I suspect your code is slightly wrong, Wimpy runs fine on FF (providing you have flash installed) - I've just visited the site.

There are some differences in your code, and of course, we can't see wimpy.php - which I think is also important.

Trim out everything you don't need (skins and other options)- just leave the essentials. I'd recommend creating a single page (no cubecart) and getting that running first.

The Wimpy site's homepage has their player running, and I note you're missing the following parameter;

<embed src="

ps- love the store so far, I might be tempted to buy a track when you get the samples running!

Thanks for the advise,

Im really a beginer when it comes to code, learnt most of it through this website.

Here's the wimpy.php code...

Just found this in the wimpy help file...

Wimpy doesn't display properly across different browsers / platforms.

Be sure to use the Customizer tool at wimpyplayer.com to create the HTML for your page. The issue is that you have probably edited the HTML manually. In doing so, you only replaced the reference to the skin_name.xml in the <object> tag and not in the <embed> tag (or vise versa).

If you insist on editing the HTML manually, be sure to change the attributes in both the <object> and <embed> tags.

In addition, applying CSS styles around or appending to the wimpy HTML is not recommended since there are too many cross-browser / cross-platform issues. Wimpy should only be displayed using the standard HTML.

It is recommended that you only use the HTML that the Customizer tool at wimpyplayer.com generates. Any other code will more-than-likely cause wimpy to freak out and / or not display consistently on all browsers / platforms

Looks like ill add a pop up for firefox users unless anyone can think of something dofferent?

Hi,

I've been pretty busy, but did manage to get something running;

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,47,0" id="wimpy">

	<param value="always" name="allowScriptAccess"/>

	<param value="http://www.allthingsbouncy.com/samples/player/wimpy.swf" name="movie"/>

	<param value="wimpyApp=http://www.allthingsbouncy.com/samples/coyotevol1part1/wimpy.php&wimpySkin=http://www.allthingsbouncy.com/samples/player/skins/skin_tube.xml&theVolume=80&popUpHelp=no&startupLogo=http://www.allthingsbouncy.com/samples/player/loading.jpg&limitPlaytime=20" name="flashvars"/>

	<embed src="http://www.allthingsbouncy.com/samples/player/wimpy.swf?wimpyApp=http://www.allthingsbouncy.com/samples/coyotevol1part1/wimpy.php" loop="false" menu="false" quality="high" wmode="transparent" width="200" height="16" scale="noscale" salign="lt" name="wimpy" align="center" bgcolor="#000000" allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />

</object>

However, I didn't have the time/info to work out what was going on. (the player is very small)

If you're looking to automatically select the demo from the currently selected product, its going to need some PHP to generate the filename.

I suggest getting the above working as you need it - just as a single standalone page (copy into notepad and save as mp3.htm Then open/test in FF/IE

If you can get is so that a param can set the mp3 file;

<param value="your productcode.mp3" name="filename">

You're not that far away...

However, this will require you to read the Wimpy docs.

Once you've got a working test, you should be able to place most of the HTML code inside viewProd.tpl on your skin. Selecting the filename will require some PHP coding though. However, if you ensure all the demos have the filename as "productcode.mp3", it shouldn't take too much work.

I'm a bit tight for time at the moment!

Thanks for the reply.

Ive been looking at my server records and it show that IE counts for 98% of my web traffic.

That being the case i have added a _blank popup to play the files, although its the wimpy default, at least it works and i can add it really easy.

Which album you want? :-)

Pete, really glad you got the help, and not wanting to rain on your parade, but . . .

Best place to get more help with this would be from wimpy, as the prob is cross-browser issue with their player rather than CubeCart, and while there, ask them about the wisdom of publishing their code in the public forum, since it is copyrighted.

Again, not to be negative at all, wish you best of luck, but a word to the wise is usually sufficient */*

I very valid point, i have now removed the code from the post

Your right, is is wimpy i need help from but they state on there website that there are cross browser issue's, something to do with the CSS??

Any Who, sorted now with my pop up!

Long Live Cubecart & the forum.... How long has it been around?

Hi all,

Pete did you ever find a solution for this besides the pop-up that worked on both IE and FF? I just ran into the same problem as you on my store where IE displays my preview button correctly but FF does not. This is the first instance that I've had with Wimpy doing this as I have the buttons on other websites I maintain and they display fine in both browsers.

Thanks for any help you can give,

Luke
