hello,

I m inserting some html code like div and object & param
for inserting a flv player in the textarea of the "exposition". but i need to use the "&" caracter i tried & then save, then open the edit page again. the & became &.
if i close it and open it again, the & becomes a strange character.
i can"t find why. any help ? :)

Yep...it's an odd problem I've seen. The way I've gotten around this is to make a plugin that carries the object/param code so things are not double encoded.

hmm in fact it seems that the pb appears only when i'm using for example &image =
&image becomes a strange character similar to the &

Yep...exactly. I've never understood why...I just found a way around it.

can you explain me how you managed to do this plugin.?
in fact, i did something bad, i change the "core" so i can upload FLV files and generate html code (in asset/js/modEdit.js) and use a flv player like jplayer.

i'd like to do this but only with a plugin i can call from the textarea or something like that

ouch...there is no reason for you to edit core...seriously...totally wrong place to edit.

this is my super fast way of explaining this...you will need to tell me the parts you don't understand. but first off, there is a basic plugin tutorial in the help/tutorials section.

make a file and call it 'plugin.myflv.php'...

in this file do something like...

1. function myflv($filename, $width='400', $height='300', $prv_img='')
2. {
3. ¬†¬†¬†¬†$prv_img = ($prv_img != '') ? $prv_img : '';
4. ¬†¬†¬†¬†$no = rand(1, 1000);¬†¬†¬†¬†
5. ¬†¬†¬†¬†$out = ($wrap == 'inline') ? "<div id="player-$no" class='flash-flv'></div>n" : "<p id="player-$no"></p>n";
6. ¬†¬†¬†¬†$out .= "<script type="text/javascript">n";
7. ¬†¬†¬†¬†$out .= "var so = new SWFObject('" . BASEURL . "/files/player.swf', 'mpl', '$width', '$height', '7');n";
8. ¬†¬†¬†¬†$out .= "so.addParam('allowfullscreen', 'true');n";
9. ¬†¬†¬†¬†$out .= "so.addParam('allowscriptaccess', 'always');n";
10. ¬†¬†¬†¬†$out .= "so.addVariable('displayheight', '$height');n";
11. ¬†¬†¬†¬†$out .= "so.addVariable('file', '" . BASEURL . "/files/$filename');n";
12. ¬†¬†¬†¬†$out .= "so.addVariable('height', '$height');n";
13. ¬†¬†¬†¬†$out .= "so.addVariable('image', '" . BASEURL . "/files/$prv_img');n";
14. ¬†¬†¬†¬†$out .= "so.addVariable('width', '$width');n";
15. ¬†¬†¬†¬†$out .= "so.write('player-$no');n";
16. ¬†¬†¬†¬†$out .= "</script>n";
17. ¬†¬†¬†¬†return $out;
18. }

this is assuming you are using the JW Player...and swfobject but the idea is the same for anything else.

in your textarea then you would call this up as...

1. <plug:myflv 'filename.mov', '600', '400', 'preview_image.jpg' />

;)

1. Hello, I tried this but it doesn't work...
2. Here's my plugin:
3. function myflv($filename, $width='400', $height='300', $prv_img='')
4. {
5. $prv_img = ($prv_img != '') ? $prv_img : '';
6. $no = rand(1, 1000);    
7. $out = ($wrap == 'inline') ? "<div id="player-$no" class='flash-flv'></div>n" : "<p id="player-$no"></p>n";
8. $out .= "<script type="text/javascript">n";
9. $out .= "var so = new SWFObject('www.maqe.com.ar/M/animation/animation.swf', 'mpl', '$width', '$height', '7');n";
10. $out .= "so.addParam('allowfullscreen', 'true');n";
11. $out .= "so.addParam('allowscriptaccess', 'always');n";
12. $out .= "so.addVariable('displayheight', '$height');n";
13. $out .= "so.addVariable('file', '" . BASEURL . "/files/$filename');n";
14. $out .= "so.addVariable('height', '$height');n";
15. $out .= "so.addVariable('image', '" . BASEURL . "/files/$prv_img');n";
16. $out .= "so.addVariable('width', '$width');n";
17. $out .= "so.write('player-$no');n";
18. $out .= "</script>n";
19. return $out;
20. }

Wait! I can't paste the complete code. Why?

Oh... the code didnt show right inthe preview... well...

The only line I changed is line 9.

Should I change anything else?

1. And in my text area I wrote:
2. <plug:myflv 'www.maqe.com.ar/M/animation/MAQE REEL 2008.flv', '800', '600', 'preview_image.jpg' />

my page

At first the plugin was named plugin.etc...
and I was getting the code displayed at the top of the page.
Then, I changed the file's name to exhibit.etc...
And now the exhibit is empty!

Just packed a simple plugin based on Vaska's code posted above. Download and follow the instructions to install plugin.
