Title: ToG News
Post by: TSG on July 25, 2007, 03:02:07 PM
OK ToGers, next release will be posted in .rar aswell as .zip, we are also looking into making an executable that will auto update the template with the click of a button :) this is a long way off tho, maybe i will post an executable .rar aswell for those too lazy to extract manually...

on that note, i have identified several small bugs and made some improvements for 2.9.1. , 2.9.1 will also sport a beta of a updating statistics panel using an AHAH solution, thanks to Giant Eagle and rejetto :) You'll just have to ignore the .htm requests in the log... until HFS can hide embedded .htm sections, rejetto is looking into it.

I will update 2.9.1 without the AHAH and have 2.9.1 normal release and 2.9.1+AHAH release. The ToG will be one of, if not, the first template to ever support an updating statistics panel :)

when i have the time, i will also make a more intuitive online installation guide and readme, just excuse the hard to read text file until i can get the time to do so.

Server statistics is not the only thing that can be done using AHAH, its just only the beginning ;D

Ye i cant wait to implement it further, we can make a godly upload page with this stuff :)

One question, i cant get it to work in IE now.... the method you had wasn't working so i deleted it :P i found adding 1 to the link in the loop worked but, after say 50 updates :P HFS was receiving for example... stats.htm?11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111, reckon you could make it simply count up? so each time it loops it adds on 1 so.... stats.htm?1, stats.htm?2 :D im close but i need to slice the url or something...

Im going to try converting the number to an int :P i left it as a string.

i thought it just as simple as adding <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="1" /> to refresh page.. haha. just continue your nice work, im sure it will be something special. (even updating server stats means very special to me)

ToG has DivX player support again. Seems locally it gives errors. But Externally its ok.

Also, users can set the player as 4:3 aspect ratio by putting <script type="text/javascript">var Va="363"</script> into the comment field of a folder :)

TsG,

Part of the code into the DivXWebplayer SDK to have a common look and feel for all browsers

Code: [Select]
<center>
            <object id="ie_plugin" >
             </embed>
             </object>
</center>

    <script type="text/javascript">

    //
    // This code detects which browser we are
    // running into (IE or others) and assigns
    // the correct element (object or embed) to
    // the "plugin" variable, that we will use.
    //

    var plugin;

    if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE') != -1)
    {
        plugin = document.getElementById('ie_plugin');
    }
    else
    {
        plugin = document.getElementById('np_plugin');
    }
    //
    // This is a local JS function used by our form
    // element to call the plugin functions using
    // the "plugin" variable that we defined above
    //

    function openNewMovie()
    {
        var url = document.forms['videoSelector'].movie.value;

        if(url != '')
        {
            plugin.Open(url);
        }
    }
 </script>

What does that do?

I have noticed the skin is different depending on the browser...
Title: Re: ToG News
Post by: TCube on August 09, 2007, 05:49:56 AM
Exactly,  so if U dont mind with the DivX official skin to the webplayer, here it goes for all browsers

Code: [Select]
<object classid="clsid:67DABFBF-D0AB-41fa-9C46-CC0F21721616"
            width="320" height="192"
            codebase="http://go.divx.com/plugin/DivXBrowserPlugin.cab">

      <param name="autoPlay" value="Your choice" />
      <param name="previewMessage" value="Your choice" />
      <param name="previewMessageFontSize" value="Your choice" />
      <param name="src" value="../../videos/Your choice.divx" />

      <embed type="video/divx" src="../../videos/Your choice.divx"
             width="Your choice" height="Your choice"
             autoPlay="Your choice"
             previewMessage="Click here to play" previewMessageFontSize="Your choice"
             pluginspage="http://go.divx.com/plugin/download/">
      </embed>
    </object>

p.s : I choosed the Stage6 layout with the R.V Brooks template (background color black) not the DivX.com one. Then also Opera still differ with JavaScript to allow people to select the video from a drop-down list but that's another story  ;)

Post by: TSG on August 09, 2007, 11:03:38 AM
Thanks for the code hints T-Cube, i have it working beautifully now, one small problem... IE seems to not wanna use stage6 skin...

FIXED, my bad lol, stage6 in all browsers now :) i would show a preview, but i don't have the bandwidth... maybe i can show a preview to one person at a time.

Went to your server, to check it out, i like my DivX player method better, i have the same effect as you combo box with the entire folder content, i am using the code i use for all my other media previews :)

I hate "one size fits for all" ...
in some case diff. temp. allows me to or not to give access to some DivX Webplayer context menu parameters

each to their own, lol

i am only providing the template, which is "one size fits all", if people want something different they can build on it, like any other template :)

Sorry people, i was going to release yesterday, but something came up so i haven't had time to bug test, i'll have it out as soon as possible. Meanwhile i've updated the README and my homesite url, figured out how to redirect my dns so i no longer have a port number in it...

Also, i am using an older version of jiroenwijering's flvplayer, it seems more reliable than the old player. I will be giving reference to the author in the readme.

His work is licensed under the Creative Common license.. you would have to make that clear on the page where you give direct links to the template installer ;D

Post by: TSG on August 12, 2007, 05:39:50 PM
Yes i would do it there aswell :P That section has extracts of the readme in it. I have been testing some more actually, and it works quite nice. There is no longer autostart, you have to hit a button to make it work, but thats the same with any other flvplayer *youtube, google video etc etc...*. I have tried to get the autostart working, but no dice.

Also, the player is only 2.5kb in size... yes, ino, that is smaller than the mp3 player :P

hi there,
if also work fine for me in firefox browser, that's great! ;D

I configured HFS in Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn, via WINE, today.... Only received one exception while editing the VFS and the minimize and maximize doesn't work very well. But other than that it works quite nicely.

It turns out Tahoma font, does not work well in Firefox in Ubuntu, even with Windows Font package installed... so i am now using 'Geneva, Arial, Helvetica sans-serif'. Other than that everything is working fine... i have had to make some modifications to the login page and the new buttons and now all seems to be working fine.

I have also been helping Giant Eagle with Terayon, we have made alot of progress, think the Terayon users will be very happy with the new layout that im helping to design for the Terayon (more like telling GE to do this and change that :P).

ToG users will find a couple of functions that will be in the new Terayon in the new ToG, although optimized for slow connections. Hopefully the next release will be more efficient and have more features... lets just wait and see... i have an essay and report to write before i can play more :P

Checkout the README (http://www.rejetto.com/hfsfiles/That_Stevens_Guy/thunderchicken_of_glory/readme/readme.htm)  :D I included the new buttons and font the ToG will be using.
