Developer Notes - SHOTS

October 2019 Update:

• The latest version will now allow users to view images from the Google doc file itself. The courses which contain the previous version will not support this feature however, there is a workaround. It has been applied to the Packager as bundle.js .

Example:

• When the feedback is exported, the NEW version will contain a lengthier link like this:
  • https://qa3.icomproductions.ca/includes/modules/FM_QA/admin/fm_qa_shots_manager.php?viewImageJSON=https://shots-7d808.firebaseio.com/screenshots/-LsIqKuAMOSSA7P__aHH.json
  • [Scene:1, Slide:1, Layer:Base Layer, Time:00:00, Title:Untitled Slide] Comment: https://qa3.icomproductions.ca/includes/modules/FM_QA/admin/fm_qa_shots_manager.php?viewImageJSON=https://shots-7d808.firebaseio.com/screenshots/-LqHpHScsrwzm8U60cS3.json

• While the OLD version will only have:
  • https://shots-7d808.firebaseio.com/screenshots/-LsIqKuAMOSSA7P__aHH.json
  • On the QA List of feedback Comment Tab it will look like this:
  • [Scene:5, Slide:10, Layer:Base Layer, Time:00:05, Title:Overhangs] Comment: https://shots-7d808.firebaseio.com/screenshots/-LsIqKuAMOSSA7P__aHH.json

Workaround for old links

To view comment links which like the example above directly, simply put a prefix before the link to the actual screenshot.

So this old comment link,

https://shots-7d808.firebaseio.com/screenshots/-LsIqKuAMOSSA7P__aHH.json

Becomes,

https://qa3.icomproductions.ca/includes/modules/FM_QA/admin/fm_qa_shots_manager.php?viewImageJSON=https://shots-7d808.firebaseio.com/screenshots/-LsIqKuAMOSSA7P__aHH.json

IMPORTANT

You'll have to be logged in to FiLMS to make use of this feature since SHOTS is simply using a pass-through to the screenshot manager. An error appears when you're not logged in.
