 Description  « Hide
1. Login to Coursework as an Instructor.
2. After login, click on the F07-2_GROUP-300-01 tab.
3. In the menu on the left, click on Syllabus.
4. When the Syllabus page opens, at the top left corner, click on the
Create/Edit link. When the next page opens and if there are existing Syllabus
created, at the top left corner, click on the Add button. When the next page
opens, notice there is a FCKeditor window with rows of buttons at the top. In
the second row, notice the Insert/Edit Flash buttons.
5. Click on the Flash button to invoke the Flash Properties popup window.
6. At the URL link enter a link for a flash file OR click on the Browse
Server to select a flash file, then click on the OK button.
7. A FLASH icon/placeholder is now displayed in the FCKeditor window.
8. In the buttons at the bottom, click on the Post button to Post the
Syllabus or click on the Save Draft button to Save the Syllabus but invoke
error message "Error: The HTML attribute pattern '
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" play="true"
loop="true" menu="true"' is not allowed".
9. Please note that the Post or Save Draft problem occurred in Firefox browser only. In IE browser, a flash .swf file cannot be uploaded and will display Error number: 203, therefore, it cannot arrive to the point of Post or Save. It is probably due to lack of flash player in the IE browser. If this is the case, the Flash button should be disabled in the IE browser.

This issue was verified on qa3-us and also on our local instance at Stanford, so this issues occurred in both 2.4 and 2.5.

we have experienced this with MSIE using sakai 2.5.3 when the user was trying to uplaod a JPEG (not a flash move) within FCKEdit. I'll post more details when we get them from the user.

There is a workaround. In the FCKeditor, go into source mode and delete the offending attributes (pluginspage, play, loop, and true). You should then be able to save and play the video. Similarly, if you try to embed a Flash video by going into source and pasting the <object> in directly, you will need to delete any <param>s and the <embed> attributes allowscriptaccess and allowfullscreen. Is this a case of Sakai trying too hard to protect us?

This fix depends on KNL-341, which moves the good/bad html tags & attributes into a properties file. If institutils would prefer not allowing flash, they can remove 'pluginspage,play,loop,menu' from the list of goodAttributes. Otherwise, this fix will allow flash video to be included in html files.
