Re: RFC: Remove .swf support from the image panel

‘don’t even know that I could upload Flash files in the Images tab…
It was probably useful ten or fifteen years ago… l:D
Kick it if you want.

Re: RFC: Remove .swf support from the image panel

I’m going to bump/reopen this, with a reworded proposal. Deprecate or remove the ability to upload SWF files on the Images panel on the grounds of:

• SWF files aren’t images.
• Textpattern image tag doesn’t apply to SWF files (see this for info)
• SWF files can be uploaded and managed on the Files panel.

The only safety proviso I can think of is to not clobber existing SWF files from folks that already have them stored/managed.

Re: RFC: Remove .swf support from the image panel

Deprecation might be simpler for now, given I don’t know how to stop support for those that haven’t got any SWF, but retain support for those that already do! If such users exist.

Can we straw poll on G+ too? I mean, if nobody says yay then we can drop it now wholesale, right?

<txp:images category="bannerh" limit="4" sort="rand()">
  <div>
    <txp:variable name="extention" value='<txp:image_info type="ext"/>'/>
    <txp:if_variable name="extention" value=".swf">
         <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/images/<txp:image_info type="id"/>.swf" width="<txp:image_info type="w"/>" height="<txp:image_info type="h"/>" style="height:<txp:image_info type="h"/>px">
                <param name="movie" value="/images/<txp:image_info type="id"/>.swf"/>
                <param name="wmode" value="transparent"/>
           </object>
     <txp:else />
            <txp:variable name="lienimg" value='<txp:image_info type="caption"/>' />
            <txp:if_variable name="lienimg" value="">
                   <img data-lazy=<txp:image_url/> />
