[PLUGIN] Version differences

 [1/8] from: carl::cybercraft::co::nz at: 26-Nov-2004 12:08


Hi all, If you look at the plugin docs here... http://www.rebol.net/plugin/tests/plugin-guide.html you'll notice in the OBJECT specs that the ID is "REBOL" and the codebase file is: rebolb4.cab If you load the plugin test page however... http://www.rebol.net/plugin/tests/test.html and look at its HTML, the object ID is "RPluginIE" and the codebase file is: rebolb5.cab So which should we be using/is it safe to use the later version as used by the test page? Carl Read.

read/binary worked fine for me. I'd suggest reporting problems on the the REBOL.com feeback page, Sunanda.

I just took a look and got an error with Read FTP. Who should I contact about issues with it? I see it says JoshM on the rebol-view safeworld, but I haven't used that. Email, perhaps? Thanks. --Charles

It is not safe! Plugin is still beta... I expect in a final implementation that the codebase will look like this: codebase="rebol.cab#version=1,2,3,4" where "rebol.cab" remains constant, and only the version changes. The object ID isn't necessary for the running of the embedded rebol script, except where the script needs to access some of the parameters supplied in the object tag. Theoretically, (and I hope this will happen,) several plugins can exist on the one page. Therefore, each one can be identified by a different object ID, and two instances of a plugin script can each figure out that they indeed belong to a different object. So my answer: - the object ID doesn't matter, except if the rebol script needs to access it. - I recommend using the latest version of the .cab file that you can find. When it comes time to report errors, you can say you are using the latest version. Anton.

For a definitive answer, you'd be best dropping a feedback message to REBOL.com. The id parameter is just an HTML thing -- should make no difference. The classid and codebase do make the difference. From a quick squint inside the binaries, the CAB4 identifies itself as REBOL version 1.2.46.31. while the CAB5 says it is 1.2.47.3.1. 1.2.47.3.1 does not appear to have been mentioned on the REBOL-view Altme world where the main plugin discussions took place And it's not obvious from here.... http://www.rebol.net/projects/view1.3/downloads/ ....what the differences might be.
