Rev 4.0 Enterprise Splash Stack - xmlerr, can't find element

[Peter W A Wood]

I've just upgraded to Rev 4.0 Enterprise and get an XML error reported in the 
Splash Stack. The "Offers" tab is fine and downloads and shows its advert 
nicely. When I click on the Forums tab instead of a list of recent discussions, 
an "xmlerr, can't find element" message is displayed. Is it a bug or something 
that I need to setup?

I wanted a general way to do this, that did not rely on the page being
hosted by On-Rev, so I worked out how to do this using PHP as well as
On-Rev.

You can check out the On-Rev version at
.

I edited the html produced by the standalone builder and added this line:
pageLocation=""
This was inserted into the  tag, on the line just after the instanceID.

In the revlet, I used this script to read the parameter:
  put the revletParams of this stack into tParams
  put tParams["pageLocation"] into tPageLocation

Then I was able to format the string the way I wanted. It includes the
page name at this stage e.g. "www.troz.net/rev/revweb.irev"
so I set the itemDelimiter to slash, removed the last item, added the
"http://"; and then I was left with the containing folder.

For the PHP equivalent, you will need to change the file extension of
the html file to ".php" and instead of the irev line above, use this:
pageLocation=""

This gives exactly the same data in exactly the same format, so the
processing can be the same.

So now I have a way to include media in a revlet, using relative addressing :-)

Cheers,
Sarah

Works fine here (Rev 4, OS X 10.5.8 laptop) with the source field's opaque
disabled and borderWidth set to zero.

As an alternative, if you don't mind creating the text image on an unlocked
screen, you might try importing a snapshot of the field to the card.
Comment out the portions of the script that deal with the templateImage
(lines 15 - 21), and use this:

  import snapshot from rect (rect of fld 1) of fld 1
  set resizeQuality of last img to best
  set loc of last img to tLoc

Remember you also need to comment out the lock screen command at the
beginning of the script since import snapshot will fail if the screen is
locked.

Good luck.

Many thanks to all who replied. AlwaysBuffer false and actually putting the 
full URL now works from my server. I appreciate everone's quick help

That's how I do it. The videos are in the same folder with the revlet, 
then the script references them like this:

set the filename of player 1 to "http://www.domain.com/folder/movie.mov";

I don't use the "file://" syntax, because a revlet is like a local 
stack, and a fully qualified URL is fine as a reference. The "file://" 
designation is only for files you want to retrieve from the user's local 
hard drive, not for those on your server.

Unless it got fixed without my noticing, players in revlets only work 
reliably if the alway___

You can't physically rotate text, but you can create an image of  
text and
rotate that.  Here's one example of doing this.  Execute the  
following in

your Rev message box:
go url "http://www.tactilemedia.com/site_files/downloads/textspinner.rev 
"


If you want to print out the results, you could try creating your  
text at 4x
the final size and then scaling down the imported text image/s to  
25%.  Kind
of a pain to do but should give better print results.  You could do  
all the

manipulation in a hidden stack if necessary.

Hope this helps.

Scott,

Thanks. This is a great utility. All the bells an whistles.

I tried to add one more element: Disembodied text, i.e. a text field  
field with zero border width and opaque set to false.


Unfortunately it crashes RunRev 4.0, build 950 on my Mac running  
10.5.8  every time.


Any thoughts?
