Using Flash In Upload to Groups

The same screen as what is used here to post to this forum is the same one for groups you can't use an inline frame of flash upload to this is that correct?

Ok what I want to do is insert a flash slide show like this one:

http://thebutlerchain.com/ This flash file allows me to do video and pictures with no problems whatsoever to upload.........just an easier process all the way around.....

in the same spot that the pictures are displayed in the one above..........Obviously want to remove the first one and use the second one...........if possible.....

Im not sure how I could make it work for everyone if I could I would.  I have bought this program and i have it hosted somewhere else but it is over the top when it deals with photo's and video allowing both to be used together and organized yada yada....I hope this will work.....It would make the experience so much more enjoyable IT could be an app for everyone to enjoy if someone want to talk to me about that IT truly is the best on the market.  If you floowed the link you saw what I was talking about.......

I'm afraid putting the swf in a block by itself, would be a lot more complex than what I showed you.   When you embed it in a post like I did, that post is associated with the blog creator.  To put it in it's own block on the page, would require a new custom content block added to the page, and that's a LOT more complex.  It can be done... but not without a custom modification.

We will talk tomorrow about this it is interesting......every-time I try to post that slide show in anything it never works for me......I wonder what I am doing wrong.......If it works for one thing it should work for all?  I would think......It would resolve all my issues but nobody else.......

Why does this piece of crap website forget that I'm logged in??  If I go click on the 'Unity' link then go back to the forums, I am somehow magically logged in again


Boonex....Fix this bullshit.  Furthermore, it would be nice if all the text I entered didn't disappear into a black hole when this happens.  On every other forum software on the planet, if you are editing a post, and something goes wrong, you can just hit the browser back button, and the editor...with your text, will STILL be there.

What?  We need another Prime purchase to reach quota?  I thought our job was to chase away Prime Purchasers.  Or is it, get them to purchase and then chase them away.  I'm so frucking confused now.  Someone explain to me what my job is again.

Apparently, it's to flame bait and insult everyone in sight, but somehow remain an integral part of Unity.

No idea how the hell that's managed to work, but hats off to you for finding a way.

@Magnisoft - I know you like playing footsie with mydatery but this is not a "cute" thing, ok.  It came from his extremist70 yahoo account and contained nothing other than the malware link.  He wrote me with some kind of bs implying that he had been hacked and said that his entire "sent" folder was now missing. Pretty strange since some of the people who got it were other people he routinely attacks here.  I sent it to Boonex - you want it you can get it from them.  This is really seriously sick shit he is doing now and I would appreciate it if you wouldn't make light of it.

Tell ya what guys.  This is an interesting topic of discussion.... one that I really hate to see wrecked.  Since I started it with my PO'd post about this malfunctioning website, I'll take part of the blame.

I'm going to delete my posts that have nothing to do with the topic of this thread, and I'm going to ask everyone else to do the same.  Maybe for the first time in boonex.com forum history, we can salvage a thread run amok.

Yeah, cute little game Mydatery - calling me "a liar" for pointing out that I wasn't the only one here who got your malware link sent to my email, and then deleting your posts and lying claiming that "you just got here".  Is that intended to fool Boonex? - it won't fool most of the other members here- they already saw it.   You are not only a criminal, you are a stupid criminal - you put the emails in the cc field, not in the blind cc field, so you can explain to me how I suddenly have about 15 email addresses from your yahoo account - including several members here who I have never met before.  Get the help you need - as I have said before, I don't have time in my life for pathetic losers like you.

houston I posted your code and I am THRILLED beyond belief that it works but for some reason it is not working in I.E. 8  The program is over the top with what you can do it does pose a problem for the Iphone app as it is flash but the upload for Video is DONE DONE DONE and works perfect everytime.......Plz Houston advise me on the I.E. 8  If you don't have something nice to say please I am sure there is another way to do it......I just don't want to read profanity like that about the fact you lost your post.......PLS this is a sandbox that has rules.........

