Multimedia: Copy SWF file into a non-protected directory
When using the multimedia CP to display a Flash swf file and using the “internal file” option (a swf file uploaded via the backend), the file doesn't display/load in the front end.
The reason for this behavior is the protection of the directory ”/filearchive/” by an htaccess file.
There are two solutions for this problem:
1st Disable the htaccess file (no good idea)
2nd Script: Copy the requested file into an unprotected directory and provide it from this place
I want to talk about the second method.
Description:
Script:
During the CP call the script determines the relevant file name from the HTML source code and looks for the existance of the requested file within the non-protected directory. If this file does not exist there, that file will be copied from ”/filearchive/” to ”/content/tmp/” and the HTML source code for the output will be generated.
<note> If the original file in ”/filearchive/” is deleted, the copy in ”/content/tmp/” will persist !!</note>
