29 March 2010 ------------- Wijering4 re-written so that settings are filtered during the admin save. This means we don't have to process them for blanks and defaults when we render the player since we only get settings for things that have actually been set. This is working well and can now be migrated to the other players that do this. FlowPlayer3 settings form tidied up a bit to use some radio buttons where it makes sense to do so. 28 March 2010 ------------- HUGE changes to the way SWF Tools performs and handles playlists! SWF Tools now has its own cache mechanism which dramatically increases the render time for a page. Once a piece of content has been rendered the result is placed in {cache_swftools} ready for the next request. This doesn't help with input filter content as that is cached by the input filter itself. But it makes a massive difference on CCK which otherwise manually rebuilds the content on each pass. To put this in context, a series of three images being passed from CCK and rendered in JW ImageRotator takes 0.14 seconds when the cache is empty. Once the cache is populated that falls to 0.00072 seconds. That is about 200 times faster! The xml playlist function has also been completely overhauled. We no longer write a physical file to the file system. Instead we create an entry in {cache_swftools} and then we serve it via a menu callback to swftools/playlist/nnn, where nnn is the cid for the playlist. This means we eliminate the need to keep checking if we have a writeable directory for the playlists, and we don't end up with a directory full of xml! When {cache_swftools} is flushed we simply rebuilt the xml. It also means the end experience for the user is much more consistent. When you hit "Clear cached data" on the Performance page the xml files are cleared. Embedding admin form tidied up - Always add JavaScript check box replaced with radios which looks a bit better, and it is easier to understand what the options are. Re-written default player so instead of storing multiple variables we store a single array called swftools_handlers. This means we need no special code to use profiles with this, and working out what player is needed is simplified. .install updated so it migrates existing player handling settings. FlowPlayer3 enabled for profiling, including the color scheme. hook_swftools_profile_clone() created as a result. SWF Tools can automatically clone the primary settings when it clones, but FlowPlayer3 has additional settings that we need to copy. We use hook_swftools_profile_clone() to let player modules do arbitrary stuff (like copying their extra settings) so that the clone process works properly. This showed up because color schemes didn't clone at first! 27 March 2010 ------------- This commit is on HEAD and contains the new SWF Tools Profiles module! 23 March 2010 ------------- swftools.js used the name swfobject for the object it was retrieving. This didn't seem to cause a problem, but I've renamed it swftoolsObject to avoid clashing. 20 March 2010 ------------- FlowPlayer3 now has accessible controls and auto-pause behavior. Settings put on admin page to enable accessible links. Auto-pause behavior will work under regular embedding or FlowPlayer3 embedding (after a lot of puzzling). FlowPlayer3 accessible controls and auto-pause tested under IE/FF/Chrome in all embedding methods and working ok. All modules changed so they use hook_init() to put JavaScript on the page. They typically call swftools_module_add_js() so we can add script at the init stage, or at the embedding stage if we don't want script on all pages. Accessible CSS moved to a common swftools.css file, rather than having several CSS files with the same class in them. 19 March 2010 ------------- Wijering4 and ImageRotator _settings() re-written to eliminate recursion over the entire array of settings and to just process booleans. Then use array_diff() to strip blank and 'default' settings. Finally implemented expressInstall feature under swfobject2 embedding! OnePixelOut _settings() rewritten to eliminate array iteration and to just call array_diff(). swftools_init() re-written so it no longer calls all the embedding methods with an 'add_js' request. Let each player / embedding module decide for itself via its own hook_init(). Player and embedding methods have had hook_init() added, but we must make sure scripts are in place when we render content, so they call swftools_[module]_add_js() to trigger the addition. The same function is called by the player/embedding functions to ensure scripts are in place. swftools.js re-written as swftools.getObject was unreliable with FireFox. Tests locally have been ok under IE/FF/Chrome using direct and swfobject embedding for OnePixelOut, Wijering4 and WordPress audio. Not sure why tests on March 13 to March 16 seemed to work. Probably user error on my part! 18 March 2010 ------------- Major tidy up of swftools_swftools_embed() to clear out repetitive code. Re-worked swftools_set_size() so we no longer interrogate the player size on every call, but use the defaults the player provides. Now uses array operators to simplify the code, rather than multiple if {} functions. If no height or width can be assigned this function will now set 100% instead. Re-worked the embedding parameters to eliminate need to call _swftools_tf() when they are retrieved - they are returned already in the proper format. Update added to swftools.install to migrate existing installations. No longer necessary for individual players to set the height and width on $vars->params, we can let SWF Tools do it if height/width is passed on $vars->flashvars. Code removed and checked each player continues to behave. Re-worked _settings() in wijering4, imagerotator and wpaudio modules. Get rid of a foreach iteration and replace with a simple array_diff() to cancel unset and default settings. 