Adobe Scene7 Viewers section-0b0363fae0274737bace119f281e740f

Viewer upgrades are backwards compatible and therefore, no changes are necessary to your existing web code. However, it is recommended that you test the new viewers on Adobe’s staging environment. The following website gives instructions on how you can set up your system to access Adobe’s staging server:

After you have set up your computer to access the staging server, you can check your website to test the upgrade. For customers using out-of-the-box viewers, best practice is for you to test against Adobe’s standard staging server and s7is1-preview-staging.scene7.com.

Known issues and restrictions section-368dd0dc138b44e28b49314e4ad0fa1a

All Scene7 viewers

  • Watermarks, obfuscation, and locking are not supported.

All viewers

  • Embedding viewer in table may result in incorrect sizing or placement of viewer in non-native fullscreen mode. Suggest using DIVs instead.
  • Parameters with explicit instance names in the code must be overwritten; instance names in a URL must also be overwritten. For example, zoomView.iconeffect=0.
  • Image Serving command crop is not supported.
  • Close button only works if the viewer is open in a child window.

Adobe Analytics Training

  • When using Dynamic Media viewers with Adobe Analytics tracking based on s_code.jsp, “page” requests are sent rather than "track” requests for all tracked events. This process results in over-inflated page view metrics for pages that contain a Dynamic Media viewer. To fix this issue, copy the contents of AppMeasurementBridge.jsp to a JavaScript file to be served with the viewer page. In the resultant JavaScript, replace all calls to s.t() with s.tl() for all events other than LOAD event. This issue does not impact Scene7 video viewers using the new Adobe Analytics Video Heartbeat reporting.
  • Internet Explorer: “Access is denied” JavaScript error occurs using SSL / HTTPS with Adobe Analytics tracking enabled.

eCatalog viewer

  • JavaScript templates in image maps are not supported.
  • Navigating to another HTML page and then returning occasionally causes the viewer to reset back to the first page.
  • Set ImageMapEffect rollover modifier to 1 to invoke info panels.

  • Page layout occasionally displays incorrectly after rotating the iOS device. Zoom into page corrects layout.

  • To render thumbnails properly in outgoing email, the serverurl modifier must have an absolute URL.

  • The poster image may encounter “max size” error. In such case, the user must increase the limit setting for Image Serving Publish.
  • Video captions require a company ruleset if they are hosting an HTML page that is served from an external server that is not a Scene7 server. Contact Adobe technical support for assistance.
