Jumi - When in a Category Flash Stops working?

[headghogg]

Hi

I have added a flash image to my site to display a telephone number in the header using Jumi (this is also the same if its added directly to the HTML in the template)

The flash works in all parts of the site except when you enter a category to view the thumbs. Then the flash just doesnt work?

Any ideas why and how this can be fixed?

Hi, no idea as I don't know Jumi. The problem can be in some conflict of javascript libraries. Depend on which javascript library you are using with Phoca Gallery.

Let's say (I don't really know, it is only hypothese). You are using Phoca Gallery with standard modal box (modal box is a part of Joomla! framework and is loaded e.g. in category view) and the flash uses some other javascript library (maybe mootools too) which can be in conflict with modal box loaded from Joomla! framework.

So try to check the libraries

Hi

Jumi (I think) only places "content" (java scripts etc) into a position within the site making it easy to introduce flash etc where you want.

I am using Jak Lightbox

The Jumi module is placing the following

<div style="position: absolute; z-index: 99; left: 775px; top: -50px" id="layer1">

<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
CODEBASE="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shoc ... n=6,0,40,0"
WIDTH="225" HEIGHT="300" >
<PARAM NAME="MOVIE" VALUE="CallUs.swf">
<PARAM NAME="PLAY" VALUE="true">
<PARAM NAME="LOOP" VALUE="true"><PARAM NAME="WMODE" VALUE="transparent">

<PARAM NAME="QUALITY" VALUE="high">
<EMBED SRC="CallUs.swf" WIDTH="225" HEIGHT="300" PLAY="true" LOOP="true" WMODE="transparent" QUALITY="high"
TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>

</div>

Any ideas

[Jan]

did you get any problem with some other methods like modal box, etc?

Hi

I have tried the detail view as:

Standard Popup
Modal popup
Modal Popup Image only
Shadowbox
Highslide js
No Popup


all the same

Then there must be some other problem, try to disable enable different javascripts on your site (with help of firebug or webdevelopment, etc.)

Hi Jan

I cant believe it!!

The movie wasnt loading! This is normally because the swf file is missing or the link is not correct...

I dont use the full url to the swf file so it seems that when you view the thumbs in a given category the base url changes from the root directory and thus does not find the file.

A simple addition of the full url into the script and all works

Thanks for the hint about firebug. I actually use Chrome which has its own version and without your help i would never had looked and guessed.

Thanks again!!!

Tell me how much is considered a donation. I will be selling this site to a friend, i dont charge a lot so theres not much money but he will want to remove the Phoca logo...and I would like to donate anyway

Also if you ever want hosting let me know i'll do it for free!

Hi, great to hear it.