17 March 2010 ------------- WordPress audio player settings page created. Accessible markup for WordPress and Wijering is now assigned during hook_flashvars not hook_swftools_alter since we know we will only add it to the appropriate player so we should not interrogate every call to swftools. 16 March 2010 ------------- Updates need to go in swftools.install since the player module names have changed, and when the new modules are installed Drupal will assume they are the highest update level. Parcel all update routines in to swftools.install since this is present in all cases and will properly execute updates to all components. JavaScript all tidied up. New swftools namespace created, and a generic function swftools.getObject(id) created to allow a common way to pick up the DOM element containing the requested object. All player modules now use this call when accessing a player via script. 15 March 2010 ------------- OnePixelOut auto-close JavaScript re-written and now much more elegant. ID mechanism in OnePixelOut module changed to generate matching player and div id which makes JavaScript much easier. Code ported from WordPress script so that we get proper support in IE, FF and Chrome. Not tested more widely yet. Wijering4 auto-close JavaScript improved / simplified. WordPress audio player ids now set to same as container id. 14 March 2010 ------------- Added name parameter via attributes for SWF Object 2 embedding. Discovered this is needed to enable proper JavaScript interaction. Start of major re-work of Wijering4 accessible controls, using code adapted from WordPress audio. Keeps the JavaScript in a separate file, and also lets auto-close behavior be implemented for Wijering4. Code written in separate script file, and accessible control behaviors are now attached via JQuery so the page markup is clean, and any element can be configured to activate a player. WordPress audio JavaScript tidied up some more. 13 March 2010 ------------- #584058: Possible fix to accomodate the user supplying a relative local path that should not be expanded to within sites/default/files. To handle this case the supplied path must start with a slash. Fixes to direct embedding markup - could generate duplicate ids. Further work on WordPress audio JavaScript to implement auto-close of players. http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/flashembed/testsuite/18_nested_iecc_com.html was very helpful for this - now have proper functionality in IE, Chrome and FF which we haven't had before now! Fix swliveconnect setting on settings page, and on direct embedding markup. 12 March 2010 ------------- Added function swftools_flatten_array() as a common handler to flatten a multi-dimensional array to a single key array. This is used by several modules to convert an array of settings from the configuration page to a flashvars array. #725752: Use filefield or link field descriptions as the titles in WordPress audio player. This is now implemented. Implemented autoclose JavaScript for WordPress audio player module. Only seems to work consistently across browsers with SWF Object 2 embedding. The same is true of the OnePixelOut module, so assume it is to do with the double object embedding and the way it is interpreted? 11 March 2010 ------------- Started work on support for WordPress audio player (#519196). Modified playlist generation code so that it is not necessary to crunch the playlist and produce an empty xml file for players that don't need xml (ie. FlowPlayer3 and WordPress audio). This will speed up pages not using xml based playlists. Deleted swftools_flowplayer3_swftools_flowplayer3_mediaplayer_playlist() as a result of the above. SWF Object embedding modified so it no longer outputs height and width in the parameters array. It didn't hurt having them there, but it is not needed. 10 March 2010 ------------- Wijering4 accessibility controls now properly executed by the Wijering4 module and not as part of swfobject2.module. The control markup has also been made themeable via theme_swftools_wijering4_accessible() so it can be over-ridden if required. Accessible controls fixed as they were not working properly with the latest version of the player. Longtail docs don't seem to match actual behavior! No longer explicitly set an id on the swfobject2 object - just let it inherit from the parent container. This means the id of the swf object is the same in both direct embedding and JavaScript embedding. 09 March 2010 ------------- Fixed handling of CCK content formatted as a playlist but where a single item is passed to an alternate formatter. Alternate formatter settings page will now auto-discover field types that have been formatted as a playlist and present them. Fixed swftools_create_url() so that private files will be output using either clean or non-clean urls, depending on site setting. This does not affect public urls which are already a valid path. When CCK calls swf to generate the output it now passes the element on ['othervars']['cck'] so that the players can access data if they wish. E.g. a player can access the file title or description directly, if it so wished. 08 March 2010 ------------- #555692: Added support for setting configuration options on play button for FlowPlayer3. 07 March 2010 ------------- #727688: Fatal error when passing an array of filenames to swf() function. Problem was the code that standardises the array not properly creating an array from the filenames. 04 March 2010 ------------- #732038 by mstrelan: Added support for controlbar radius property. Added support for additional FlowPlayer3 controlbar properties that are now available. Added support for additional FlowPlayer3 controlbar colors that are now available. 