Hi,

I have installed smartmedia on XOOPS version 2.0.13.1, and just can not find how to upload media files...

Made categories, folders withing the categories, and "clips" within the folders - but where do I upload my clips from..?

I am probably missing something very obvious, but it keeps slipping away..

Thanks for any suggestions.

Best regards,

Aharon

Hi,

SmartMedia does not currently allow you to upload media through the module, except for images reprenting categories, folders or clip. The actual videos must be uploaded whereever you want. The clip's fields high res url, and low res urls allow you to put the URL of the file you want to display.

Is it clearer ?

Cheers!

If you need to upload through a module rather than FTP try using wf-downloads. Media files tend to be big so best to check with your host to make sure your server can take web uploads of large files. Mine (ipower) has a limit of 2megs so I have to ftp anyway, but if the limit for yours is higher then wf-downloads will work to post files. Then follow advice of marcan and use the URL of your media file from wf-downloads and link it to your category/file in smartmedia. I use a photo gallery like this to handle all of the image content on my website, it makes it easier to have the server handle the images when you have a large number of people contributing content.

helpful, but I hope the next version of smartmedia allows user uploads. . .
