Preachit! ComponentModulePluginLanguage

Preachit is the no.1 rated sermon component on the Joomla Extension directory. It was written for those who want flexibility and simplicity in a component to create and display multimedia for their church ministry. Multiple options, widespread media compatibility, a variety of coded templates and custom template builders make preachit an ideal component for any website.

Now complete with a backup/import function and automatic migration from Sermon Speaker and Joomla Bible Study records, setting up Preachit hasn't been easier.

This extension made my site. I am using it for a little different purpose than a church website but it still works very well for me. I have now used it on several sites. Tech support is better than expected. The extension is free but the support is now subscription based but is well worth it. Tech support was so good, I even paid him to do some side work for me.
Thank you for the great extension!

I love Preachit. I have used it on an older version of Joomla and when I updated to version 2.5 and updated Preachit I can no longer upload my sermon files because they are too large. Wish there was a way to upload something more than 10MB. What audio or video file is less than 10MB anyway.

Hi,

The upload limit is set by your server environment and your Joomla install and has nothing to do with the Preachit component. If you would like help in increasing this limit we would be more than willing to help through the support structures offered on our site.

If I could give this component a higher rating I would. I tried another component and was frustrated to no end for several months. It is feature rich! There are even options that I would never have thought of that I am now using. I do hope that you keep this one in development. It's a treasure for those of us who need it...

PreachIt is very customizable! This is the most valuable Joomla extension for our web site. I used to have to use three different applications and spend over 20 minutes of time to accomplish what PreachIt does for me in a 5 minute posting of a new message. I appreciate Paul and his contribution to the Kingdom!

I've been using SermonSpeaker for the better part of a year now, and beating my computer screen in frustration since the beginning of that ordeal.

I was a little wary downloading/installing this one, but my fears were groundless. This extension is FABULOUS!! You can tell when a developer puts excellence into their extension -- it shows up in all the little areas to me. Simple things like the spacing, the fonts, the "look and feel"... everything is just ready to go right out the box.

THANK YOU for such a wonderful extension!!

This extension is very well written. It's powerful and flexible and yet easy to use.

I had a particular question about the possible use of Preachit, asked my question on the forum and received help very quickly, providing a good solution to my problem.

Well done, and thanks very much for providing this for others to use.

Well done, and thanks for making it freely available.

I really like this program but it has a bug that make things difficult if you are not careful. I have a joomla site that is not installed in the root directory of the website.

For example my website is installed in /new/ folder on the website.

I have placed Audio files in the /new/audio/ Directory.

When you set up your folders in folder's settings it asked you for the name of the folders. You have to put /new/audio/ in the folder name place for the component to play the audio files on the front end.

If at some point you decide to upload a new file using the component's back end it will recreate a folder called /new/new/audio and place it in that folder. The file will then not play on the front end. In order to make it play you would have to change the folder setting to /new/new/audio.

If your site is in the root directory this does not apply to you because both the upload and the folder setting would be set at /audio/ instead.

Overall I really like this module and our site it planning to be moved to the root directory in the future so it will work fine.

I tried to report this to the company but the support like on this site did not work. I am hoping they check these reviews and can fix this in future versions and I thought I would warn the people with permanent sites NOT in the root directory.

Hi risenfenix,

Thanks for pointing out the broken link. I have fixed the info so the support link works.

Re. the issue with the upload. This is because you have the wrong entries in the folders form. The first box (Title - Server) should be the url of your site ie. www.mysite.com/new. The second box (Title - folder) should be the folder path after the url ie. audio. If you change that you should find everything will work okay.

This is a great extension for posting your media. We currently use this to post our sermons and worship music. I know I'm only using a very small protion of it's capabilities but it is exactly what we need.

Also we had an issue with a template and I posted the problem. In less than 12 hours (we have a large time difference) a fix was posted! Great support!

Thanks and God Bless,
Jeff

I have been searching for so long for the perfect sermon player solution. I think I have finally found it. This is way better than SermonSpeaker. This has all the features I was looking for. Ability to play Vimeo videos. Ability to share on Facebook and Twitter. You can add your own logo. You are able to have popup players.

Support is fast. I will definitely be making a donation soon for further development. Everyone check this extension out for yourself and consider donating. You did an excellent job with this Paul. God bless you sir.
