Weird crap with media-box mod.

I installed it on another forum and got screwed up URLs (making it not function). It always comes out like this, regardless of the content in the post:

(forumURL)/rel=%22lightbox%5B480

So, I put the media-box mod on a brand-new forum (no other mods) and I get exactly the same URL displayed. Has something stopped working in a remote .js file?

Example can be seen here: http://verybusyserver.com/testsite/

Use login "Tester" and pw: "tester"

I added a link to a source file viewer in the heading.

I've not done anything with this mod for a while. I checked on my test page and everything is still working: http://www.mangionemagic.com/testforum2/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2

Are you sure you installed it correctly? I'll take a look and see why that is happening to you.

I noticed in inc_func_common.asp you changed this:

CodeTags(1,1,2) = "<div><script language=""javascript"">EmbedMedia("""
CodeTags(1,2,2) = """,290,300,false)</script></div><div></div>"

To this:

CodeTags(1,1,2) = "<script language=""javascript"">EmbedMedia("""
CodeTags(1,2,2) = """,290,300,false)</script>"

I'm not sure if that is the problem as all you did was remove the div tags but what happens if you change it back to the original?

Also, did you make any changes to the media.js file?

The div tags in "inc_func_common.asp" do not affect results. No changes made to "media.js", it reads as follows:


function EmbedMedia(URL){
   if(URL == null || URL == "illegal"){
      //Nope, we can't.
      document.writeln(" error: illegal use of Media tag! ");
   }else{
      //Add the code to the document.
      document.writeln('<a href=' + URL + ' rel="lightbox[480 380]">Play Media</a>');
   }
}

In inc_func_common.asp you've made other changes to the code such as:

ReplaceMediaTags = strTempString
	strRMT=strTempString

What happens if you remove all of your changes?

I had tested the URL variable (which apparently is using the value of strForumURL) with that line. Removing it does nothing - it's gone now, issue persists.

Did you add your URL to the two spots in the mediaboxAdv-1.1.6.js file?

Yes, tested with/without using the strForumURL variable. No change either way.

It has something to do with how it is reading the URL. When you hover over the Play Media link you should see the original URL of the file to be played in the browsers status bar, i.e. www.youtube.... On your site, the links are showing to be from your site with a broken rel= added to it.

In your mediaboxAdv-1.1.6.js file try adding the forward slash in both URL's:

<% =strForumURL %>/media/player.swf

and

<% =strForumURL %>/media/NonverBlaster.swf

No change. It doesn't keep the URL variable at all. Javascript seem to treat it as a restricted variable - it's a different color than the rest when viewed in UltraEdit.

I looked a little closer at your media function in your inc_func_common.asp file and I think I found the problem. You are missing the line in red:

strArray2 = split(strArray(counter2), cTag, -1)
strCodeText = trim(strArray2(0))

Also, in the mediaboxAdv-1.1.6.js file, the two places where you enter your URL, I would recommend not using the <% =strForumURL %>. Instead put in the address manually. For some reason the <% =strForumURL %> doesn't always work when it looks for the swf files.

That was it - don't know how I lost that line, thanks.

Well they found another bug in it. If a URL has a space (whether depicted as a space or as %20), the character is double-encoded and results as %2520. I cannot find where it's happening.

I'm not sure what's happening but when a vid is playing in the box the page number disappears and a large brown section appears below the forum footer. Also I notice it will play an .mp4 that is hosted elsewhere but doesnt play the same vid from a folder on site.
