[dokuwiki] Re: Default behavior for flash files

Hi Christopher!

Perhaps I was unclear in my former post.
The problem is not so much displaying the flash files, thats taken care of (albeit somewhat limited) by whatever by whatever plug-in the user has installed, and provided .swf is allowed as upload and set in mime.conf.
Provided a flash browser plug-in is installed and the above is set then the regular image syntax works fine.
I have looked at the suggested flash player plug-in but it doesn't do what I'm after as it still takes size statements.
I'm looking for a way to control the way Dokuwiki sizes the .swf and how they can be made to fill all available frame. 

See this example page: http://php.twofourfour.org/dokuwiki/flash

Hi,
You're at the mercy of the browser. Standard DW provides no assistance to the browser in displaying .swf files. Quite possibly some browsers will not do anything.
There are some plugins that can generate proper code for the display of flash objects. You'll find them at http://wiki.splitbrain.org/?do=search&id=flash+plugin. The video plugin should do the trick. I can't speak for the others as I haven't used them. 

Cheers,

Chris

Hi.

When using the image syntax to display a flash file like so:
{{system:d2.1_platform_profile.swf|}}
Without using any parameters the SWF will, unlike an image file, default to a standard size. 
Where is this value set?
To extend this further; Id like the SWF to default to filling the available space in the template unless size parameters are given. 
How could I achieve this?
I'm guessing I'd have to hack the source (parser?) or write a plug-in (learning php -> noob). Any tips and hints would be much appreciated :)
