I agree - the preview links won't work on iPad whereas the play links will.

I also think that even when auto detection is in place people will also want
a way of deciding which version to share so I think ideally we need manual
links as well as auto detect links.

Finally this is only available via svn until a new zip is made so I'm not
sure too many people will be using the links at the moment apart from us
testing etc. In any case this is just repeating what we previously had to do
manually by changing the url.

 

The htaccess.conf will need updating too to accommodate links like
play_html5_id

Hmm, yes.  I'm not sure just preview is a good idea though, if people want
to share them they should be able to.  Won't it just be annoying to be able
to preview the html version but not be able to use it properly if your
project is working ok in it?

am just worried people will deploy with HTML5 links and then they remain in
the system?

You could make a HTML5 preview option only?

In the long run yes, but at the moment with the first release there are
going to be quite a lot of page types missing so if we just do a detection
on what the browser supports then there's a good chance most things will use
the html version but not all pages will work.

<thoughts>
I don't think this is a good idea, it makes more sense to have a play.php
which negotiates with the device to see what can be displayed?

Yes, commit it please. That's on my to do list so if you've already done it
that's great.

 

Thanks

Hi Fay/all

I noticed that Julian had committed an update to allow Ctrl  + Click html5
preview from the editor and also I know part of the 1.9 plans is to enable
either the play_html5 link or auto detection or both but as a temporary
measure for testing xenith development etc I had already been testing
enabling a second play link in the properties window and I've uploaded this
to the Techdis install for now but could commit the code if you want?

 

This involved a small addition to url_library.php and properties_library.php
and well as properties_library.inc for the language string.

 

Have a look at the Techdis install and let me know if you want me to commit
these additions?

 

For the moment I haven't duplicated the embed code box for the html5
version.

 

HTH

Ron
