[pmwiki-users] quicktime external URL

[adam overton]

oops
this last msg was supposed to be half-answering this subject ([pmwiki- 
users] quicktime external URL), not the one listed...


> hi
> solved half of this quicktime issue:
>
> the example on the quicktime page worked:
> (:quicktime Attach:myfile.ext arg1=someting arg2=something:)
>
> but when i tried to add in an external URL, this didn't:
> (:quicktime Attach:http://www.externalwebsite.com/myfile.ext  
> arg1=someting arg2=something:)
>
> after looking around in the recipe code, realized that the  
> 'Attach:' is not necessary, and in fact the code treats the input  
> differently depending on whether it sees an 'Attach:' first 'http'  
> -- so THIS works:
>
> (:quicktime http://www.externalwebsite.com/myfile.ext arg1=someting  
> arg2=something:)
>
> i added a little note & example to clarify on the quicktime page...
>
>
> however, my other question below, regarding pumping some default  
> variables into this recipe, still stands... as do the other  
> questions in the other emails.

> thanks!

>> hi one more time
>> here are some more questions i have after working with the flash and

>>
>> first off - thanks for the plugins!
>>
>> 1. flash.php works fine, swf.php doesn't at all:
>>
>> 	%width=400 height=400% Attach:myFlashFile.swf
>> 		seems like it would work, but it doesn't
>> 		** the (:flash... equivalent for the same file works fine...
>>
>> 2. loading swf as
>> 	include_once('$cookbook/swf.php');
>>     executes fine, but loading it as
>> 	include_once('$FarmD/cookbook/swf.php');
>>     gives the following errors:
>>
>>> Warning: main($FarmD/cookbook/swf.php) [function.main]: failed to
>>> open stream: No such file or directory in /home/aoverton/
>>> public_html/pmwiki/local/config.php on line 452
>>>
>>> Warning: main() [function.include]: Failed opening '$FarmD/cookbook/
>>> swf.php' for inclusion (include_path='./:../:/home/aoverton/
>>> public_html/includes') in /home/aoverton/public_html/pmwiki/local/
>>> config.php on line 452
>>>
>>> Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by

>>> config.php:452) in /home/aoverton/public_html/pmwiki/pmwiki.php on

>>
>>
>> i don't have a farm, and haven't ever had one, so maybe i'm

>>
>>
>> 3. i'm also finding myself unable to load videos or audio that has

>> for instance...
>>
>> 	myVid.mov
>> 		uploaded to group Main
>> 	loads fine if i call the (:quicktime ... code anywhere in Main
>> 	but it fails if i call it anywhere in MyOtherGroup - instead, it
>> prints out a non-functional link to the video:
>> 		http://mysite.org/pmwiki/uploads/Main/myVid.mov
>>
>> so: is there a way to embed videos or audio that has been uploaded to
>> another part of the same site?
>>
>>
>> thank you. the recipes that are working for me are all very useful.
