Seems like a good plugin, but it doesn’t seem to work. First, the instructions for use are very sketchy and almost non-existent. Visited and read the sites for the included scripts, and one of those deals with “preparation of the SVG file”. I created a simple SVG in Inkscape. Cleaned it on the suggested site. Pasted it into the “Instant Vivus” script on their site and animated the SVG. Downloaded the animated version of the file. Re-uploaded to that site to check it out again. It’s a working animated SVG file per Vivus requirements.
Uploaded the file to my site, and used the shortcode to implement the animation on a test page.
No permutation (full URL, short URL, different locations on site) of URL placed in the location quotes, works. I tried placing the SVG file in the Plugin’s own “svg folder” where the demo files are located – as that is the instructions on the Calder page, though that’s not usually how one gets media files into WP. That didn’t work either. I tried using the demo files and they don’t work.
There are no instructions to troubleshoot this issue. One of the scripts has info suggesting that a size must be used in order to make it visible. I have a size inside my SVG. The Calder plugin says nothing about parameter usage. There is still nothing visible at all except the text leading up to this location on the page.
