Ben Rigby replied on November 13, 2009 17:52 to the idea "Password-Protection and sharing with non-prezi-users" in Prezi:

This doesn't seem to be live yet - as far as I can tell. A prezi is either Private (without a URL) or public (with a public URL).

I'd really really like a private Prezi with a URL. So that I can share internal documents with my team and with clients.

I would like to be able to set a password for the Prezi (similar to setting a .htaccess password for a directory) and have people login to view (but not edit)

Ben Rigby asked a question in Dvolver on October 24, 2009 16:44:

Who will make Dvolver Better??

Want to be the one that takes Dvolver to the next level. We're looking for a skilled PHP/MySQL (+Flash/Flex) volunteer developer. You could be the one that makes it happen. Email me at ben --[at]-- dvolver --[dot]-- com

Ben Rigby replied on October 24, 2009 16:33 to the question "Can I get access to a movie from 2002 SRC="http://mm.dfilm.com/mm2/plot_template_final_cihost.swf?movie_id=258586"" in Dvolver:

i hear you. and get this request somewhat often. in the past, i've had to clean the database out every couple of years to keep our data storage bill down.

since i started getting requests like these to see old movies, i've stopped cleaning out the database... and actually, storage costs have come down quite a bit, so it's not so much an issue any more.

but movies from quite a long time ago remain in deep freeze. however, they do still exist and could be revived with about 40hours of coding time. if you know any PHP/MySql coders who would like to volunteer their time for the purpose, i'd be happy to set them to the task.

Ben Rigby replied on October 24, 2009 16:28 to the question "embed the application on my website" in Dvolver:

yep - on every movie page, there is an embed code.

Ben Rigby replied on October 24, 2009 16:27 to the question "Character requests" in Dvolver:

hi brent - we dont usually make characters for businesses on a one off basis. we've licensed the moviemaker software before - but usually as part of a larger custom development deal.

Ben Rigby replied on September 02, 2009 03:54 to the question "I want to "bank" my films in my account on dvolver.com." in Dvolver:

i've been wanting to do this for some time. if any of you are PHP coders and can volunteer your time, i'm happy to let you at the code to make this enhancement.

sorry, no. all of the data is stored on the server - so it needs to connect to be able to get it.

Heya - I just tested with accents - and you can add them. See:
http://www.dvolver.com/live/movies-26...
The only place they don't work is in the title screens.

But I would LOVE some money to upgrade this thing! Haven't done so since 1998 - and I have so many ideas for how it could be an amazing educational tool. So if there are any grantwriters out there who would like to help, just let me know.

I actually did just apply for a MacArthur grant, but didn't win it.... but that's the only one that I've applied for to date.

sometimes the emails get caught by spamblockers... it's a bummer, but not much we can do about it...

Ben Rigby replied on April 22, 2009 16:51 to the question "My movie gets stuck in loading at 83% can I fix this?" in Dvolver:

Oh, and it should run now, by the way.

Ben Rigby replied on April 22, 2009 16:49 to the question "My movie gets stuck in loading at 83% can I fix this?" in Dvolver:

It looks like you used the music track called:
CLUBMIX-DREAMIN'

This track was renamed a couple of years ago to:
CLUBMIX-DREAMIN
because the apostrophe was causing just this kind of loading problem.

Somehow, it appears that an old file was restored and this track is now back in the list. Very very strange. Going to have to dig a little deeper here.

can you post the link so that i can check it out?

Ben Rigby replied on March 26, 2009 19:15 to the question "Why cant I see anything after I click go" in Dvolver:

Hm. Definitely looks like the Flash is not loading. Maybe try upgrading your Flash player??
