a little help with aFlashPlugin, please
(I am most likely just not that good at following directions, so I
apologize up front if that is the case)
I would like to use aFlashPlugin to embed "Wink" tutorials in my wiki.
Base information:
JSPWiki ver 2.4.106
I have multiple wiki's setup (following general strategy of:
http://doc.jspwiki.org/2.4/wiki/InstallingJSPWikiStepByStep)
So, I have:
wiki_tec stored in /wikis/wiki_tec
wiki_IT stored in /wikis/wiki_IT
Property files:
/etc/wikis/wiki_tec.properties
/etc/wikis/wiki_IT.properties
I have separate tomcat webapps directories for wiki_tec, wiki_IT, etc.
and so on...
I have downloaded aFlashPlugin.zip to:
/opt/tomcat-5.5.25/webapps/wiki_tec
and unzipped, so that now I have files:
/opt/tomcat-5.5.25/webapps/wiki_tec/scripts/Flash.js
/opt/...../wiki_tec/WEB-INF/lib/aFlashPlugin.jar
Tomcat as been stopped and restarted.
When I embed the flash plugin tag in a wiki page, I get the message:
"Plugin insertion failed: Could not find plugin Flash"
I suspect the root cause has something to do with my multiple wiki
set-up not being 100% correct - although wiki's seem to run fine for
everything other than this plug-in (it is 1st plugin I have
attempted)
Any ideas / suggestions?
Thank you

No, no downside except having to type extra every time to use it!
It is strange that it's not working as expected... Did you put it in
all jspwiki.properties files? Are you sure there were no typos?

I do have / did have pluginPath = arnaud in the jspwiki.properties
file - but that wasn't working.
I'm not sure if just specifying long form arnaud.Flash is just bad
form or not, but right now as long as it works - is there a downside
to doing it that way?
Thanks

Hm... You should either add the package to the jspwiki.properties
file (to the pluginPath setting), or someone should create a
jspwiki_module.xml file which would allow the short name to be used
automatically.

Just [{Flash...}] per instructions @
http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/AFlashPlugin.
changing it to:
[{arnaud.Flash ....}] works! Woo-Hoo I'm in business!
Thanks for the pointer!

Are you using the fully qualified path of the plugin? e.g.
[{com.something.or.other.Flash}], or just [{Flash}]?
