Podcast Suite
  Using 1pixelout/Word Press player in Podcast Suite, February 11, 2008 |
I'm giving this component (and it's associated bot and module) 4 stars. It's the best podcasting setup for Joomla that is available so far.
I've managed to incorporate the Word Press player bot (also known as 1pixelout player) to show up automatically when a new podcast is posted in the Podcast Suite component. A Download link also appears just above the player.
Keep in mind that this works on my Joomla 1.X site and that just because it works for me, it might not work for your particular Joomla site. In other words, just 'cuz I've found a work-around that works for me, it might or might not work for you and I offer no follow-up advice or support beyond this post.
Items used:
Podcast Suite ver. 1.1 stable (unmodified/unhacked. This only works if you hve NOT installed the modified plugin/bot that changes the default flash player.)
http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,255/Itemid,35/
Word Press Player for Joomla! (also called the 1pixelout player)
http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,4063/Itemid,35/
Install the Podcast Suite (component, module, and mambot/plugin), and the Word Press Player mambot/plugin.
Be sure to activate the Podcast mambot and the 1pixelout mambot after installing.
In the Podcast Suite component settings:
Link type is set to HTML Code.
In the enclosure code text field, paste this exactly as shown here:
[code]Click here to download this file{audio}{filename}{/audio}[/code]
I've tried setting it up so that the flash player is on top and the download link is underneath, but that doesn't work. So the only way that this hack works is if the download link is displayed first.
I then set up an rss feed to display the last X number of podcasts available. The feed URL is available by going to Components > Podcast > Catagory Feed Links
I strip off the last bit of the URL (&catID=X) and it seems to be working fine.
