Hi

does the TYPO3 BE include a piece of code such that Adobe Flash Plugin
in needed?

On a 4.1.3-201.fc22.i686, + Firefox 42.0 machine, I am asked to
update the Flash Plugin anytime I login in the BE.

Is there something I can do, if I do not want to update the flash
-plugin?

thanks
greetings
mario

Hi Mario,

you are still running a TYPO3 4.1.3 installation? You should really
upgrade! :-)

To your underlying question: Yes, there is. If activated, it is/was a
flash uploader for the filelist module.

IIRC you can disable it in your user settings.

Greetings
Marcus

The flash uploader was removed in 6.1. So there is no option to disable
it any more.

TYPO3 comes with some 3rd party components (flowplayer and flashmedia)
which use flash. But AFAIK they are only for rendering the media element
in FE.

Maybe you have an extension installed that uses flash in the BE.

Otherwise I've no idea anymore.

Hi!

If you upgrade to current 6.2.x version, this will not be asked anymore.

The reason for being asked for Flash is very simple. The ExtJs library tests the availability of Flash and therefore tries to initialize a SWFObject, which causes the browser to ask you questions.
Later versions of 6.2.x have that very check removed.

Hope that helps.

Kind regards
Markus

Hello list!

Has this cleanup really been done?
I have an 6.2.17 running and there is stil lthe request for the
flashplugin. The only javascript file containing the string "swfplayer"
is typo3\contrib\extjs\ext-all.js
IMHO the core is still trying to load the flash plugin...

Kind regards,
André

Hi,

I am using version 6.2.19, preinstalled at jweiland.net, and get the
request for the flashplugin (asking from Firefox 42, Fedora 22)

Is there a way to fix that (if we do think that there is something to
be fixed)?
thanks, cheers
