How to upload and include flash content in pages?

[sarah_h]

Hi,

I've tried uploading a swf using the images manager but it won't work. How do you guy upload swf's and included them in your content using tinyMCE?

Thanks for your help/ideas.

Hi Sarah,

I have just spent the better part of my night sorting this out. Apparently TinyMCE and most other WYSIWYG editors in CMSMS website module downloads section do not support flash. FCKEditor does.

Go to My Preferences>User Preferences and choose FCKEditorX as the default editor. Go to the page where you want to insert flash. In th FCKEditor toolbar you will see an F in a circle (Flash Icon). Click on the area in the page where you want the flash file, then click the F. Upload the flash file in the dialog box that comes and then select the file.

You are done.

As pointed out in your other post on this issue, the TinyMCE Advanced mod includes the Flash button.

I have tried to locate TinyMCE advanced module but the CMSMS TinyMCE advanced project shows as invalid.

Yes, I see it has. Well, you can add the button this way:

1. Download the full version of TinyMCE 2.1.2 from SourceForge:

      http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=111430

2. Unzip the archive to your HD and browse to the plugins directory

3. Copy the Media directory to the plugins directory of your CMSMS TinyMCE module

4. Edit tinyconfig.php, change line 83 from:

Code: Select all

 $plugins="cmsmslink,fullscreen,advimage,simplebrowser,paste,advlink";

to:

Code: Select all

 $plugins="cmsmslink,fullscreen,advimage,simplebrowser,paste,advlink,media";

5. Open TinyMCE in Admin and click on the Toolbars tab. Change Toolbar 2 from:

Code: Select all

bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,separator,bullist,numlist,separator,outdent,indent,separator,undo,redo,separator,cmsmslink,link,unlink,anchor,image,media,charmap,cleanup,separator,forecolor,backcolor,separator,code,fullscreen,help

to:

Code: Select all

bold,italic,underline,strikethrough,separator,bullist,numlist,separator,outdent,indent,separator,undo,redo,separator,cmsmslink,link,unlink,anchor,image,charmap,cleanup,separator,forecolor,backcolor,separator,code,fullscreen,help

That will add the button for you.
