[opencms-dev] preview problem

[Martin Leja]

hi alexander,

after publishing the SWF i can preview it in the online version yes.
the same applies to ZIP files in the download dir, preview with IE does not
work.

As i said before previewing SWFs or ZIP files with the current version of
mozilla is no problem at all. I came to believe its a problem between tomcat
or opencms and IE.

Working with mozilla is no real alternative because the WYSIWYG editor only
works in IE, and switching between the two neither.

Last night i spent some hours analysing the communication between tomcat and
the two browsers.
I have no clue why GETting something in an offline project like:
GET
http://localhost:8080/opencms/opencms/system/workplace/action/explorerShowRe
source.html?url=/opencms/opencms/pics/Fanm.swf HTTP/1.1
[...]
which is mapped to
GET http://localhost:8080/opencms/opencms/pics/Fanm.swf HTTP/1.1
[...]

only works with mozzilla but not with IE.
on the other hand GETting the same file in the online project, which is
mapped to:
GET http://localhost:8080/opencms/export/pics/Fanm.swf HTTP/1.1
[...]

works with both browsers. Could not try it with opera because this browser
don't even displays the workplace correctly.

Up to now i have no satisfying solution in porting a small site which
includes some flash files to opencms because of the flash preview problems
which result in a problem previewing html files containing the flash files.
Can we somehow isolate the problem to be finally be able to fix it?

Martin,

did you try to publish this SWF and try preview it in the "Online"
version. I recently discovered a bug in the cache settings that
prevented displaying PDFs in the Offline version (and fixed it) but this
might apply to SWFs as well. Please try publishing the SWF and preview
in the "Online" project. Mail me again of this worked.


Best Regards,
Alex.
