Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

"Scribd" embeded reader not opening to full size

I use Scribd (www.scribd.com/) to embed documents in my blog. I have never had any issues with this service. I am building a new site with Atahualpa, and the small button on the Scribd window that enlarges the window to full size just doesn't work in Atahualpa.....I pretty novice here, but I think its some kind of flash type issue?

Any help would be appreciated. I really love the Scribd platform for storing and presenting my documents, many which are huge pdf files.

thanks, Doug

Atahualpa isn't doing anything flash related. Does it work with the "default" theme? If yes, please post a URL (with Atahualpa turned on again)

my WP/Atahuapla URL is www.5goulds.com. Give me an a few minutes to publish that page so you can see it. See "Reference" page for the Scribd files.

Also, you can see the way I expect the Scribd script to react over here at:
http://5goulds.squarespace.com/reference-library/

click on that little box all the way over on the right that makes the Scribd file go full screen to see what I'm talking about. When I do that in WP, nothing happens.

thanks, this is great!

Thank you for the donation, Doug.

Checking the sites... Probably some Javascript needs to be inserted into the header...

I noticed that Scribd is inserted very differently on the two pages. On Squarespace the files are inserted as

Code:
<embed src=
whereas on the Wordpress site they're inserted as

Code:
<param name="src" value="
The <embed src= method is what comes up when I google for "embed flash". Is there a reason you have a completely different Scribd code for the Wordpress site? Has Scribd changed their code meanwhile, or were you given different alternative codes and you chose one for the Wordpress site?

It seems that I would have to get an account at Scribd to have a look at the codes they suggest for embedding their player, there seems to be none on the outside of their page.

Can you insert this working code (from Squarespace) into the Wordpress site and see if it works there: Otherwise it's hard to tell whether it is Wordpress/the theme or the Scribd code:

Code:
<object codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0"

wow, now there is some really strange things going on.

I cut/paste the code you gave, and it didn't help. I also went back to Scribd and cut/paste some more code for my site. With those links, when you click on the 'full page' button, it jumps to a long, tiny list of the pages, and then when I hit the "back" button on my browser (firefox), my banner image is squished to about 300px side/side...

if you go to my "reference" page, you will see all 4 versions of the same scribd doc, as I embeded them. One of those is from the code you posted above.

I hope we can fix this because I love using Scribd.
