Following a hint from Gregor, I have replaced visorFreemind.swf with visorFreeplane.swf and the corresponding swfobject.js with flashobject,js.
http://freeplane.sourceforge.net
Have also used a static embedding method rather than a dynamic embedding method.
Freeplane is an actively developed fork of Freemind and works with the same .mm files.
I have also added an additional 'Nodes' control to the configuration interface. This enables the extent of display of the nodes to be controlled for the initial display of the mind map.
The latest version may be downloaded from:
https://github.com/geoffrowland/mahara-artefact_file_blocktype_freemindflash
]]>Guessing it works with the ActiveX version of Flash Player but not the general plugin version.
Flash Player 11.1.102.55 in all cases
]]>I can confirm the problem sharing Pages (Views) containing embedded FreeMind maps.
I am not entirely sure, but I don't think this was an issue when we first developed/released this plugin. Indeed, one reason for preferring Flash rendering over the Java applet was that Flash was less affected by security/ownership issues.
Still, we may have overlooked this.
Alternatively, Flash Player 'upgrades' in the meantime (I am currently on version 10.3.183.10) may have 'broken' things through security 'enhancements'
Will investigate further...
]]>I have not noticed this behaviour but will investigate further. However, it is the start of my teaching so it may take me a little while.
Will take a look at Freeplane. I'm also on the lookout for something that does not depend on Flash or Java applets to display interactive mindmaps but still uses .mm format. Perhaps something in HTML5/JavaScript/SVG
]]>We tested your plugin and have some troubles. The mind map shows correctly when a user is logged-in, but it doesn't show when the user isn't logged-in... The mind map itself is placed on a view/page that is publicaly available...
I've looked the source code, but it is the same whether the user is logged-in or not.
Any ideas?

Gregor
PS: The plugin should also work for Freeplane (which is a fork of FreeMind), since it uses the same file structure and .mm extension... but I haven't tested it yet.
]]>Yes, the plugin is now working. Thanks for the update :) I'm using Mahara 1.4

I have updated the FreeMind Flash plugin code
https://github.com/geoffrowland/mahara-artefact_file_blocktype_freemindflash
Works for me on Mahara 1.3.x and 1.4.0
As indicated previously, as well as installing artefact/file/blocktype/freemindflash (and contents) you need to edit artefact/file/lib.php, artefact/file/filetypes.xml, and artefact/file/version.php so that .mm files are recognised and handled properly.
Copies of these files are included in the download bundle, but as they may not match your particular version of Mahara, it is probably better to hand patch the changes into your setup. I'll look into a cleaner way of doing this in the future.
Of course, you will need a local installation of an up-to-date version of Adobe Flash Player and have this enabled for your browser,
On first embedding a FreeMind Flash mindmap, the 'No Flash' warning may display, though should be replaced with an interactive mindmap if you refresh your browser.
Let me know if this fixes things or if you still have problems.

]]>However, when I use the plugin it includes my .mm file as a file for download and says No Flash. A page refresh does not remove the No Flash, and the file remains a downloadable link. On my first attempt to add the file through the upload feature of the plugin, it claimed that the file was not the correct format. Once uploaded though, the plugin allowed me to select the file.

]]>thanks for your reply and support.
Yes, I visited the admin page and there I installed the freemind plugin at first (under "Plugin Administration" and then I updated version.
Greetings to you at Mahara UK11

]]>Sorry, the plugin is not (yet) working for you. The installation is a little tricky because of the tweaks required for Mahara to recognise FreeMind .mm files, though you seem to have correctly adjusted the $config->version. Have you also visited the admin page to ensure the 'update' is applied?
It is also possible I have recently scrambled something in the code on GitHub. I have made some changes which are supposed to allow it to work in both Mahara 1.3 and 1.4. I'll test things as soon as I can, though it may take a day or two as I am currently at the Mahara UK11 conference (somewhat ironically, demonstrating the FreeMind Flash plugin).

Geoff
]]>Any idea how to fix it?
Thank you :)
]]>thanks for FreeMinde plugin. I followed your instruction, but didn't succeed in getting this plugin working. When I try to click the Files, Images and Video Tab nothing happens. The functionalty of this tab returns after disabling freemind plugin (hidden).
What's going wrong with my installation?
I'm using Mahara V 1.4
(I was unsure what is meant by "increment the $config->version number in /artefacts/file/version.php". I incremented the version number from "$config->version = 2010012702;" to "$config->version = 2010012703;"
All other Codes are placed exactly as described in your instruction.
Would appreciate your Support

Great that skins are finished. The survey is a great idea. Look forward to testing it.

If I could venture a guess, it would be skins.