03 March 2010 ------------- #730488 by Silicon.Valet: Corrected left setting to right, and added linkUrl and linkWindow settings. SimpleViewer settings remapped to store in a single array and eliminate multiple calls to database to retrieve settings. Settings form simplified to eliminate use of 'flat' mode. 02 March 2010 ------------- OnePixelOut admin settings modified to use standard system settings form submit handler, rather than having its own handler. #730488 by Silicon.Valet: Added configuration settings to allow custom logo when using commercial FlowPlayer. Fixed bug in FlowPlayer3 module that broke initial splash images passed in via the input filter. FlowPlayer3 default settings now cached so that database hit is only made on first call. Fixed bug in direct embedding that could result in duplicate id's being used when mixing embedding methods on a page. Routines to return defaults tweaked to eliminate array_merge function and simply fetch defaults from database. All players now cache their results. 01 March 2010 ------------- Embedding parameters rolled up in to a single array. Now all parameters can be retrieved in a single variable_get call. Use function _swftools_params() to fetch either the stored defaults, or the full set of defaults. #464312 by slurslee: Added colorpicker 2 support to settings pages to make it easier to assign custom colors. 28 February 2010 ---------------- Flashvar encoding is now only done in the embedding function itself, so each module is free to encode the flashvars as it wishes. This also eliminates the problem of double encoding. It should therefore fix #559250. Function _swftools_get_flashvars_string() deleted. #536090: bgcolor made optional on the settings page, and if not set then it is not put on the page, allowing the movie background color to take precedence. 27 February 2010 ---------------- Update routine added to Wijering4 to remap variables to the new structure. SimpleViewer xml outputter re-written to use theme functions (as JW4 and FP3) so it is easier to customise the produced markup. swftools_get_media_url() and swftools_get_media_path() functions eliminated by combining functionality into new swftools_src() function to simplify code. Flowplayer module updated to avoid complicated manipulation of arrays when storing and saving settings. ImageRotator updated to use external templates for xml generation. Settings page adjusted to avoid call to special form submission handler. Deleted custom admin form handler as this is no longer needed. All modules now store their settings directly via the standard settings handler. Update routines created for Wijering4 and ImageRotator to migrate existing settings to the new format. swftools_strip_base_root() function deleted - no longer used anywhere. 15 February 2010 ---------------- Modified JW4 module so that flashvars array is flattened on first retrieval, not repeatedly flattened when there are multiple calls. 14 February 2010 ---------------- #470068 - JW4 skins can now be loaded from the local library by just providing the skin name. If a full url is provided that will be used instead. The admin form will autocomplete with names of skin files from the local library. JW4 xml output corrected to output author in the right place. JW4 admin form re-written so it just works as a standard form, without calling the special SWF Tools handler. At the moment this means default settings from an existing set up will be lost - need to see if we can write a migration, or otherwise ask users to make a note of their current settings, reset the form, and then save again. Added plugins to the settings page. Supply a comma separated list of plugins to use, e.g. spectrumvisualizer-1 will overlay a visualizer. 13 February 2010 ---------------- Major refactoring of playlisting code, and start of implementation of multiple thumbnail capabilities. Focussed on JW4 at the moment, FP3 to follow when the code is more stable. Fix error message on JW4 settings page. 12 February 2010 ---------------- #712222 - removed stray in direct embedding code. 07 February 2010 ---------------- #568260 by lyricnz - foreach error on CCK formatters page fixed by checking that an array is available first. Added height and widths to definitions of generic flv and mp3 players to avoid repeated calls to image_get_info() #465708 by macho - supplied patch used as a start point to allow link fields to be formatted in to players by SWF Tools. Currently renders multiple links separate files. Playlist conversion to follow later. All player definitions now include a default height and width to avoid repeat calls to image_get_info() for a basic player configuration. Added support for CCK text fields and link fields to be used as a source for playlists. At present streaming sources are not supported in playlists. Fixed a number of notice errors in JW4 module due to tests for array indices that might not have been set. Fix JW4 module as splash images had stopped working. Reinstated by using code from FlowPlayer3 module. Working now for local path, full url, via SWF input filter and also as CCK thumbnail. 06 February 2010 ---------------- Lots of work in progress. Changes will be documented further later, but in summary: - support files are no longer placed in the module directory, but go under sites/all/libraries/xxx. This is to bring the module in line with the general approach now preferred. Library paths are slightly different to the original shared path to try and simplify downloading of libraries. - SWF Object, Lutman, UFO and JW3 have been deprecated and removed. - the methods array no longer uses shared_file but library, which better reflects where the path is pointing. Since all support libraries are now expected in one location the swftools_get_player_path() functions is removed and code tidied up (simplified!) as a result. - The old 'default background image' has been removed - hardly anything used this. - All modules downloaded locally to verify they are still functional, and a quick test was OK for all modules. - Minor fixes to download paths to point to the proper resource locations. 