Designed For 'COOKIES' Will Not Work With 'SESSIONS'

Three complete systems in one. Music Studio for uploading music files. Uses modified embedded Windows Media Player. Video Studio for uploading videos (You need to change your php INI settings to allow larger file uploads if desired. At least 40Meg recommended.); three embedded video/media players. One for AVI files, one for FLV files and the other one for all other formats. Photo Studio for uploading photos. Image zoom using Colorbox. Paging and navigation in all three systems using Fusions built-in paging functions. Fusions group access, comment and rating system for all three studios. A nice center panel which displays 5 each random photos, videos and music files. New feature added to Admin Settings to control uploads allowed per user per studio.


FEATURES:
  • New feature added: Copyright Infringement and Inappropriate Content reporting by users to administrator.


  • New feature added: Sub-albums are indented and displayed 'after' their respective main album. This was very difficult to figure out but I finally suceeded in accomplishing it.


  • New feature added: The admin has total control on number of uploads allowed per user in each studio.


  • Designed for "cookies" in 'Admin/Settings/Registration' settings. Will not work with "sessions" enabled.


    1. According to latest info from the DEV site, sessions will likely be removed in PHP-Fusion ver7.02


  • Player code for the playback of AVI files is included. Just be aware of
    the limitations of AVI files. You may want to consider getting a free media converter and convert them to other formats before upload.


    1. AVI files are usually very large.


    2. No buffering. Playback will not begin until entire file is downloaded by player.


    3. If you have RealPlayer on
      your PC the IE browser
      plug-ins for it must be disabled.


    4. AVI files will not play in browsers other than IE. (if you know how PM me!)


  • Includes Photo Gallery Style (modified) Music Studio with modified embedded Windows
    Media Player.

    then paste the link on the 'social' site.


  • All 'script functions' combined in one file in the infusions include folder called: 'functions_include.php'


  • A very nice center panel which displays 5 each random photos, videos and music files.

INSTALLATION:
  • Unzip the archieve to a local directory on your computer. In your favorite editor open the file 'multimedia_studio/multimedia_studio.php' and comment/uncomment lines marked to obtain an image OR text header as desired. Font color of text header is set in 'include/studio_style.css' with the 'studio_hdr' class.


  • Upload everything under the 'php-files' folder to your 'root' folder and 'infuse' through your admin panel as usual.


  • Only an "English" locale file is available at the moment.


    • Next Steps:

  • Go to "System Admin/Site Links" and move the newly created link up to the desired position.


  • Go to "System Admin/Panels" and add 'multimedia_studio_panel'. Set it to:
    'public access' as an 'UPR CTR' panel and place as desired.


  • Go to "System Admin/Infusions". Click the 'Multimedia Studio' link. Then click the 'Main Settings' link where you may change the max text allowed from the default of 500 characters in each studio, to settings of your choice.

    Then adjust the maximun file uploads allowed per user, per studio from the defaults of ten(10) files per user. Save settings and you're done.


  • Proceed now at your convenience, to create albums and sub-albums keeping in mind that a sub-album cannot have another sub-album (only 2 levels deep). However; each album can have unlimited sub-albums.


  • That's it ! You're done with the installation.


CORE FILE MODIFICATIONS:
  • File modifications: None.


CONFIGURATION & USAGE:
  • Adding & Editing Albums and Sub-Albums:

    • The first thing you should do (IF NOT ALREADY DONE) is go to 'Infusions - Multimedia Studio' click on
      'Main Settings' and change the description text amount allowed from the default of 500 characters
      to what is desired. You may also change the max file uploads allowed per user from the defaults of
      ten(10) files for each studio.


    • This infusion is designed for 2 levels of albums only. A sub-album CANNOT have another sub-album.


    • However each main album can have unlimited sub-albums.


    • When creating or editing a sub-album be sure to select the "main album" under which it falls.


    • I have included nice album and sub-album images for your usage if desired.


    • You may change these images or not use any at all. Just a matter of choice and editing albums and sub-albums.


    • The only way to accomplish good eye appeal using album & sub-album images, is if all images are the same physical size.


    • User editing of their posts does not include changing images that may be included in the upload.


    • In order for a user to change post images the record must be deleted and re-entered.
