looking for assistance

has anyone taken under the task of converting the porn star temolate to yab2.1?

http://www.boardmod.org/templates/templatevault.php?action=describe&id=170

also, i am attempting to add a flash movie into the title bar.  i have changed the default tag in the default.html file from:

<td width="500">
<a href="http://www.yabbforum.com"><img src="<yabb images>/yabblogo.png" alt="YaBB - Yet another Bulletin Board" border="0" /></a>
</td>


to:


<td valign="middle" align="center" width="768">
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,..."
WIDTH=750 HEIGHT=100>
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="index.swf">
<PARAM NAME=menu VALUE=false>
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=best>
<PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#000000>
<EMBED src="index.swf" menu=false quality=best bgcolor=#000000  WIDTH=750 HEIGHT=100 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=Shockwave...">
</EMBED></OBJECT>
</td>


and also copied my *.swf file into the directory as well.

the problem is it will not load the flash movie.  is there anouther file i need to make adjustments in as well, or is this just something that cann't be done?

The problem is that a flash file will not be served from within the cgi-bin space.
The solution is simple.
Put the swf file somewhere in your www space and change:

Code
Select All
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="index.swf">


to

Code
Select All
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="/<...>index.swf">

Where the <..> is the relative path to the file seen from the cgi-bin dir so if it is one level down it should be:
Code
Select All
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="../index.swf">

yeah, i tried that also.  its not working either.  i think i may have it troubleshot down to the server permisions on the cgi-bin blocking the script form being run in the html file.  Is ther an easy way to set up the board to run the template html file form a different location?  cause if i move it out of the cgi-bin/templates folder to a different location, the flash loads and runs fine.

permissions should not be a problem.
Perhaps not use a relative path like ../../../ but the absolute url to the swf.
Presuming you upload your swf file in the root of your html space instead of ../index.swf try http://yourdomain.com/index.swf as parameter.

As this is a html call made from the browser end it should work that way.

yeah, i actually figured it out.  of coarse it was something stupid. sorry to bother ya'll about it.  i was forgetting to set the param value to the correct path.


anyway, so has anyone attempted to convert the porn star or grey black red templates or something similar in looks to YaBB2?