03 February 2010 ---------------- #589326 - shorter fix implemented, and similar issue corrected in calls to generate playlists. SWF Tools direct embedding was producing invalid mark up as the same id was used three times. Fixed by appending -1 and -2 to the second occurrences. #348935 - height and width setting added to OnePixelOut player. OnePixelOut start/stop JavaScript fixed - classes had changed which was preventing the JQuery selector from finding the player IDs. 02 February 2010 ---------------- #589326 - PHP 5.3 causes passing by reference through module_invoke() to throw an error. Custom invoke function created to fix this. 01 February 2010 ---------------- #625134 - Fix flowplayer.module to use the SWF Tools namespace by prefixing all modules, functions and constants with swftools_ to avoid namespace collisions. This bug affects all SWF Tools child modules so the fix will be propogated through all modules. As part of this change the genericplayers.module file has been renamed to swftools.genericplayers.inc to better reflect its proper place/purpose. Not all changes fully tested as at 01 February 2010 - hoping the wider community won't mind testing some of these! 07 October 2009 --------------- IDs are now generated and cleaned immediately upon a call to swf(). The built in form_clean_id() function is used for this. Previously this code appeared in multiple places just prior to output. By establishing the id much earlier on it is available throughout SWF Tools. This is needed as part of preparation for hook_alter() calls which are planned to allow the content to be modified. It may be necessary for hook_alter() functions to know the id if they want to target the element with JavaScript. 07 October 2009 --------------- Following modifications to Wijering work started on a similar implementation for FlowPlayer 3. The playlisting routine has been separated in to two templates. One is used to generate playlist elements, and returns a series of JSON strings that define the element. This allows custom content to be placed in the playlist, e.g. fields from ID3, or something else entirely that could come from a custom plugin. The second template outputs the playlist on the page when the HTML playlisting option is set. This can then process data from the JSON playlist to produce a formatted player. This sounds complex, so the easiest thing is to look at the included templates. Note - sanitisation of data is not yet in place! Note - implementation is incomplete and not fully tested - may break some existing elements of the module (suspect splash images will be affected at the moment). Note - still to determine if this is the best way to go. In principle it seems good since the output is now separated from the module code. Probably quite a bit of optimisation to do though. 06 October 2009 --------------- Wijering4 playlist generator modified to use a template to produce the xml. This means that the playlist format is now separated from the module code and it can be customised and adjusted if required. For example, Wijering4 supports various playlist xml formats each of which can contain different content. It also means the playlist can use other data that has been added to the playlist array to produce highly customised playlisting capabilities if required. Note - sanitisation of data is not yet in place! 02 October 2009 --------------- Preliminary support for linking to media using a CCK textfield. Does not support remote swf files as the height/width detection fails, but good for files that use a media player. Also supports streaming media - specify the server and the file separated by a space. Initial support for the getID3 module to allow extraction of data from files and use in playlists. Not fully in place yet. 30 September 2009 ----------------- #564512 - Fixed incorrect use of url() when defining SWFTOOLS_DEFAULT_BG constant. #586540 by peximo - fix to show correct path when on the admin/settings/embed page and a custom player path has been set. 23 September 2009 ----------------- Bug discovered in playlist function when it is called with a specific action. 22 September 2009 ----------------- CCK playlist formatter function changed so it now passes the description as a title to make better playlist presentation. Experimental support for associating a thumbnail image with a piece of content using a CCK formatter. At the moment only works with a single upload. 22 September 2009 ----------------- Branch DRUPAL-6--3 created to manage code that is being developed to support playlists and advanced features in FlowPlayer3. Branch DRUPAL-6--2 contains the current stable release code and will be used for critical bug fixes. Any fixes applied to branch DRUPAL-6--2 will also have to be committed to DRUPAL-6--3 until a release is made from the new branch. HEAD is being reserved for work on SWF Tools 7. 20 September 2009 ----------------- alt text must be suppressed otherwise players are not rendered until they are activated. In the long run it would be good to support these for player heavy pages since it minimises the amount of flash loaded, but some clever styling and scripting is needed to get this working well. For now revert to the old way of doing things by suppressing alternate text. 19 September 2009 ----------------- #576470 - In response to problems with the 3.1.3 release of FlowPlayer support for the flowplayer.js embedding script has been added. This allows the flowplayer module to over-ride the default embedding setting and use the embedding script instead. This script can co-exist with SWF Object 2 so mixed content will still work. As part of this change support for custom control bars has been added by allowing a custom name to be specified on the settings page. Implementing flowplayer.js support means that the code is now pretty much in place to allow use of other JavaScript extensions, like the embed or playlist features. It also exposes the API so things like accessible controls should now be possible in FlowPlayer. Default player and stream plug-ins updated to 3.1.3 and 3.1.2 respectively. 