Title: [MOD] - Customize Flash Settings from ACP (version, header, width & height).
Post by: TheOracle on August 12, 2005, 12:17:10 AM: // Introduction

Answering this topic :

http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=9262.new#new

// Features

This MOD is a pretty special one. Here are the following integrated features :

- Abilities to modify the header logo's - version, width and height
- 10 additional flash tables which let's you modify ' each ' of the width and height.
- Available for all languages.

// Objective

Due to a lot of discussions regarding the FLASH OBJECT ID's configuration tags (and this includes the old forum), I thought there were some changes that needed to be done regarding the stability of their configuration - also due to some users abilities which requires more attention in order to play with these types of objects.

That said, all these configurations are now available under ACP.

// Affected files

- admin/settings.php
- includes/functions.php
- lang/<your_language>/admin.php (assuming english)
- mySQL's settings table

// Preparation of steps

Backup these 4 contents before applying these modifications.

// Step 1

In your admin/settings.php file,

find :

Code: [Select]
show_table_separator($setting_group[3], 2, "#setting_group_3"); show_setting_row("image_order", "show_image_order_select"); show_setting_row("image_sort", "show_image_sort_select"); show_setting_row("new_cutoff"); show_setting_row("image_border"); show_setting_row("image_cells"); show_setting_row("default_image_rows"); show_setting_row("custom_row_steps"); show_setting_row("image_table_width"); show_setting_row("image_table_cellspacing"); show_setting_row("image_table_cellpadding");

add below :

Code: [Select]
show_table_separator($setting_group[X], 2, "#setting_group_X"); show_setting_row("flash_version"); show_setting_row("flash_header_width"); show_setting_row("flash_header_height"); show_table_separator($setting_group[X], 2, "#setting_group_X"); show_setting_row("flash_content_width"); show_setting_row("flash_content_height"); show_table_separator($setting_group[X], 2, "#setting_group_X"); show_setting_row("flash_content1_width"); show_setting_row("flash_content1_height"); show_table_separator($setting_group[X], 2, "#setting_group_X"); show_setting_row("flash_content2_width"); show_setting_row("flash_content2_height"); show_table_separator($setting_group[X], 2, "#setting_group_X"); show_setting_row("flash_content3_width"); show_setting_row("flash_content3_height"); show_table_separator($setting_group[X], 2, "#setting_group_X"); show_setting_row("flash_content4_width"); show_setting_row("flash_content4_height"); show_table_separator($setting_group[X], 2, "#setting_group_X"); show_setting_row("flash_content5_width"); show_setting_row("flash_content5_height"); show_table_separator($setting_group[X], 2, "#setting_group_X"); show_setting_row("flash_content6_width"); show_setting_row("flash_content6_height"); show_table_separator($setting_group[X], 2, "#setting_group_X"); show_setting_row("flash_content7_width"); show_setting_row("flash_content7_height"); show_table_separator($setting_group[X], 2, "#setting_group_X"); show_setting_row("flash_content8_width"); show_setting_row("flash_content8_height"); show_table_separator($setting_group[X], 2, "#setting_group_X"); show_setting_row("flash_content9_width"); show_setting_row("flash_content9_height");
Note: The [X] must be replaced by the latest number and must go by + 1 for ' each ' of the $setting_group and #setting_group. This is a very important step !

// Step 2

In your includes/functions.php file,

find :

Code: [Select]
"width" => $width, "height" => $height,

add below :

Code: [Select]
"flash_version" => $config['flash_version'], "flash_header_width" => $config['flash_header_width'], "flash_header_height" => $config['flash_header_height'], "flash_content_width" => $config['flash_content_width'], "flash_content_height" => $config['flash_content_height'], "flash_content1_width" => $config['flash_content1_width'], "flash_content1_height" => $config['flash_content1_height'], "flash_content2_width" => $config['flash_content2_width'], "flash_content2_height" => $config['flash_content2_height'], "flash_content3_width" => $config['flash_content3_width'], "flash_content3_height" => $config['flash_content3_height'], "flash_content4_width" => $config['flash_content4_width'], "flash_content4_height" => $config['flash_content4_height'], "flash_content5_width" => $config['flash_content5_width'], "flash_content5_height" => $config['flash_content5_height'], "flash_content6_width" => $config['flash_content6_width'], "flash_content6_height" => $config['flash_content6_height'], "flash_content7_width" => $config['flash_content7_width'], "flash_content7_height" => $config['flash_content7_height'], "flash_content8_width" => $config['flash_content8_width'], "flash_content8_height" => $config['flash_content8_height'], "flash_content9_width" => $config['flash_content9_width'], "flash_content9_height" => $config['flash_content9_height'],
// Step 3

In your lang/english/admin.php file, above the ?> tag,

add :

