Releases for Flash Node

This version of flash node introduces support for Views and fixes a number of bugs from the issue queue.

The key change to be aware of is that the permissions for flash node have been changed to bring them in line with the rest of the Drupal system. You will need to grant permissions to let users who create flash node content access the display settings, basic settings and advanced settings.

Other changes are described in CHANGELOG.txt.

Minor change to flash node required in order to work correctly with SWF Tools 5.x-2.2 when remote media urls are configured.

Fixes critical bug #305809: Flashnode 6.x-2.0 wont work without SWF tools 6 installed

Fix for #228731: filepath error with the import function of the flash node module - under some versions of PHP5 the import function failed as a trailing slash was appended to the file path when calling realpath(). This formed bad paths which broke the import routine. Thanks to wildwildwaist for reporting and helping with the debugging of this one.

This is the first official release of flash node for Drupal 6!

If you are upgrading from flash node 5.x please make sure to read the update instructions before getting started!

Fixes bug that meant base parameter was not passed to internal direct embedding code. Base is now handled correctly even if SWF Tools is not present.

This is a new feature release for Drupal 5 that backports some new features from the Drupal 6 work. The most significant change is that this release implements the requested "bulk import" feature. You can now upload multiple files to your flash directory (and you can also create sub-directories) and then get flash node to import them and create nodes. The import means you can work around HTTP file upload limits, or you can use FTP to upload lots of swf files and then create the nodes in one go.

A second key changes is that you can now disable access to the basic and advanced flash node settings so you can prevent users from altering settings such as the substitution text. As part of this change the default display type (teaser only / full view only / both) can be set on the settings page. You can disable this part of the node creation form, again using permissions, to prevent users altering it.

You can now also limit the upload types that flash node will accept by specifying allowable extensions. In flash node for Drupal 5 this is a "global" settings that applies to all users, but in the release for version 6 this will be configurable per user role, much like upload.module.

This is an important release as it updates the {flashnode} table in preparation for Drupal 6. All users of Flash node for Drupal 5 will need to install this version of Flash node and run upgrade.php BEFORE moving to Drupal 6. A change to the {files} table in Drupal 6 will mean that content is broken if this update is not installed!

This version of flashnode adds the ability to upload mp3 and flv files. These files will be rendered using the default players specified by SWFTools. This is designed for quick and easy upload of audio and video files if you don't need the full features of a dedicated audio/video module.

It also incorporates a couple of minor bug fixes that had not yet made an official release.