16 August 2009 -------------- #525832 - SWFTOOLS_DEFAULT_HTML_ALT should be translatable. As an initial fix this has been implemented in the constant definition, but some checks are needed to see if we should be translating at each point of use. 15 August 2009 -------------- #511682 - Short filter tip changed to show [swf] syntax instead of syntax. #450126 - If swfobject2.js isn't available locally then load it by referring to http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/swfobject/2.2/swfobject.js. Status pages will report the js as missing, but it won't prevent the method being used. 28 April 2009 ------------- #446578 - OnePixelOut players closed incorrectly when flashvars were assigned. This was due to a glitch in the way the flashvars string was processed to find the playerID. 22 April 2009 ------------- #424866 - Wijering 4 module will now check to see if either the viral, or the non-viral players are present, and it will use either (with preference for viral). This should make the download process easier since viral is the default download offered on the longtail video website. #408072 - JW Image Rotator controls can be set to hidden as a default from the settings page. It can be over-ridden on a player basis by using shownavigation in the input filter. #395854 - Documentation links fixed for FP2 and FP3. 21 April 2009 ------------- #414708 - Request to add accessible controls to the Wijering player. An example of how to do this is available at www.longtailvideo.com/support/tutorials/Making-Video-Accessible, which uses anchor tags to trigger some JavaScript to render the player accessible. I've done a rough and ready implementation of this just to check it works. The feature is enabled from the Wijering 4 settings page, and it relies on using SWF Object 2 for embedding the content since it has to know the player id. 21 April 2009 ------------- #432188 - Modified code to automatically stop other onepixelout players if there are multiple players on a page. The code from onepixelout has been adapted to avoid using a fairly inelegant use of setInterval to keep triggering the registration of players. 20 April 2009 ------------- Discovered simpleviewer had stopped working. The filepaths in the xml were wrong as they included the partial path to the files directory. Not sure if this was introduced by the fix on March 30. Patched to make it work again, but should probably follow up March 30 change in more detail to check. Checked - the issue was that CCK passes a partial path (sites/default/files/image.jpg) and this is what causes the error. A filter construct (files="image.jpg") was ok. So the fix is good since it is necessary to support CCK. 19 April 2009 ------------- #424378 - When using the CCK formatters it is now possible to specify an alternate handler for the case of a single file being passed to a playlist. This is primarily of use when handling images where a single image can now be displayed as a plain image, instead of being placed in a slideshow. FlowPlayer3 setteings changed so cache is only cleared if new settings are submitted. 18 April 2009 ------------- #411348 - FlowPlayer3 canvas size is now configurable on the settings page and can also be set through an input filter. The available embedding methods are now cached, rather than having to be built from scratch. This should improve performance quite a bit, especially when JavaScript is being added to every page. Caches now flushed when FlowPlayer3 settings page is seen so that changes to player configuration are reflected. 31 March 2009 ------------- #418254 by Mark Theunissen: Fix generation of unique id in lutman.module. Try #351725 by glorinand in order to fix #401140. 30 March 2009 ------------- #418550 - Fix spelling of initialize to use US English. #404076 - Added support for turning multiple CCK fields in to a playlist. Fixed a bug that became apparent in swftools_playlist_prepare_data() function that could result in incorrect filepaths being built. 28 March 2009 ------------- Fix error in regex that was used by filters that prevented [] being used in place of <>. 20 March 2009 ------------- Added integrated support for CCK filefield. Based on #404076 and patches from stormsweeper (/user/131571) and Amitaibu (/user/57511). Enables a formatter that attaches to filefields to allow the content to be rendered via SWF Tools. 19 March 2009 ------------- Bring back modified admin form that sets an error and provides the path if a JavaScript embedding file can't be found (#394276). 18 March 2009 ------------- #405498 - Background gradient for control bar was missing from settings page. 17 March 2009 ------------- In response to #348437 reported by stormsweeper two changes are implemented. Added status report to main Drupal status page, and SWF Tools status, to give a warning if the zlib library isn't present. This library is needed to read height and width data from compressed swf files. Secondly, player modules now report a default height and width, so if all else fails we can fall back on those so that media content will display correctly. As part of this the sizing function has been separated in to a new swftools_set_size() function to try and clarify the code. 16 March 2009 ------------- Migrated enhanced color chooser from HEAD. You need to refresh the theme cache to activate this. Easiest way is go to Administer > Site building > Modules, don't change anything, and hit Save configuration. Brought in support for playslists based on streamed media from HEAD. All media has to be on the same stream - at present you can't mix streamed and non- streamed content. Brought in support for a splash image with FlowPlayer3 - use image="image.jpg" in the input filter (as for Wijering4). Added support for product key for commercial FlowPlayers. Disabled relative urls - more work is needed to confirm that this feature is working properly. In the interim go back to full paths. 