I think this is the same as bug #777034 - htmlpurifier is rewriting the <object> code to disable networking and/or script access and blocking it from running.

Did you have the Scorch player web browser plugin installed on your machine?
It's working fine in Firefox 3.6 on Windows Xp.

You can get the plugin from: http://www.sibelius.com/products/scorch/index.html
It also only runs on Mac and Windows. It looks like they have no plans to add support for Linux

Hi Chris,
Yes I do have the Scorch player installed.

Cheers,

Nathan.

There is a patch here: https://reviews.mahara.org/#change,459

but it won't be merged into core Mahara for now.

[Nathan-friend (nathan-friend)]

Thank you so much for creating this patch. I have applied it to our Mahara installation. Simple question, how do I reference the sib file in the embed HTML? I've uploaded the sib to myfiles and then used <param name="src" value="Minor_Swing.sib"> as in the code above but this doesn't apear to work. The plugin now loads OK, but it can't find the sib.

[Christopher Tombleson (christopher-k)]

You will need the full url to the file.
Did you upload the file to mahara?

[Nathan-friend (nathan-friend)]

Yes I've uploaded the file to Mahara http://vle.cant-col.ac.uk/mahara/artefact/file/download.php?file=925&view=1740

I've tried using this url as the "src" atribute here http://vle.cant-col.ac.uk/mahara/view/view.php?id=1740 but it doesn't work.

Do you know how I can find the full path to the artefact?

[Christopher Tombleson (christopher-k)]

Try using this in the src link: http://vle.cant-col.ac.uk/mahara/artefact/file/download.php?file=925

[Nathan-friend (nathan-friend)]

Hi Christopher,
Unfortunately that didn't work. Thank you for your suggestions. It looks like getting Mahara to display SCORCH files is rather tricky!

Cheers,

Nathan.
