|203.131.155.xxx |2007-06-22 06:29:53

ive followed ur instruction on how to use your Joomla Random Flash Module but it
its not working. can u send me the whole step by step process on how to do
it.

thanks.

DART Creations - Instructions

|217.145.5.xxx |2007-06-22 07:41:17

Leo:

Step 1. Rename your flash files to 1.swf, 2.swf, 3.swf etc. It is very
important to rename them to just a number.swf and order is after each other i.e.
1,2,3,4

Step 2. Upload your flash files to images/stories or any other path
that you choose. You can do this using Joomla Media Manager or using FTP or
anything else. Take note of the path example images/stories

Step 3. In the
module parameters enter the following options:

Number of files - this is the
number of flash files you have uploaded e.g. 4
Flash Base - the path where you
have put the files (e.g. images/stories)

Width / Height - define the width
and height of the files. The original files should be the same size, so that you
don't have problems when displaying the module.

Choose to publish the module
and save.

I have received a number of emails regarding people who have used
it successfully. Usually any problem that might happen is with the path...

to know is how to put an alternative image (.jpg) so people with no flash
plug-in in their computer won't see blank space? also can you add a script to
detect flash plug-in?

i'm a newbie and don't know much about programming.

Mark Fenley - Can't get it to work in the h

|76.97.68.xxx |2007-09-27 21:02:03

It works when I select other module positions (Banner, Newsflash) but when
header is selected, nothing. Is there something special I need to do to get it
to work in the header position? I am using joomla version 1.0.12. Thanks in
advanced..

DART Creations - Header

|85.232.195.xxx |2007-09-28 04:52:38

Mark, this is not a problem with the module, but a problem with the template.
Your template probably does not have the header position defined, and thus the
module won't display there. Please read the following article to understand what
I am saying:

ials/understanding-joomla-template-positions.html

Koos - link in the same window

|85.145.200.xxx |2007-10-23 16:56:19

Hi ,

How can I make the link open in the same window? Now the link opens in a
new window. I have found 2 files:

1) mod_randomflash.php
2)
mod_randomflash.xml

Where exactly do I adjust the target?
Please, see our
flashbanner on www.baj.nu

Thanks,
Koos (Holland).

DART Creations - Link in new window

|85.232.194.xxx |2007-10-23 17:50:23

Koos, please note that the module DOES NOT support linking, therefore your link
is not coming from our component but from the flash banner that you have. Please
get in touch with the person who has created the flash banner for you and
instruct them that you do not want the link to open in a new window.

Hope this
helps, if not please send us an email using the Contact Us page.

librarc - great script

|190.58.41.xxx |2007-10-27 13:03:10

Excellent script! Question though, my flash is positinoned to the right of a
menu that has sub category menus. The problem is when the flash is shown, the
sub cat menus show behind the flash as seen here:
http://208.109.191.81//index.php

this may not have anything to do with you per
say but I was wondering if you know a solution for this??

kcnon - more than one?

|125.24.180.xxx |2007-11-09 01:55:41

It's a nice job.But,could you make it show more than one swf-files at a
time?
This should be very great.
Thanks

DART Creations - More than one

|85.232.198.xxx |2007-11-21 21:18:45

Why don't your create a new template position where you require the second
flash, and then use a second copy of the module to display additional flash
files where you require.

|217.145.5.xxx |2008-04-09 06:00:29

The module has still not been converted to 1.5, however if you could get in
touch via the Contact form, i would take a look and see what might be happening.

lowjoy - not displaying

|Registered |2008-04-11 21:12:19

I installed it and it ran great with a 468x60. decided I needed a rectangle so
I changed it to 300x250, made 2 300x250 swf's 11.swf and 12.swf, created a new
folder: images/stories/flash,uploaded the files, put this path in the module,

set # to 2, set mod name to show. I see the shape of the module has changed,
the name but no images. I checked the path and the images show up. My site is
http://localroost.com.
WHAT AM I MISSING?