15 March 2009 ------------- FlowPlayer module was merging $vars->othervars in to the configuration array for the FlowPlayer. This may be contributory in the broken content that was reported in #401888. 11 March 2009 ------------- Reverse code added recently that produces relative urls - it doens't work correctly for sites that aren't using clean urls. Tackle this properly as part of the rewrite of url building that is planned, and that will need to try and address this, plus international sites. 08 March 2009 ------------- #394858 - Autodetection of action was broken as a result of an intended optimisation. Gone back to the old method. #394486 - FlowPlayer3 default player set to latest version. 06 March 2009 ------------- Quick fix for #384876 until I can come up with a better solution (prevents the SWF Tools playlist cache clear from deleting everything in the root of the file system!) 06 March 2009 ------------- Code for obtaining available methods simplified further - simply calls module_invoke_all('swftools_methods') to trigger all modules reporting. RTMP plugin for FlowPlayer3 now configurable on settings page. colorpicker.js and colorpicker.css prefixed with flowplayer3_ to avoid any (unlikely) namespace clashes. FlowPlayer3 commented heavily to try and make this a good reference point for future modules. Comments could probably be extracted to developer documentation at some future point to slim down code. 05 March 2009 ------------- VERY early support for streaming of single flv files via JW4 and FlowPlayser3 players. More a proof of concept at this point as I haven't researched it! At the moment the playes don't support playlists, but they seem ok for single files (testing locally using Red5). swf() function changed to support this - the file assignment for the filename to a flashvar no longer uses the $file_url which remains internal to SWF Tools, it now references $vars->othervars['file_url'] as this can be manipulated by player modules. This is necessary to put the data in the right format for JW4 player. Player modules that don't manipulate that variable should be unaffected. File existence checks skipped for streaming files as they could be on a very different path to the Drupal file system, so we'll not worry. To use streaming with FlowPlayer3 the streaming plugin must be added to the FlowPlayer3 shared folder. 28 February 2009 ---------------- Lots of tidying up of code done, and added many more comments. Added a number of docblocks to try and describe what functions do. Changed swftools_[player]_playlist function to be more consistent with Drupal hooks so they are now [module]_[player]_swftools_playlist. This change appears in all player modules. While minor it should make code a little easier to read. Changed calls to such hooks to use module_hook as this is a bit clearer. Moved code that defines the methods of SWF Tools itself in to a new function swftools_swftools_methods(). This is more logical since it is actually a hook in all other modules, so there is no reason SWF Tools should be any different. Also moved code that merges the generic player methods to this function since it makes the code that then assembles the available methods cleaner. Modified swf() so that you can call it with an array of filenames, in which case it will automatically prepare a playlist and return the markup - should be easier for end users, although the old system of calling swftools_prepare_playlist_data() and then swf_list() will still work. Deleted swftools_swftools_flashvars() as this hook didn't do anything. Refactored swftools_methods_available() as it didn't really need so many if / else if constructs. Added new function swftools_strip_base_root() that will try to strip the $base_root part out of path. What this means is that local files are given a relative path, rather than an absolute path. Not sure if this gives any real speed gain, but it looks a bit neater, and if swf isn't working it would help to highlight where an absolute path is being set. 26 February 2009 ---------------- Experimental - why have swf() and swf_list()? The swf() function can simply detect if an array of filenames was passed, and if it was then it can call swftools_prepare_playlist_data() and do what swf_list() does. 25 February 2009 ---------------- Initialise arrays in swf_list() function to suppress notice errors that are generated when function is called without passing all settings. 23 February 2009 ---------------- Fix coding in swftools.admin.status.inc so it doesn't generate multiple notice errors when rendering status report. Admin form changed to use the constant FLOWPLAYER3_MEDIAPLAYER, which makes it more consistent with code elsewhere. Support for allowscriptaccess parameter added (in response to #380580) 22 February 2009 ---------------- Issue with patch #371615 identified as an issue with flash node and the way Drupal handles null when writing to the database (converts to (int)0). Flash node updated to fix this issue, so patch #371615 can be reinstated. 19 Feburary 2009 ---------------- Reverse part of patch #371615 as it breaks flash node auto detection of mp3 and flv files as flash node passes a zero, rather than empty. 17 February 2009 --------------- Fix reset configuration options on Wijering and FlowPlayer. 16 Feburary 2009 ---------------- Minor fix to swftools_url_parse() to eliminate notice error when processing strings of parameters. swftools_flowplayer3_mediaplayer_playlist() simplified as it is not really necessary to produce a valid xml file. Tidy up use of . in concatanation of strings 12 February 2009 ---------------- #371735 - Fixed - incorrect construction of id tag in HTML. #371615 by KarenS - fix lines that result in PHP errors when parameters are not defined. 