Install badge on Joomla site

I've used the "Badger" tool to create a lovely seamless install badge that works on a regular HTML page. However, when I try to embed the code into a module to site on the Home page of my Joomla site then it displays the error message about upgrading the Flash version, even though I know that's not needed.
There's a line that has to be embedded in the <head> section of the page -
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
and I've included that in the index.php that's in the root of the JA_Purity template folder (with the src parameter above fully qualified to the location of the swfobject.js file) but can only assume that it is in the wrong place because I still don't get the results I want.
I'm a total novice to Joomla: please can someone hand-hold me through getting this fixed?!

Bregent;
Thank You for Your reply.  Both You and SnakeEyez have been very helpful.
The code at http://www.useragentstring.com/ will do the job of determining the windows version.
Have learned from Access Forums that "Late Binding" will do the job of determing if the User has MSWord installed AND which version., (2003, XP, 2007, 2010) and that the Package & Deploy feature in Access will register a DLL & OCX Service.
What I haven't learned yet; nor have been able to find is:
How to place a "Command Button" on the web-site that will start the entire process.
Know how to place a "Submit" button for an on-line form and know that the script for "Submit" can be changed, BUT a "Submit" button is very limited.
So the only question remaining is:
How do You place a "Command Button" on a web-site that will start the entire process?
IE: Determine the version of Windows then start the download of the "Package & Deploy" application.
Give You an example.  When You find the driver at HP.Com there is a "Download" button that when clicked starts the download.
That's what we need...
a "Download" button.
Where is the option to "Insert" a Command Button in Dreamweaver?  Is there one?  If not where do I start my search for an item that will accomplish the same thing?
Thank You for taking the time to read this post.

  • AIR Install Badge

    I have an AIR install badge on my site, how can I have it install my application from InMarket?
    Thanks,
    Sean

    No, there is no localized version of the badge. I don't
    believe there are plans to localize it, since it is just a sample.
    However, since it's a sample and source is included, it can be
    localized.
    The AIR installation experience will be localized into
    additional languages, including French, in an upcoming release.

  • Firefox 3.6.12 does not load nay images from Joomla sites 1.5.21 and above. Works on Safari but Not Firefox. This happened after the firefox upgrade. All Joomla 1.5.20 and below work ok. why is this happening?

    I have been developing Joomla sites for more than 4 years now and generally all the Joomla sites work well in Firefox. In this case, however, ever since Joomla upgraded to 1.5.21 and above, all Joomla sites on this level are having problems with Firefox 3.6.12 loading images.
    We have tested a number of Joomla template manufactures and all the results are the same.
    This problem is with the macbook pro only thus far. All the other apple products, like the towers, etc. are fine.
    Not sure why this is happening. Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
    Thanks,
    Leland

    Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
    BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
    Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

  • Adobe AIR Seamless Install Badge PROBLEM

    Hello,
    my air badge installation stop working few days back (do not know exactly how many).
    Has anybody else this issue here?
    Any advice probably.
    Thanks

    Hi Chris,
    Thanks for the Reply.
    After quite a bit more testing and some digging around under the hood, I've solved the problem. Below is what I found out, hopefully this will help others out with the same problem:
    When downloading Air and the Air app in one go using the install badge, trying to open an SQL connection was throwing errors on most machines (it was not limited to Macs alone). If i down loaded Air separately, then installed the app with install badge (with air already  installed) it worked on some machines.
    The error was caused by trying to create the database file at the wrong in the file system:
    // Causes Errors some machines.
    var dbFile:File =File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath (databaseName);
    // Works fine.
    var dbFile:File =File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath (databaseName);
    I'm not sure why the different installation process showed up the errors on some machines and not others, but it's fixed now.
    Hope this helps.

