    Hi,

    I am currently working on a website where the users need to be able to upload screencasts / camtasia videos for users to view, however Camtasia creates 10 files per video for the screencast i.e.


    FlashTemplate.css
    phy11.html
    phy11.js
    phy11.swf
    phy11_config.xml
    phy11_controller.swf
    phy11_nofp_bg.gif
    phy11_preload.swf
    ProductionInfo.xml
    swfobject.js

    What I require is an easy way for users to add new videos to the site, any suggestions would be much appreciated in the mean time I am going to try out some thoughts on it undecided

    Thanks Aaron

      After a few hours of hacking the files I have not yet found an easy way to do this.

      What i have done though is created a new TV called Screencast (Type = File).

      The user then


      • Uploads screencast folder to /assets/files/screencasts/videoname/
      • Creates a new page in MODx selecting template screencast
      • Clicks the File button TV and browses to the newly uploaded screencast folder/html file
      • Saves the page

      Now when a user visits the page the template uses IFRAMES and calls the file / Url, its not my favourite method but seems to work quite well, also I was thinking and have seen from this client’s screencasts they are rather large so uploading via FTP is a must have.
