Jing provides tags (values) for the following variables: height, width, and filename. Insert variables in brackets like this: [height] [width] [filename].
Note: Jing does not support sFTP or FTPs
Since it's your FTP server, you're in total control. That's the good news. The bad news is that since Jing doesn't know anything about your FTP server, you'll have to manually configure your custom code or html embed code. Please contact your IT Administrator or hosting provider if you encounter problems as there are many ways FTP access can be configured.
Overview and Notes:
- You can create multiple FTP buttons. FTP buttons can return a link or embed code to your content. Therefore if you sometimes want to link to content and other times wish to embed content, you would need two FTP buttons.
- The provided sample code below is the minimum required. For videos in particular you can add a great deal of advanced customization that goes beyond the scope of this topic.
- In order for your images and videos to appear to viewers, you need to specify a folder where they can be publicly accessed. For example, many FTP servers have a "public_html" folder. In other cases, this may not be required, or perhaps you would like your Jing content to go in a different folder. You need to make sure the folder has the appropriate permissions so that viewers can see the content.
Sample HTML Link Code:
Paste and modify the following into your FTP button's Custom code fields. Jing will returns a URL where viewers can see your content. This works for both images and videos. Remember the folder has to have the appropriate permissions.
http://example.com/[filename]
Sample HTML Embed Code:
Paste the following into Custom image code:
<img src="http://example.com/[filename]" width="[width]" height="[height]"/>
If you want the embedded image to also serve as a link (by default to itself) paste and modify this code:
<a href="http://example.com/[filename]"> <img src="http://example.com/[filename]" width="[width]" height="[height]" />"
Paste the following into Custom video code:
<embed src="http://example.com/[filename]" width="[width]" height="[height]"/>
Try an Internet search for parameters embed to learn more about parameters such as autoplay="false" and allowFullScreen="true"