  • After installing 2014.3 my site had multiple issues with Google Chrome

    After installing 2014.3 my site had multiple issues with Google Chrome. After I rebuilt the home page in 2014.3 the site is still not well. With the old software the site worked well with all the browsers and loaded incredibly. Despite Adobe's claim of a faster load with the new software it is much slower and in Chrome at times it won't load up at all.
    The home page had two "Video-Animation light box galleries" by Visual pictures company. One had 12 videos, the other 3 videos. All the videos were streamed from Vimeo. There was also an Edge Animate animation in the middle of the page imported as a .oam file. the rest of the page was nothing special except using some web fonts. Again, these elements worked together well before the update.
    After the update everything loads slower in all browsers and in Chrome all types of weirdness happened. Videos would play randomly, all of the audio from all the videos played as the site loaded. Videos would play in the wrong place. Instead of my animation playing a video from the galleries played in it's place instead.
    I rebuilt most of the home page using a new video gallery and that helped some what but when I placed the animation.oam file in the page had new issues. To survive, I've taken the Animation out which helped but the functionality is still far from being acceptable. My boss is un my backside, other work is not getting done the stress level is through the roof because I was the one who encouraged using all these new Adobe tools (which I'm paying for personally). Now you broke it with a new update. This is not the first time I've been caught out with problems with updates. I couldn't use SpeedGrade for months following an update. ADOBE MUST VET THEIR       

    Sorry,
    It was slated to go to the Creative Cloud - Muse area. How it got to Photoshop is beyond me.

  • Install badge fails with '@' or '.' in appinstallarg

    I'm trying to run the AIR install badge with my application and I would like to pass down an varible (in my case, an email address) to be read when the app is first run.  However, whenever I have the '@' or the '.' character as part of the appinstallarg parameter, the badge fails to even start downloading the file.  If I change the appinstallarg to be a single word (like 'blah') it works fine.  It's also fine if I put spaces in the argument, just not certain other characters.
    I have also tried url encoding the argument (using %40 for '@' and %2E for '.') but it hasn't helped.
    I'm considering just transcoding the bad characters into various numbers of spaces or something, but it would be nice if there were a way around this.

    Regarding the newer badge install:
    I'm having a few issues where it's not seeing my application
    already installed (AIR app with Flex).
    The application is definitely installed but it keeps opening
    the .AIR file and asking to open/save.
    Does the AIR app have to be signed properly (i.e. a real
    certificate, paid for) to be able to fully work with the badge
    installer?
    I have set everything correctly in Flex
    (allowBrowserInvocation: set to true)
    and in the HTML I've set it to correctly based on what is in
    my Flex file (appid, appversion, name, etc)
    I've set airversion to "1.0".... what is 1.0.M6 ? (is this
    Beta 3?)
    I haven't set "pubid" to anything, just left as ""... would
    this affect the way the badge works?
    Could I request an update to the badge system... as it's
    doing a lot of checking for Beta3.
    It would be much better and cleaner if it just looked for the
    current AIR version and then if it was not present installed it.

  • How do you get rid of a greyed out 'installed' badge in apple updates?

    How do you get rid of a greyed out 'installed' badge in apple updates? I have one that never wants to disappear despite having the most recent version of the software ( its evernote in case that helps). That is really the only app that doesn't want to disappear after installation. Any thoughts or ideas out there in the world wide web?

  • Resolved: The Install Badge requires a mouse event (?)

    Edit:
    I came across this page which specifies that the restriction of installing only within the context of user event handler is by design. Nuts.
    ===
    Hi,
    I've recently tweaked our application's install badge thru the fla provided with the sdk. All works well but apparently, calling the function installApplication from the loaded air.swf has no effect if the caller is not in the context of a mouse event handler. A Flash mouse event handler, that is, since calling from a js mouse event handler has no effect.
    Without this restriction, it would be easy to use air.swf as an installation engine, keeping all the UI in html and allocating to flash only a display area suitable for notifications such as 'installing AIR'. This would greatly facilitate the development of installation pages, no longer restricted by the properties exposed by the badge swf.
    Looking forward to a reply from the powers that be,
    David

    I'm trying to draw that way too but I'm not able to find the solution, i've searched long way from all docs and tutorials but it's not easy for a beginner. And the Apple's gesture drawing tutorial was "replaced" by a GL ES sample wich do not match my needing.
    I just want to draw a line following the touch using drawrect and touchesmoved.
    If anyone could help me i would really appreciate. Thank you.

  • Install Badge offline?

