personalized landscape: so where is the error?

[Extranjero]

I'm trying to get working a personalized landscape on the www-widget.

I suppose having read all about the theme in the forum and instructions and having tried every hint there.

But it still doesn't work.

I set up a test-page on http://www.spanishcourses.info/yoWindow ... owTEST.htm where you can see that, if the ywl-file is taken from yoWindow, it works.

With the same configuration, same file names taken from my own server, on then same page (http://www.spanishcourses.info/yoWindow ... owTEST.htm) only the sky is shown up.

I also let read (live) and showing up the content of the ywl-file and of the crossdomain.xml, so it might be easier to detect the error.

Please tell me, where the error might be located.

Thx.

Edited 20 of december 2010 - note: Setting up the crossdomain.xml and register the mime-type on the server resolved the problem. Working examples can be seen on http://www.spanishcourses.info/cities5/ ... -10-EN.htm, http://www.spanishcourses.info/cities5/ ... -18-EN.htm or http://www.spanishcourses.info/cities5/ ... 365-EN.htm (the last one switching personalized landscape within serveral reloads of the page)
The application is TOP and the forum support too.
Thank you!

Hi

if I look at the sourcecode of your site I see "landscape=colosseum.ywl"
Here you have to write "landscape=http://www.spanishcourses.info/??/colosseum.ywl". This means the full url

ok ... (as you can see) I changed it.

Result: http://swf.yowindow.com/wimo/hpPal/hpPal.swf calls for http://www.spanishcourses.info/yoWindow/colosseum.ywl?noCache=160 and gets the same 404-Error as when I call directly for http://www.spanishcourses.info/yoWindow/colosseum.ywl?noCache=160.

I suppose this is why the server doesn't know about how to treat/handle ywl-files.

If I rename the ywl-file to colosseum.xml, it is found and I can open it without any problem, but logically it doesn't work with yoWindow because there is an ywl-file required ...

And yes, I could tell my servers to handle ywl-files, but I think not much people, wanting to use yoWindow on their websites, can realize changes regarding to treat file-extensions on their hostings ...

So what's your proposal?

If you ask me, as for the ywl-file is a xml-file, why not accept directly xml-files in the application?; (nearly) every webserver knows to handle xml-files without changes in the accepted file-extensions, and if this is the problem, it would be solved this way.

Hi

Have you a name

Change the content of the crossdomain.xml with

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy (View Source for full doctype...)>
- <cross-domain-policy>
<site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="all" />
<allow-access-from domain="*" secure="true" />
<allow-http-request-headers-from domain="*" headers="*" secure="true" />
</cross-domain-policy>

Now you have

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy (View Source for full doctype...)>
- <cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*.yowindow.com" secure="true" />
</cross-domain-policy>

And yes change the colosseum.xml in colosseum.ywl and tells your webserver to handle ywl files

I inserted my name registering me ... it's Matthias .

I did as you said - and: it works.

Registering the MIME-type ywl as text/xml on the servers resolved the problem.

To open the crossdomain.xml to everybody (which might be a security risk) is not necessary.

Thx for your time & advices!
