podcast plugin

Post by fredrik »

I downloaded the podcast plugin...and actually I don´t understand the usage at all. Am I supposed to upload mp3-files to the media-library and just attach them into new entry´s...and then..?
I know there are things funnier than documentation but the plugin-list for serendipity really need som explanations, as a requirement for a plugin to be added.

In the plugin configuration section the plugin does give basic instructions.

You need to insert special \[podcast] tags into your entry, or you can choose to use usual <a href=...> tagging. Then all linked mp3s in your entry will get "podcasted".

If you can propose a better sounding or enhance ddocumentation for this, I'm sure the author of the plugin has an open ear to that. :-)

thanks...
I didn´t mean to sound that boring...i really appreciate all the devolopers work...
The "plugin configuration" section? Are you referring to: http://www.s9y.org/45.html ? The only documentation I find about this (& the most other) plugins is in the comments to the code. The navigation logic isn´t that obvious at s9y.org. E.g why not just a simple link on the top of http://www.s9y.org/29.html to the above link. Just a suggestion.

Just a small remark - otherwise, thanks for a great piece of software!

I didn't mean to sound rude or so as well, don't take my statement as an offense. I am happy you feedback on the Serendipity project!

In fact what I meant is the section when you go to your Admin Panel, go to Plugin Configuration and click on the podcast plugin. Then you get to the plugin configuration section of that podcast plugin and hould see some detailed usage information there.

About our wiki, we are still trying to migrate to MediaWiki (wiki.s9y.org), but it's still work in progress and it doesn't yet do everything we want it to do. I'll hope we can improve the doc section in the future.

Thanks and regards,
Garvin
