Embedding applet in post
I want to embed an applet (e.g. a little game) in a post (build a collection
of posts with interesting applets found from while to while).
How to do this?
Uploading the applet-classes into mediafile-area does not work, because the
URL to the classes can not be used for "code" attribute like this:
<applet width="190" height="190"
code="http://xxx/roller/mediaresource/eced4813-5f8c-4185-a4c1-ad27bf785da6">
Your browser does not support Java applets.
</applet>
Any solution?

Hi Dave,
thank your for caring about my issues!
- Aliases would be a good thing, indeed.
- Yes, I want to be a committer to the themes/extra project, so it is
easier to update themes and upload new ones. Thank you!

Yes, this is a real limitation of the new "Media Files" implementation
which as designed for multi-media files, images, videos, etc. One goal
of the Media Files work was to allow a hierarchy of folders, but also
to allow you to move things about in those folders without breaking
links to images, videos, etc.
There is a way of aliasing files, but that is only available for "old"
files that were migrated from earlier versions of Roller. Perhaps the
best way to resolve this problem is to enable that aliasing for all
files, or at least add an configuration option to allow it. I created
an issue to track this:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ROL-1899
> By the way: how can I commit my "lightword" theme to rollerthemes.com?
rollerthemes.com was never part of the Apache Roller project and it no
longer exists now. The URL simply redirects to the old Roller project
at Java.net. We used that project to store Roller plugins and themes
that could not be part of Roller due to their license.
Moving forward, I think we should instead use Apache Extras for Roller
add-ons and themes. Here's our new space:
http://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/roller-extras/
I can add you as a committer there if you'd like, or add your theme
there myself.

Hi Dave,
the problem is: media files are only retrievable through an encrypted URL
like:
http://blog.datazuul.com/roller/mediaresource/eced4813-5f8c-4185-a4c1-ad27bf785da6
(I put AlexWarp.class and BillSmall.gif" into "mediafiles/applets")
but I need an URL like:
http://blog.datazuul.com/roller/mediaresource/applets/AlexWarp.class
so that I could embed the java class as an applet (sorry for the deprecated
"applet" tag, here is the new one):
also all file names visible in the media files browser are transformed to
lowercase... Bad idea for Java class names.
So two requirements:
- an alias input field for each media file (e.g. alias=
applets/AlexWarp.class (relative to absolute "mediaresource" URL)) that can
be used in absolute urls:
http://blog.datazuul.com/roller/mediaresource/applets/AlexWarp.class
- no lowercase transformation for file names (maybe this not necessary, when
alias works...)
By the way: how can I commit my "lightword" theme to rollerthemes.com?

What is the problem? Does the <applet> tag expect the code attribute
to end with ".jar" or ".class"?
If that is the case, then I'd like to fix this (somehow) before we release 5.0.
