In some other threads people are missing the bgcolor parameter for flash movies display.

This is necessary if you have (transparent) movies with light fonts and a board with light background.
Or if you have more than one templates with different backgrounds (light and dark) in the viewtopic's message area.

See some of those postings:
Flash MOD - Background colour
Flash Mod - Background of Flashmovie is transparent?

Here is how it can be managed to get the bgcolor parameter for flash movies in phpBB postings working.
You'll have to change the original mod's code at three places.

I want to mention first that I've installed the [2.0.6] Macromedia Flash Player BBcode MOD, for QBB
successfully on a heavy modded 2.0.4 board (thx to Davidls) BUT without any buttons and QBB stuff!

(This saved me 70% of the installation time and efforts. I don't need those buttons at the editor.
Users are afraid of too much buttons in the editor

Better is to have carefully updated the lang_bbcode.php helpfile as mentioned in the orig mod.
Please correct it. - There are dead links for the example movies in it so the php will never stop loading!
- Everyone who needs flash in his messages can and will copy & paste the correct code from there.)

So the three changes of the original mod's code are:

includes/bbcode.php

Code: Select all

	//Begin Flash Mod for 2.0.6
	$bbcode_tpl['flash'] = str_replace('{WIDTH}', '\\1', $bbcode_tpl['flash']);
	$bbcode_tpl['flash'] = str_replace('{HEIGHT}', '\\2', $bbcode_tpl['flash']);
	$bbcode_tpl['flash'] = str_replace('{LOOP}', '\\3', $bbcode_tpl['flash']);
	$bbcode_tpl['flash'] = str_replace('{URL}', '\\4', $bbcode_tpl['flash']);
	$bbcode_tpl['cf'] = str_replace('{URL}', '\\1', $bbcode_tpl['cf']);
	//End Flash Mod for 2.0.6

Replace with:

Code: Select all

		//Begin Flash Mod for 2.0.6
	$bbcode_tpl['flash'] = str_replace('{WIDTH}', '\\1', $bbcode_tpl['flash']);
	$bbcode_tpl['flash'] = str_replace('{HEIGHT}', '\\2', $bbcode_tpl['flash']);
	$bbcode_tpl['flash'] = str_replace('{BGCOLOR}', '\\3', $bbcode_tpl['flash']);
	$bbcode_tpl['flash'] = str_replace('{LOOP}', '\\4', $bbcode_tpl['flash']);
	$bbcode_tpl['flash'] = str_replace('{URL}', '\\5', $bbcode_tpl['flash']);
	$bbcode_tpl['cf'] = str_replace('{URL}', '\\1', $bbcode_tpl['cf']);
	//End Flash Mod for 2.0.6

Replace in the same file includes/bbcode.php

Code: Select all

	//Begin Flash Mod for 2.0.6
	//[flash width= heigth= loop=] and[ /flash ]
	$text = preg_replace("#\[flash width=([0-6]?[0-9]?[0-9]) height=([0-4]?[0-9]?[0-9]) loop=(true|false)\](([a-z]+?)://([^, \n\r]+))\[\/flash\]#si","[flash width=\\1 height=\\2 loop=\\3:$uid\]\\4[/flash:$uid]", $text); 
$text = preg_replace("#\[flash width=([0-6]?[0-9]?[0-9]) height=([0-4]?[0-9]?[0-9])\](([a-z]+?)://([^, \n\r]+))\[\/flash\]#si","[flash width=\\1 height=\\2 loop=false:$uid\]\\3[/flash:$uid]", $text); 
$text = preg_replace("#\[flash\](([a-z]+?)://([^, \n\r]+))\[\/flash\]#si","[flash:$uid\]\\1[/flash:$uid]", $text); 
	//End Flash Mod for 2.0.6

With:

Code: Select all

		//Begin Flash Mod for 2.0.6
	//[flash width= heigth= loop=] and[ /flash ]
$text = preg_replace("#\[flash width=([0-6]?[0-9]?[0-9]) height=([0-4]?[0-9]?[0-9]) bgcolor=(\#[0-9A-F]{6}|[a-z\-]+) loop=(true|false)\](([a-z]+?)://([^, \n\r]+))\[\/flash\]#si","[flash width=\\1 height=\\2 bgcolor=\\3 loop=\\4:$uid\]\\5[/flash:$uid]", $text); 
$text = preg_replace("#\[flash width=([0-6]?[0-9]?[0-9]) height=([0-4]?[0-9]?[0-9])\](([a-z]+?)://([^, \n\r]+))\[\/flash\]#si","[flash width=\\1 height=\\2 bgcolor=\\3 loop=false:$uid\]\\4[/flash:$uid]", $text); 
$text = preg_replace("#\[flash\](([a-z]+?)://([^, \n\r]+))\[\/flash\]#si","[flash:$uid\]\\1[/flash:$uid]", $text); 
	//End Flash Mod for 2.0.6

changes for templates/subSilver/bbcode.tpl

Code: Select all

<!-- BEGIN flash --><!-- URL's used in the movie--> 
<!-- text used in the movie--> 
<!-- --> 
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" 
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0" 
WIDTH={WIDTH} HEIGHT={HEIGHT}> 
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="{URL}"> <PARAM NAME=loop VALUE={LOOP}> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=scale VALUE=noborder> <PARAM NAME=wmode VALUE=transparent> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#000000> <EMBED src="{URL}" loop={LOOP} quality=high scale=noborder wmode=transparent bgcolor=#000000 WIDTH={WIDTH} HEIGHT={HEIGHT} TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></EMBED> 
</OBJECT><!-- END flash -->