DART Creations - not displaying

|85.232.196.xxx |2008-04-12 06:46:16

lowjoy, you just need to rename the swf to 1.swf and 2.swf, rather than 11.swf
and 12.swf, because the module is look for 1.swf and 2.swf.

stasss - works in firefox but no in EXP

Hey, the modul works great in firefox, it shows on all pages with no
problem,
BUT if i use INTERNET EXPLORER it works on the main page, but it doesn`
work on any other page, the moive doesn`t load.
I?m using only 1 file -

stass,

I've takea look but can't figure out what's wrong. Everything seems
ok.

Can you try creating another flash file and see if it works with more
than 1 file?

stasss - IE problem

|Registered |2008-05-13 10:16:49

i have tried with two files..that are unique...1.swf and 2.swf and i have set
the module to 2 files...it`s still the same...

have tried Opera also...it
works perfect..the only problem is IE!

Could it be the swf file Itself the
problem?

DART Creations - IE Problem

|217.145.5.xxx |2008-05-13 10:59:08

I would think that if the problem was the file, it wouldn't work on the
frontpage either though.

Are there any modules / components which are
different on the frontpage than the pages where the banner is not displayed.
They may be interfering ...

stasss - IE problem

|Registered |2008-05-13 11:24:35

no... all modules and components are on all pages turned on except on NAŠE
ZNAMKE, but there is no module anyway...

but i noticed something now.. i have
sublevel items on NAVODILA and on PONUDBA but not on POGOJI POSLOVANJA, and
there the flash modul works in IE!

so what do sublevel menu items have to do
with this?

or is it the JOOMSEF? i had to turn off all Itemid setting for
sublevel menu to work, but IE had problems even before that...

any idea?
thanks

DART Creations - IE Problem

|217.145.5.xxx |2008-05-13 12:48:20

Well, then there must be something in the other (non sub level pages) which is
different. Best is to compare the pages (HTML generated), between the areas
where it works, and the areas where it doesn't.

Switching off JoomSEF
temporarily might also help you to determine whether it is the one causing the
problem.

stasss - IE problem

|Registered |2008-05-13 15:11:29

I have turned off JoomSEF and ther is no change,
i have looked at the html code
from the page that works and the one that doesn`t but the part where the flash
is generated is the same...

stasss - no help?

troniksoft - Very nice module

|81.80.75.xxx |2008-06-25 12:56:19

Very nice module but just one thing : just a problem with menus in CSS wich
appears behind flash animations.
I try to modify module by adding a ""
but it doesn't (I think I would have to add a "position:absolute" in css
file but it will looks bad with my template...)
Is there any solution for that ?

troniksoft - I have the solution

|81.80.75.xxx |2008-06-25 13:04:09

To resolve probelm with flash and menu css, you just have to add :
-
- in
"object", wmode="transparent"
- in "embed",
wmode="transparent"

I was thinking of developing a number of the modules as plugins too to
enable what you have in mind. In the meantime you can use the following article

You shouldn't need anything fancy! Using the normal Joomla installer Extensions

something wrong with your Joomla installation.

Hi There!, Thanks for your previous answer... now I have another one.

content is not loading on other pages than the front page when SEO friendly Urls
is activated but it shows ok everywhere when it's not activated, I guess the
problem is with the paths to the altered (seo friendly) page names but I'm just

DART - Not showing

|SAdministrator |2008-09-16 04:44:02

David,

since the module does not modify / generate any links whatsoever, the
problem you are having probably stems from something else. Are you using
sh404SEF? If you aren't I suggest you use that one.

you'll just need to add wmode="transparent" to both the object and

This should sort your problem!

Great module. Easy to setup and use.

Would like to know if there is a way to

Thx

DART - Flash play just once

|Administrator |2009-01-19 12:15:30

Hi gspeyrer,

typically this is something which is controlled when you are
developing your flash file. However, you can try adding the loop=false parameter
in the embed code as per the following
instructions.

http://forums.techguy.org/web-des
ign-development/480452-flash-loop-play-once-only.h tml

You'd need to edit the
php of the module to do this.