07 October 2008 --------------- #308515 - Fixed - string used for determining extension was empty when a remote file is being checked, so code changed to check a more appropriate string. 06 October 2008 --------------- Appending the nocache string to filenames seems to have broken content, but I'm sure it was working before. Recommitting without the cache setting until I can be sure it is working right. 03 October 2008 --------------- #314045 - Constants incorrectly defined - fixed. 23 September 2008 ----------------- Cumulative changes that address a number of issues. Identification of default players on the admin screen was wrong. swftools_get_media_url changed due to bug that resulted in double / appearing in the file path (#308172). Auto-detection of sizes changed so that players are always auto detected even when a remote media url is configured. Test content added to status page to help identify if SWF Tools is working. Missing php from is replaced by [swf ] during the prepare phase, so the code isn't stripped by HTML filters. [swf ] can be used directly when writing a filter. Filters can now be written using just [swf file=""] or [swf files=""] and filter will use file/files to determine if a playlist is intended. [swflist ] can still be used so old filter entries will work as originally planned. Filter amended to strip

from around the filter, to allow W3C validation to pass. Direct embedding mark-up changed to be standards compliant. swf() function parameters altered - now works more like the rest of Drupal 6 as an array of parameters is passed, rather than a series of parameters - pass an array with (optional) keys params, flashvars, othervars, methods. Params are passed to the generation code, flashvars becomes the flashvars string, othervars and method are passed to SWF Tools handlers. Check for existence of playlist directory (and creation as required) added to swftools_get_playlist_path() so it is created without having to visit settings page. Constant SWFTOOLS_INSTALLED added to make it easier to notify other modules if SWF Tools is available. Adding js to every page now defaults to TRUE (and SWFTOOLS_ALWAYS_ADD_JS added as a constant for code legibility). This means that SWF Tools behaves as "expected" with filters, without users having to specifically set this option. More descriptive messages when no player is configured, so users are directed to the appropriate settings page. Various drupal_set_messages made translate by use of t() function. Wording of settings pages changed to make more consistent with rest of Drupal. When playing media file_url is added to othervars['file_url'] so that player modules can access the media file path if they need to. This is particularly required for FlowPlayer to allow the appropriate config string to be built. swftools_push_js() added to hook_init(), rather than hook_menu() since it is technically not a menu function! New code added to direct embedding to assign an object id to the outer (IE6) object - without this JW Media Player 4 with IE6 causes pages to say they have an error. swftools.admin.inc ------------------ Form creation code adjusted to suit v6 menu call back Allow full screen parameter added to embed form Missing files now generate a download link if the download key is set in the methods array. Settings page altered slightly to put all file handling options together (some were under embedding settings). Means embedding settings is now simple for new users. Settings moved to sit under Administer > Site configuration > SWF Tools rather than promoting SWF Tools to a top level below Administer. Option added to file handling to allow SWF Tools to respond to requests to access swf, jpg, jpeg, mp3, flv and xml under a private file system. Cache flushing now calls drupal_flush_all_caches() which clears filters, block and page caches, so is more likely to ensure changes to flash content are properly rendered later. swftools.admin.status.inc ------------------------- Added a status page that generates reports much like the system status report. Intent is to provide some diagnostics if an installation isn't working. At the moment it can report on whether the embedding and playback features appear to be correctly configured (methods are available, supporting files are available etc) Status report is found at admin/reports/swftools. genericplayers.module --------------------- Menu updated to v6 Option to disable autoplay flv disabled as generic player always autoplays. swfobject.info -------------- Modified to v6 swftools.info ------------- Modified to v6 swfobject.module ---------------- Added a download key to swfobject_swftools_methods() so the admin form can provide a link to the required files onepixelout.module --------------- Menu updated to v6 Added a download key to onepixelout_swftools_methods() so the admin form can provide a link to the required files _swf() and _swflist() functions removed as redundant wijering.info ------------- Name string renamed JW Media Player 3 to make explicit to version 4 module. Description string changed to make explicit this is for JW Player 3. wijering.module --------------- Menu updated to v6 Added a download key to wijering_swftools_methods() so the admin form can provide a link to the required files _swf() and _swflist() functions removed as redundant wijering.admin.inc ------------------ wijering_admin_form_submit updated to forms API v6 Form routine tweaked to make it look more like a regular system settings form, ie Reset to default option added to admin form Confirmation message added to simulate settings form wijering4.module / wijering4.admin.inc / wijering4.info ------------------------------------------------------- Initial version of a module to support Wijering media player 4. Some of the parameters have been renamed, some are gone, and some new ones have been implemented. imagerotator.module / imagerotator.admin.in / imagerotator.info --------------------------------------------------------------- Image rotator separated out from JW Media Player 3 - logically this is a different module to the main player module, so it seems sensible to have this as a separate package. To the end user it makes a logical distinction between media players and the image cycler. Also, the JW Image Rotator is still at version 3, so to have Media Player 4 and Image Rotator 3 would mean enabling Media Player 3 which is counter intuitive! Internally it still uses the name WIJERING_IMAGEROTATOR so the existing variables are preserved, even though this is now a distinct module. lutman.module ------------- Added download key to methods array to allow easy download. lutman.info ----------- Updated to v6 Is descriptor right? It says lutman is included, but it isn't? ufo.module ------------- Added download key to methods array to allow easy download. Removed alert pop-ups. ufo.info ----------- Updated to v6 simpleviewer.module ------------------- Menu updated to v6. swfobject2.module / swfobject2.info ----------------------------------- Support for SWF Object 2 added, and output made standards compliant. Uses the flashvars in array format, rather than string form, to provide clearer javascript, and seems to be working ok. Original version of this module added the js to the page header, but that causes content generated with filters to break! js now added to page body, rather than header - remembered that when filter caching is enabled the js won't get added to the page header! New code added to assign unique id to the object (using swf followed by the same id numbers as the div. Without this JW Media Player 4 with IE6 causes pages to say they have an error. flowplayer.module / flowplayer.info / flowplayer.admin.inc ---------------------------------------------------------- Feature request under SWF Tools 5.1 asked for support for FlowPlayer. This module introduces initial support, but more work needed at the moment. Adding this module resulted in the changes to swfobject2 to use the array format, and the addition of the media file path to the resolved_methods array in SWF Tools itself. Private file handling --------------------- Change to method of generating path seems to allow private files to work. Tested with playback of a swf, and also an mp3 via generic and Wijering players. If files are placed on the site via FTP then a SWF Tools option must be set on the File handling page to allow SWF Tools to grant access to media files. It allows access to swf, mp3, flv, xml, jpg, jpeg and png formats. If access is denied by any other module then access is not allowed, so content that is being protected by a module is not compromised by activating this setting. The default setting for allowing access to private files is OFF, so to let SWF Tools allow handling of private files it must be explicitly set by the user on the settings page (Administer > Site configuration > SWF Tools > File handling > Private file system). General ------- Broken identifier strings replaced with correct format UFO and SWFObject 1.5 are both superceded by SWFObject 2.0 - new module written but not tested extensively yet. Configuration pages moved to sit under Administer > Site configuration > SWF Tools, rather than having SWF Tools promoted to its own level. Default HTML alt added as a constant for clarity, and wording made a little more informative to assist users who don't see the content. File locations settings moved from embedding page to file handling page. This is more consistent, and presents new users with fewer options on the first settings page. Most people probably never change anything other than the embedding method at first. Issue queue ----------- 218326 - Full screen does not work 166804 - Fullscreen option for JW PLAYER 153780 - Full Screen Support using Wijering Flash Full screen now a parameter on the settings page, and passed to flash modules to enable it. 191279 - Strange escaping behaviour of ":" and "/" and 1 pixel out Player 173021 - 1PixelOut - Error Opening File 154364 - input formats! 202591 - 1pixelout can't find file Incorporated the suggested fix to reverse the encoding. This probably explains "203301 - Error Opening File" as well. 178283 - Patch to fix bug in "base" parameter for direct embedding Patch applied - base now properly set when using direct embedding mode. 179322 - variable_get for Flash Version incorrect Suggested fix applied. scale and swliveconnect had similar errors so fixed those too. 146935 - Menu titles get strange formatting because of surplus white space Fixed 157397 - file path for attachment is wrong Think this is fixed with modified file handling mechanism that was needed as the "double files" issue occurred with flash node too. 252956 - Private Uploads and SWFTools Should be fixed with new code that allows used of private file systems with SWF Tools. Note - SWF Tools must be allowed to grant access to playlists. 294163 - Standards Compliant Flash SWF Tools now produces standards complaint (XHTML 1.0 Strict) using either direct embedding or via SWF Object 2 *in most cases*. The filter component has been updated to string the

that wrap around the
containing the flash, but if you use the format in the middle of a paragraph this won't work properly and you will get code that FAILS validation. If validation is important then you may need to test pages containing to SWF Tools content to verify that they are validating properly. 181473 - FlowPlayer support FlowPlayer support has been added. 233375 - Upgrade to 6.0 Here it is! 186896 - Wijering player w/playlist shows up on IE, not on FF or Opera Have not been able to recreate this error, but seems to be ok under all tests during develop of SWF Tools 6, so assuming can be closed. ; $Id: CHANGELOG.txt,v 1.18.2.24.2.47 2010-03-29 22:07:14 stuartgreenfield Exp $
