Secure source for Facebook page tabs

Post by garrethmc »

Hi,

I'm loading the following object

http://swf.yowindow.com/wimo/hpPal/hpPal.swf

in a Facebook Page Tab.

As this doesn't come from a secure (https) src, my browser will display a warning, as the rest of the Facebook content is delivered over https. Not nice for user.

2 questions:

1. Is there a secure src I can load this from?

2. When I move the swf file to a secure location (eg my web server), and load it from there, I don't get location specific weather data. I presume this by design?

Hi, Garreth!

1. No. We want to provide the widget over SSL.
Some people have already asked for it.
Unfortunately I don't have enough time to setup and support secure widget delivery.

However, you can deploy widget files to your own secure server or probably to Facebook.
As far as I remember Herman (hermanz) has made a standalone YoWindow widget.
Herman, can you comment on this?

2. Sorry, I did not understand. Do you mean that the weather is not displayed inside the widget in this case?
Get YoWindow weather app for your phone or tablet.

See this page to see what I mean about downloading the swf from an independent source:

https://warm-winter-2233.herokuapp.com/ ... /test.html

(Note *no* browser warning)


When I download the swf from yowindow, its fine:

https://warm-winter-2233.herokuapp.com/ ... index.html

(Note browser warning)

Now I understand!
YoWindow widget is not just a single .swf
There is a set of files that comprise the widget.

We do not officially deploy standalone widget.
But I think we should do this in the near future.

Please remind me about this in a couple of weeks?

Hi Par,

I am also interested in running YoWindow from an https address. When requesting http://he2.yowindow.com/yowidget3/yowidget.swf from an https page in the latest version of Chrome (v22) nothing shows up at all. On previous chrome versions it would show up, but now it seems to be totally blocked.

I tried downloading the "yowidget.swf" file and hosting it locally on our webserver on https, but it seems to be missing other files. I saw your mention of a "standalone widget". I would like to try that out. Could you send me info on how to download that?

Thanks

Hi Hermanz, thanks for the link to 'yo_window.zip'. I have it working over https just fine now with the four landscapes it included. It also works with other .ywl landscapes downloaded from this forum. :Yahoo!:

I then tried to get the original <landscape type="plugin"...> landscapes working, like village, seaside, airport, oriental, (by downloading them from your website at http://he2.yowindow.com/yowidget3/lands ... illage.swf, etc, and including them in my landscapes folder with their .ywl file). But I couldn't find a way to get the plugin landscapes to work with the yo_window.zip.

Is there a way to get those working in stand-alone, or is it limited to <landscape type="picture"...> only, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks Cred.
