CMS Made Simple Forums

hello, is there someone who could help me to make my AVPlayer working in a page? I tried flvplayer module, play module and this one, I do not manage to put on them. My cmsms is 1.6.6 vers.
I tried to read a maximum of topic on this subject, I found one there: http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 87474  and made exactly as he says and... that doesn't works at all !
I should like to put flv showing some theater extracts and if I do not find fast how one make, soon I shall not have hair anymore on the head.lol
It seems so simple to use that I do not understand why sometime the player appears but does not read the flv and sometimes it's not there. Something is wrong and it could be restful and marvelous to know which one it is.
Looking for a magician, please.

If the player appears but does not play the flv then look at the final_template and compare the server path to the path on your particular setup. the template is written with the assumption your cms is installed in the root.
post a link to the page you are testing with...

  Dr CSS : Are you just trying to show a video on a page?...

Yes, i just want the visitors to be able to start a video on a page and see it. i should want too  the player to be on the page, not a title of the video with a clic on it to read

Sorry MW, if i remember, you are  the developper of this module. I read several topic in wich you explain some reason of problems. I applied what it was said there unsuccessfully .

this the code i have on my page :


player_flv_maxi.swfzigmundfollies








this code is generated, i presume by the module

could you explain to me the reason why i'm lost with your module?
Thanks a lot

well aside from the obvious sitename being wrong you do not appear to actually have a flv file as a parameter.
did you upload it? does the flv file exist on the server?
sometimes if the file is larger than the php file limit size it will not upload.
did you modify the final_details template?
is so post the template here so we can see it.

you should have something like:



*not*
<param name="FlashVars"
value="flv=http://www.my site.com/uploads/006-web.jpg

hang on a sec...are you saying you just want the video to play without displaying a list?
If that's the case then I suppose there is a language communication breakdown...
simply use:

{cms_module module="avplayer" alias="alias_of_item"}

it's in the help.
