOL)

you need GD2 to have SWF working without any problems - and yes only width...

Oliver

Thanks for that tip Oliver..to my embarrassment, I was completely unaware the php is up to speed with regards to reading swf's width and height. So yes, Ibis, the code can be simplified consideralbly, using:

$size = getimagesize($mySwf);

returns this array:

Array ( [0] => 460 [1] => 120 [2] => 13 [3] => width="460" height="120" [mime] => application/x-shockwave-flash )

so basically info can be accessed by

$size [0] returns width
$size [1] returns height

Oliver, while I have your attention, I wanted to ask the status of the multimedia content part in dev releases. Have yet to get swf's (and wmv's) to properly work. Can upload, but they cannot be inserted.
And word on this?

Thanks

yes right - there is a bug I have never seen...
...see the comment "// fixed line..."

update file cnt9.takeval.inc.php

This should solve all problems for internal media

Oliver

Hi Oliver,

I did plugin the new corrected line for:

cnt9.takeval.inc.php

line 41 was

Code: Select all

$content["media_name"] = isset($content['temp_media'][0]) ? $content['temp_media'][0] : '';

now is:

Code: Select all

$content["media_name"] = isset($content['temp_media'][1]) ? $content['temp_media'][1] : '';

Still experiencing the same problems....basically I can upload swf (gets the swc suffix), but in pop-up filemanger browser window, when I click on swf directory the right panel still says: media files > no file

Still no sure what to make of it.....

check CVS - I have fixed that or see:
http://www.phpwcms.org/phpwcms_pre1.2.5-DEV.zip

There is a new value in conf.inc.php where you can edit allowed multimedia file types.

Oliver

all best

Hi Oliver...big thanks on the multimedia content part...now fixed in !.2.5
works like a charm....

got a question/observation regarding the import of swf's.

Any chance the getfilesize("$mySwf.swf) could return default sizes of swf on internal imports?

This way client would not be confused about these parameters...
They upload and insert, without any fuss about dimensions....
an ideal solution might include quering the end-users input..if dimensions are delibeately set in dialogue.....then they would "override" the defaults, else if left blank.....then defaults would be used....

BTW:
thanks for your tip on how php now supports reading swf 'width' and 'height'

ah yes, good idea.

Oliver
