Podcasting
The main tool I used for pod-casting is 1Pixelout Audio Player
You can find it here and download for a small donation, $3.00. Well worth it!
If you have a site with us we may have already installed it.
- Once installed this extension needed to be activated,
- under the menu item Extensions >> Plugin Manager >> Click to enable Content - 1Pixelout Audio Player
I generally create a folder in my Joomla Website called MP3 and use Firefox and FireFTP to upload my MP3 podcasts.
Download Firefox from HERE
Download FireFTP from HERE
Setup FireFTP to login to your website:
- The Account Name can be anything you like
- The Host must be the FQDN for your site i.e. www.mysite.co.nz
- Login is as I have provided to your previously
- Password is as I have provided to your previously
- Click on OK
Now connect.
You will get a listing of your web account. You are interested in the directory called public_html.
Go into this directory and make a new directory called mp3
- Once inside public_html right click anywhere in side the right hand panel.
- Click on the Menu item "Create Directory"
- Name this mp3
- Save
- Go inside this Directory
- In the left hand panel navigate to where your mps files are
- Select the files you want to upload
- Click the green right point button to upload
Once you have uploaded the pod-casts we need to create or edit an article that holds the pod-casts.
Examples of use:
Start with the first example and once you have that working try something more interesting.