Code: [Select]
/*-- Setting-Group X --*/ $setting_group[X]="Macromedia Flash Player - Header Settings"; $setting['flash_version'] = "Which version of Macromedia Flash are you using ? Example: 7,0,0,0"; $setting['flash_header_width'] = "Header width Example: 800"; $setting['flash_header_height'] = "Header height Example: 600"; /*-- Setting-Group X --*/ $setting_group[X]="Personnalized flash settings - 1st content"; $setting['flash_content_width'] = "width for 1st content Example: 800"; $setting['flash_content_height'] = "height for 1st content Example: 600"; /*-- Setting-Group X --*/ $setting_group[X]="Personnalized flash settings - 2nd content"; $setting['flash_content1_width'] = "width for 2nd content Example: 800"; $setting['flash_content1_height'] = "height for 2nd content Example: 600"; /*-- Setting-Group X --*/ $setting_group[X]="Personnalized flash settings - 3nd content"; $setting['flash_content2_width'] = "width for 3nd content Example: 800"; $setting['flash_content2_height'] = "height for 3nd content Example: 600"; /*-- Setting-Group X --*/ $setting_group[X]="Personnalized flash settings - 4nd content"; $setting['flash_content3_width'] = "width for 4nd content Example: 800"; $setting['flash_content3_height'] = "height for 4nd content Example: 600"; /*-- Setting-Group X --*/ $setting_group[X]="Personnalized flash settings - 5nd content"; $setting['flash_content4_width'] = "width for 5nd content Example: 800"; $setting['flash_content4_height'] = "height for 5nd content Example: 600"; /*-- Setting-Group X --*/ $setting_group[X]="Personnalized flash settings - 6nd content"; $setting['flash_content5_width'] = "width for 6nd content Example: 800"; $setting['flash_content5_height'] = "height for 6nd content Example: 600"; /*-- Setting-Group X --*/ $setting_group[X]="Personnalized flash settings - 7nd content"; $setting['flash_content6_width'] = "width for 7nd content Example: 800"; $setting['flash_content6_height'] = "height for 7nd content Example: 600"; /*-- Setting-Group X --*/ $setting_group[X]="Personnalized flash settings - 8nd content"; $setting['flash_content7_width'] = "width for 8nd content Example: 800"; $setting['flash_content7_height'] = "height for 8nd content Example: 600"; /*-- Setting-Group X --*/ $setting_group[X]="Personnalized flash settings - 9nd content"; $setting['flash_content8_width'] = "width for 9nd content Example: 800"; $setting['flash_content8_height'] = "height for 9nd content Example: 600"; /*-- Setting-Group X --*/ $setting_group[X]="Personnalized flash settings - 10nd content"; $setting['flash_content9_width'] = "width for 10nd content Example: 800"; $setting['flash_content9_height'] = "height for 10nd content Example: 600 ";
Note: Same steps applies here for the [X].

// Step 4

In your phpmyadmin,

apply :

Code: [Select]
insert into 4images_settings values ('flash_version', ''), ('flash_header_width', ''), ('flash_header_height', ''), ('flash_content_width', ''), ('flash_content_height', ''), ('flash_content1_width', ''), ('flash_content1_height', ''), ('flash_content2_width', ''), ('flash_content2_height', ''), ('flash_content3_width', ''), ('flash_content3_height', ''), ('flash_content4_width', ''), ('flash_content4_height', ''), ('flash_content5_width', ''), ('flash_content5_height', ''), ('flash_content6_width', ''), ('flash_content6_height', ''), ('flash_content7_width', ''), ('flash_content7_height', ''), ('flash_content8_width', ''), ('flash_content8_height', ''), ('flash_content9_width', ''), ('flash_content9_height', '');
Assuming your prefix table name is : 4images_, you may execute it right away. If not, please modify it in order to match with your settings table name.

// Functionnality

Assuming you wish to add your header logo on top of your site, here's an example on how this works from your HTML templates files :

Code: [Select]
 <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version={flash_version}" width="{flash_header_width}" height="{flash_header_height}" /> <param name="movie" value="{media_src}"> <param name="quality" value="high"> <param name="play" value="true"> <param name="scale" value="false"> <embed src="{media_src}" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="{flash_header_width}" height="{flash_header_height}"></embed></object></td>
As for the customized flash, let's do the first one :

Code: [Select]
 <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version={flash_version}" width="{flash_content_width}" height="{flash_content_height}" /> <param name="movie" value="{media_src}"> <param name="quality" value="high"> <param name="play" value="true"> <param name="scale" value="false"> <embed src="{media_src}" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="{flash_content_width}" height="{flash_content_height}"></embed></object></td>
// Installation completed

This completes the installation of this MOD. To try it out, simply go to your ACP - > settings and you can't miss it. It is right below the image settings.

Good luck !

a screenshot would work ;)
Title: Re: [MOD] - Customize Flash Settings from ACP (version, header, width & height).
Post by: TheOracle on August 13, 2005, 08:32:36 PM: A screenshot wouldn't be a solution neither since the fields are two big in order to fit in one single image. Secondly, if I could post an image from the forum without involving my URL in - I would consider it.
