+theboonieman Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Is anybody else seeing red when they try to display panoramic pictures on their cache page using the PTViewer Java Applet? The one on my Capt. Boonie's Long Lost Treasure cache (http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=62457) stopped working (I believe) right after the images were moved to the new server. I tried specifying the new path to the image (http://img.Groundspeak.com/cache/62457_400.jpg) but it didn't help. I think the applet is expecting the images to be on the same server as the cache page. Boy, I hope there's a fix for this. I would hate to see this feature go away. The Boonie Man Link to comment
+theboonieman Posted July 30, 2003 Author Share Posted July 30, 2003 After reading some documentation on Java applets, I've learned that for security reasons, they are not permitted to access files on the client, nor are they allowed to make network connections to other servers. That last part is what's breaking PTViewer. The fact that the images are now on their own server, makes them inaccessible to applets on the www.geocaching.com website. By the way, this is not some applet I found on the Internet and would like to get it to work in my cache pages. It's actually hosted on www.geocaching.com under the "applet" web directory. It's been out there for a couple years now. If it's not supported anymore, just tell me and I'll drop the subject. Thanks! Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 This is also affecting several of my own cache pages. If it can't be fixed, then I'll go ahead and redesign my pages. However, I'd obviously prefer to see it corrected if possible. I believe that the break has occurred in the past week or two, which would have been long after images were moved to their own server.