Replace with (transparency is disabled too in the <object...> tag):

Code: Select all

<!-- BEGIN flash --><!-- URL's used in the movie--> 
<!-- text used in the movie--> 
<!-- --> 
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" 
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0" 
WIDTH={WIDTH} HEIGHT={HEIGHT}> 
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="{URL}"> <PARAM NAME=loop VALUE={LOOP}> <PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high> <PARAM NAME=scale VALUE=noborder> <PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE={BGCOLOR}> <EMBED src="{URL}" loop={LOOP} quality=high scale=noborder wmode=transparent bgcolor={BGCOLOR} WIDTH={WIDTH} HEIGHT={HEIGHT} TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></EMBED> 
</OBJECT><!-- END flash -->

Please tell your users in your help files that they will have to fill out ALL parameters with correct syntax. Example:

[flash width=80 height=80 bgcolor=#545454 loop=true]http://www.<URL of your>.swf[/flash]

Wrong would be bgcolor=545454 p.e. or width="150" or any missing parameter!

If you want to have other swf-in-html parameters (p.e. transparency...) to be defined as switchable tags
within the phpBB code it will be easy for you to implement it by watching and analyzing carefully the changes made above.

Those changes won't affect the "simple version":
[flash]http://www.<URL of your>.swf[/flash]
This will still work but it's unuseable in most of the cases because the flash movie will look distorted.
You can't save the background color within .swf files afaik. (But you could use a sprite as background.)

HTH
(Sorry for my bad english.)

default properties (sizes, colour etc...) are set in the html code in bbcode.tpl

Just an issue regarding the Language files. I believe the new 2.06 standards are that single quotes are used instead of double quotes? Is this correct? If so, should this mod be updated to have the single quotes?

For example:

Code: Select all

#-----[ OPEN ]---------------------------------
#
language/lang_english/lang_main.php


# 
#-----[ FIND ]---------------------------------
# 
#  NOTE: the full line to look for is:
#$lang['bbcode_f_help'] = "Font size: [size=x-small]small text[/size]";
#
$lang['bbcode_f_help']


# 
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]---------------------------------
# 

$lang['bbcode_m_help'] = "flash: [flash width= height= loop=]text[/flash] (alt+<hotkey>)";

Should be:

Code: Select all

#-----[ OPEN ]---------------------------------
#
language/lang_english/lang_main.php


# 
#-----[ FIND ]---------------------------------
# 
#  NOTE: the full line to look for is:
#$lang['bbcode_f_help'] = 'Font size: [size=x-small]small text[/size]';
#
$lang['bbcode_f_help']


# 
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]---------------------------------
# 

$lang['bbcode_m_help'] = 'flash: [flash width= height= loop=]text[/flash] (alt+<hotkey>)';

The same applies for the editing of lang_bbcode.php. I don't know the correct avenues regarding how to get this 'fixed' as such. I just thought I should let everyone know.

Thanks for the mod.

seems limits on flash files with this mod are

width=699
height=499

any larger either way and you get a display of the flash entry text, like the bbcode doesnt exist for that (it prints [flash width=700 height=500]url[/flash]

Fix:

Code: Select all

#-----[ OPEN ]--------------------------------- 
# 
includes/bbcode.php

# 
#-----[ FIND ]--------------------------------- 
# 
$patterns[] = "#\[flash width=([0-6]?[0-9]?[0-9]) height=([0-4]?[0-9]?[0-9]) loop=(true|false):$uid\](.*?)\[/flash:$uid\]#si";

#
#-----[ REPLACE WITH ]---------------------------------------------
#
$patterns[] = "#\[flash width=([0-8]?[0-9]?[0-9]) height=([0-6]?[0-9]?[0-9]) loop=(true|false):$uid\](.*?)\[/flash:$uid\]#si";

# 
#-----[ FIND ]--------------------------------- 
# 
$text = preg_replace("#\[flash width=([0-6]?[0-9]?[0-9]) height=([0-4]?[0-9]?[0-9]) loop=(true|false)\](([a-z]+?)://([^, \n\r]+))\[\/flash\]#si","[flash width=\\1 height=\\2 loop=\\3:$uid\]\\4[/flash:$uid]", $text); 
$text = preg_replace("#\[flash width=([0-6]?[0-9]?[0-9]) height=([0-4]?[0-9]?[0-9])\](([a-z]+?)://([^, \n\r]+))\[\/flash\]#si","[flash width=\\1 height=\\2 loop=false:$uid\]\\3[/flash:$uid]", $text);

#
#-----[ REPLACE WITH ]---------------------------------------------
# 
$text = preg_replace("#\[flash width=([0-8]?[0-9]?[0-9]) height=([0-6]?[0-9]?[0-9]) loop=(true|false)\](([a-z]+?)://([^, \n\r]+))\[\/flash\]#si","[flash width=\\1 height=\\2 loop=\\3:$uid\]\\4[/flash:$uid]", $text); 
$text = preg_replace("#\[flash width=([0-8]?[0-9]?[0-9]) height=([0-6]?[0-9]?[0-9])\](([a-z]+?)://([^, \n\r]+))\[\/flash\]#si","[flash width=\\1 height=\\2 loop=false:$uid\]\\3[/flash:$uid]", $text);

Now you can play Flash up to 899 * 699

you must use a valid uniform resource locator which points to a file with the .swf extension
