Looking for help with custom interface

[vwtom]

I have an idea for a custom Deki-Wiki flash interface I would like to discuss with someone. It's a way to hopefully leverage the wiki for alternative uses.

Please let me know if anyone has a desire to work on something like this. I may be able to get some funding for this project.

Wow, that would be quite cool. Pretty everything you can do today via the UI is actually done via API calls. So, nothing prevents you from providing a complete flash-based interface to Deki Wiki.

by the way...
any ideas of embedding a flash movie inside the wiki ?

[SteveB]

You mean like a YouTube video? If so, you can do:

{{ media(uri) }}

Where 'uri' is the page/video uri you wish to embed. This works for a lot of different sources, like YouTube, uStream.tv, Viddler, Veoh, etc.

[Umair]

oh well yes we can embed that..
i was reffering to Custom made flash animated movies.

[SteveB]

Like the kind that ends in .swf?

[Umair]

Oh yes....exactly!

[SteveB]

'media' should support that as well. You should be able to attach it to a page and then use the link to it. It would look something like this:

{{ media('http://my-server/@api/deki/files/113/=anim.swf') }}

If that doesn't work, it's a bug. So let me know.

Simply Superb!!
