bot_gzNoClickToActivate Plugin

A simple mambot/plugin-based "Click to activate" workaround for Joomla 1.0.x/Mambo 4.5.x and Joomla 1.5.x (- new -) based websites By simply installing and publishing this mambot / pluign the proper way, all your former applet or object embeddings, most important the Flash clips, will not ask to be clicked anymore. You don't even have to get into your old content and edit it: Just leave it as it is, publish additional Flash clips (or applets) as you used to before - you don't have to worry about the proper embedding as it is handled by the mambot.

The initial version 1.0 had a bug by which more than 9 media embeddings would not be displayed correctly. This has been fixed in the minor 1.01 update.

The new version 1.5 for Joomla 1.5.x works exactly the same way like the version 1.0x works for Joomla 1.0.x. It is tagged "legacy" because it uses the legacy style of implementing plugins, which is very similar to implementing old-school mambots, although there's already a far more efficient API. Thus this old-style implementation will become deprecated and perhaps non-operational eventually. ... As for the time being a lot of Joomla 1.5's core plugins are implemented this way as well, I'll face this problem when it becomes unavoidable, but not earlier than that.

NOTE: This is a mambot / plugin. Meaning: Objects (Flash or media clips, JAVA applets) embedded into your content (blogs, static content) will be corrected.
Component based Flash clips (like through Expose) are not supported at this time (I'm working on that, though).

On my site... Running Joomla 1.0.11... is weird... on some modules the bot works fine... no more activation click... but in other modules... you still need to click them...

Highly needed mambot. Works like a charm.
Keep up the good work!

@lionel28: Works for me. Did you also publish it after installation?

Otherwise: Can you send me a test URL where it doesn't work? Perhaps your Flash embeddings are noch recognized correctly, in that case I'd have to tweak the regexp's.
does not work

I tried on a couple of sites and I still have to click to activate. Mambot was published as the last item. I tried with the expose component and the XeGal component
