phpwcms Support Forum

Hi All,

Wonder if anyone can help...

I have uploaded a Flash (.swf) animation to a website and for some reason it doesn't appear when I drop it into a media content part.

Stranger still the Flash icon doesn't appear when I locate it in the File Center area of phpwcms (see attached).


Is this an update script thing? - I only encountered the problem on upgrading to the latest release.

Any advice please?

Many thanks,

Paul

Hi powlido

Not sure about your setup (JW MEDIA? or Multimedia CP?)but it sometimes seems
- to depend on the version of php you are running
- that on occasion the standard swf gets interpretted as a swc
- and is stored as such - to check - go to the filearchive directory
- and check extensions

(if swc - then you might need a hack of these files)

(a)
include/inc_lib/backend.functions.inc.php
function check_image_extension()
changed swc to swf
so line 120 should be: $result = (strtolower(which_ext($file)) == 'swf') ? 'swf' : 'swf';

(b)
include/inc_lib/general.inc.php
line 1760 approx.
changed 13=>swc to 13=>swf in
$exif_imagetype = array(
1=>'gif', 2=>'jpeg', 2=>'jpg', 3=>'png', 4=>'swf', 5=>'psd',
6=>'bmp', 7=>'tif', 8=>'tiff', 9=>'jpc', 10=>'jp2', 11=>'jpx',
12=>'jb2', 13=>'swf', 14=>'iff', 15=>'wbmp', 16=>'xbm' );

just a guess - if so you will have to re-upload the swf again...
might be something else as well (javascript). - just my 2 cents