    Hey,
    is there a possibliy to use the install badge offline? I
    produce an AIR-application for distribution on CD-Rom and so i need
    to have an install routine that do the same like the install badge,
    but offline. I tried to use it offline but there seems to be a
    security problem.
    Did anyone get run an install badge offline?
    Thanks all
    Ronny

    While the badge does not run offline, you can achieve the
    same combined AIR/application install experience from a CD-ROM
    based installation. To do that, you'll need to sign up to
    redistribute AIR itself on your CD. After you sign up, you'll
    receive the file and instructions necessary to make this work. See
    http://www.adobe.com/products/air/runtime_distribution1.html

  • Enhanced seamless install badge, asking user "open, save, or cancel"

    I’m trying to get it to start the install automatically. it seems to install my air app automatically right after installing air runtime ,but if a user already has the air runtime it ask them “ open, save or cancel"
    Can the Enhanced seamless install badge always install automatically?

    Thanks Romil, I want to make sure that I asked my question correctly.
    If the user gets air runtime installed the badge goes directly to the install and ask them if they want to install it.
    If the user already has air runtime it gives the open, save, cancel box.
    Is there a way to get the badge to go directly to the install question rather than open, save, cancel box if they already have the air runtime?

  • Is it safe to re-install console on primary site server?

    While trying to upgrade the Package Conversion Manager utility, and in removing the pre-SP1 version, I seem to have broken the console installed on our primary site server.  On opening it crashes every time; a repair ran through but hasn't helped.
    Is it safe to uninstall the console application and reinstall it?
    Thanks

    Yes; this should not cause any issues.

  • SCCM 2012 sms_dp_smspkg$ installed under Default FTP site

    I'm trying to setup a remote Distro Point on a Windows Server 2008 R2 with a FTP site already running.   I installed a Default Web site but when I set the server to be a DP it installed the SMS_DP_SMSPKG$ & SMS_DP_SMSSIG$ under the default

    Since no one has answer this post, I recommend opening  a support case with CSS as they can work with you to solve this problem.

    I just downloaded a PHP script plugin and I'm having a very difficult time installing it into my site.  HELP!  Dose anyone have a good video tutorial link?

    Unfrotunately, this sounds like a dead TC.
    - also, the picture does NOT pick up the 2 airport expressess in the house that I used to extend the wirelass network on the previous TC
    - there is no option to extend the wireless network
    You need to reconfigure the Expresses to rejoin the TC's network via a factory reset.

  • Using Dreamweaver to edit a Joomla site

    Can someone explain how to set up a Joomla site in DW so that it will display in Design Mode.
    I am using MAMP as a testing server and have opened a Joomla site in DW, but it will not display in Design mode. When I use Preview (selecting external browsers) the site works fine.
    BTW, I have created another small (one page) php/mySQL site that works in DW using the same MAMP testing server setup, but it is one I started in DW from the start. 
    Also, is there any current information on how to use DW to create your own Joomla Template?
    Thanks for any guidance. I am using DW CS4, Mac OSX 10.6, Current MAMP config, Joomla 1.5.15.

    Gerry --
    Joomla's template index.php file pulls in information from all over Joomla to display it. That includes modules, components, plugins, and information from the template itself. That's why there's usually 150 files that contribute to a single page.
    Having said that, your method for identifying where to make the change in Dreamweaver may or may not work out -- it's definitely worth a try, but my concern is that DW won't accurately show where the change needs to be made due to the number of files involved. In any case, you will definitely want to read up on the template/layout override process, so you can change the interface without it being overwritten in the next Joomla or extension release. That's described in the Joomla documentation here: http://docs.joomla.org/Layout_Overrides_in_Joomla_1.6
    Note that most documentation is written for Joomla 1.6, but you will find it works fine with Joomla 1.7. Joomla 2.5 will be released in January, so be aware that's coming as well (and another reason to be sure you future-proof your site by overriding files correctly).
    My videos will help show you how to configure DW/Joomla to work together, and it will walk you through the process of doing a template override and a layout override. However, you may find you'll want to hire an engineer to move the layout around, after which you could tweak it with CSS to make it look pretty. The code is pretty complex, and depending on your background and skills, you could find it intimidating.
    Before you ever start this type of work on your site, be very, very sure you have a backup -- it's likely you will needed. A better approach is to make a copy of the site and work on the copy. When you have finished, you can transfer the relevant files you've changed. Remember to back up the files that make up the site as well as the database -- many old DW designers remember to back up files, but all of the site's data is in the database. Akeeba Backup is an excellent, free extension, and it will allow you to make this backup quickly and easily: www.akeebabackup.com
