Hi everyone.

 

I am developing the CC Portal for Malaysia. I have some questions about the integration part.

 

For the first questions:

 

1. I had developed the simple license acquirement page here:
   http://www.fireworksmedia.com/~wip/cc/license-index.html
   
   the source codes can be found here : http://www.fireworksmedia.com/~wip/cc/ccmy-license-demo.zip

 

2. In the “Choose license” page : We mimicked the form in the CC.org portal. This form will POST the information such as license characteristic and the information of the work ( title, author..ect) to the result page.

 

3. the result page ( results.php) will then calculate based on the postdata received on which license to show – generally there are 6 licenses.

 

4. then it will insert the data into the page and it becomes what you see in the results page.

 

5. You can see that this is a simple form function that does the trick, HOWEVER it doesn’t really uses the http://creativecommons.org/license/results-one engine ( or is it a webservice ) on the main portal.

 

6. The limitation of this method is that we can’t choose the Jurisdictions,  because for each country they have different version on the license_url ( say brazil is … license/by-nd/2.0 and its different for each country ). So this is my limitation.

 

7. SO THE REAL question is what is the best way to acquire the license_url  without using the popup type that is taught on the web integration bit on http://creativecommons.org/technology/web-integration
   I don’t want to use this because it brings ppl out of our site, then direct them to the main engine, then comes back to our site.. which seems to long of a process.

 

This is my lengthy question, does anyone have the solution? Please reply me… and thanks in advance.
