This is really really strange, can’t wrap my head around what might be happening. Can you check what permissions are set on the specific file that fails to be read? From that I might be able to tell what goes wrong. Only thing I can think of is that write is allowed but not read? e.g. 330? Would be really wired, but strange things happen on some servers. But that way we could at least tell. Do you get the red warning box on the Edge Suite manage page? Just for me to know if your PHP process runs within a different user then your FTP.

Maybe you can test this on another WP installation? That would also narrow it down a bit.

Hi,
did you use the latest version, 0.3 to test OAM files? Any error messages?

Guess the iPhone thing is a different topic. Does the normal “non-wp” version work on iphone? Would guess its a flexible layout thing? Haven’t tested edge on phones too much yet, but it should work with flexibel layout as this especially acts on widow width.

Hi there,
yes, i have just updated the code, not the version number. Will do that when it seems to work all right. Have to think about version numbers as I don’t want to change it with every little addition.

Stephen, you are right, use the id that shows up in the drop down and use it in the shortcode. That should work. With the two attributes “left” and “top” you can set the margin of the stage div. Just use numbers which will convert to pixel, or use “auto” for centering horizontally.

Otherwise let me know what’s unclear.

Hi, I have just committed an update. Shortcodes are supported now.

The following should work:
[edge_animation id="4"]
[edge_animation id="4" left="auto"]
[edge_animation id="4" left="10" top="20"]

If you want to use shortcodes in widgets, go to the Edge Suite settings page and enable “use shortcodes in widgets”.

Let me know if that works out for you, then I would include it into documentation.

Thanks for the suggestions, I thinks that’s a really nice feature.

Hi Darnell,
thanks for your feedback. PHP doesn’t seem to be able to read in the content of your main edge.js file, which ist really strange.
I guess the script crashes completely, so auto cleanup won’t delete the tmp extracted files. Can you check what permissions are set on /xxxxxxx/wp-content/uploads/edge_suite/edge_tmp/src_1349479483/Assets/scrollTopInDiv_edge.js. Did you set uploads/edge_suite dir to 777? Looks like read permission is not set for the file, although that’s really strange as the file must be written by php, which means php is the owner and should definitely be able to read it. Another option might be that there is a problem with file_gets_content on your server, but that’s also very unlikely. What hoster are you on?

Awesome! Thanks for your feedback!

A shortcode seems to be a great idea. Do you have anything in mind besides placing the composition in the post?

Hi,
I just pushed updates for version 0.3. Could you please test how your compositions work with the new version? OAM and minified files are now supported, would be great if you could use oam files when testing your compositions. They get generated when publishing with option “Animate Deployment Package”.

Thanks

Hi,
sorry, I’m a bit slow today:
1) What do you mean by “type generated by Edge”?
2) Do you have an example composition so I can check?

But in general the current release is not fully compatible with Edge Animate 1.0 yet. I’ll try to fix that asap, latest end of the weekend. Maybe that will already solve the problems you are having.

But in general the file upload works now?

Hi,
glad to hear it works now. I’ll check the publish output again.
I guess you need to make overflow hidden and apply flexible layouts (new in preview 7). There is a video tutorial, in case you are interested, it even explains how to do adaptiv layouts with EdgeCommons that we are working on. Here is the video:

Hi,
I’m not sure I get it. The animation on the page works now or not? I can at least see a moving box there, no images though. I don’t think it really matters how you zip it. In general I just right click the folder and zip it. That means that you have one “container” folder with all the files in it plus the image and edge_include folders. It should even work without the container folder, not sure, would have to test it.
I just opened and resaved the box example you sent yesterday, zipped it, uploaded it to wordpress. It shows up as expected in pagelines. Do you want me to sent you the zipped file?

Hi, thanks for the stuff, way easier to debug this way ?? I totally forgot to consider that Edge Suite doesn’t support minified versions of compositions (yet!). In preview 6 it all worked, but in 0.7 it now gets even more compressed and I would have to do all hell lot of parsing to adjust path prefixes. I’ll contact the Edge team to check what the plan is. So for now please don’t “publish” in Edge to build the archive. Just use the plain folder and zip it (deleting the published folder before).
The messages your are getting are all ok, no problems there, uploading seems to work nicely. But I couldn’t find the stage container on the “Test Edge Page”. Did you insert the edge section? One other thing is the carousel. You might want to test Edge own its own first as the JS might clash somehow.

Like I said, multiple things can go wrong. Easiest would be if you sent me the composition, then I test it on my installation and check if everything works. Next best thing is looking at an online version. By looking at at the raw source code I can just check if the stage HTML was rendered correctly and if the JS preloader file was inserted, I can’t tell if JS crashes somewhere.

Can I take a look at the page somewhere?

Otherwise can you save the page and sent it to me? Or sent me the animation?
You can also take a look at the sourcecode and just search for “stage” to check if the htmk is there. But if you get the white frame the stage for the composition is probably set up correctly. What browser are you using? Can you activate the console in chrome (??J on mac / Control – Shift – J on win). My guess is some kind of JS problem.

Looks like you delete a PHP opening tag when taking out the code. Insert a <?php before that line (echo pl_source ….) in header.php, right after </head>

Does the edge animation show up?

I just put together a section for the pageline theme. With that you don’t need to place the PHP code anywhere. You can place a general edge suite section anywhere in the template with drag and drop. Edge Suite will then render the composition into this section. Give it a try if you want.