I'll have a look at IE8 when I have some time.  What version of flash player do you use with IE8?

P.S.  If you use Dolphin long enough, and hang around these forums long enough, you'll understand how things get out of control sometimes.  You just gotta roll with the punches and concentrate on  the useful stuff.

I just had no idea what happened and i am sorry you lost your post.........I am sure it would piss you off if you wrote something for 30 minutes that had a great deal of thought in it........All I think about is how to get this done period.  I have lost stuff stumbled across stuff uploaded stuff that doesn't work it really is just part of what we all do isn't.  It seems like to me that it s more the everyday than the exception.  The stuff you found in two lines of code changed the entire package for me and that I appreciate your efforts.  I assume that goes with those posts.......Moving toward the completion of all this is a mission for me and I am completely focused on and adding that code was a HUGE step forward because it adds so much power to controlling VIDEO pictures, and Links to the right spot.  I do have an issue with I.E. 8 as it won't play the flash file it appears as a blank screen any thoughts on that?

I got confused BC I had no idea how that started and who magnasoft was thank you for shedding light on it.......Take a look at:

I had a look.   On a side note, you might want to make this change:

Add this to templates/base/css/general.css

p {

margin-bottom: 1em;

}

On my site. I also added: (To make bullet lists look better)

li {

margin-bottom: .5em;

}


This will just put some white space between paragraphs (In your case, black space)

I'll have to go to htmlpurifier.org and investigate this issue.  It looks like a bug with htmlpurifier.  Even with Safe Embed enabled, it's stripping the embed tags, and that's why it doesn't work in IE. 

This may take a while.

I agree that this would make a nice addition to the Groups and Events modules.  Since it's a commercial product, it will never come bundled with Dolphin, so someone would have to integrate it as an add-on.  That way, you could upload photos and videos, from within Dolphin.  It's not a trivial project though.

What I am working on as a quick solution, is a way to embed swf files hosted on your own server, and only your own server.  Allowing embedded flash from just anywhere is asking for trouble.  If it's hosted on your own server, at least you have control over content.  I have the basic htmlpurifier filter done for this... it might need a little polishing.  Then, it's just a matter of making a few changes to the html purifier plugin and recompiling the configuration schema.

My question for you is: Would there be any obstacles for you in hosting all the slide show content on your own server?   I'm not 100% clear on what your usage model for this is.

I assume not but it is such a powerful software package.............And it is quite affordable as well......Very.......

I have the main software hosted by the developer of the program as it is just about the easiest upload of photos and video I have ever seen.  It can be hosted by other and to you guys it would be really simple to set that up as there is a module upload to that........The key to this software you already found which is the xml file that is loaded into the player and that could come from anywhere with the right settings to feed the viewer.


My question for you is: Would there be any obstacles for you in hosting all the slide show content on your own server?   I'm not 100% clear on what your usage model for this is.

I upload the Flash File to MY server on the butler chain.  The XML file "content" is stored on the developers server.  The "call" comes from there....I again upload the Flash File to MY Server not the boonex server not sure if it would work if it was pulled from the getglobalexposure site would that be a problem?  I am using that configuration in the flash file you are using in your tests........Does that make sense?

1) Server is at Developer site which holds all content that feeds XML file structure

2) Upload flash slide show with new xml string to my server.........

3) Post that SlideShow and there it is........XML file can be updated and edited on the fly and updates to SlideShow.......Including adding new slide shows to that file movies pictures content yada yada yada......

Actually, that's as clear as mud.  "Boonex server'?    "Developer site"?   To me, Boonex server means the server hosting boonex.com, and to me, Developer site means a website belonging to someone that creates software.

The developer of the "slideshow software" is the developer I talk about

I host the "CONTENT" of the slideshow with that developer of the Slideshow software we are discussing

I have a www.thebutlerchain.com site which is where I host the slideshow flash files after the xml file is produced from the developer of the slideshows hosting site.

I then post that file which is what you are using that is the slide show player.........
