I downloaded the VidStream module, activated it, but in the admin menu, I can't go anything with it. The VidStream module icon has two options, "VidStreams," and "Categories." I see no options to add videos or categories. Is this done somewhere else? The Config.php file doesn't have any options related to this, and there is no documentation with the archive. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

I'm running PN .750 if that helps. I tried .760 and had mucho problems so I'll stick with 750.

First of all you add one (or more) category; then you go to VidStreams, create a section and add a video to that section.
Consider that the module is directly derived from Subjects 1.4, so it could be equally vulnerable!

Well, thats the problem. I can't add a category. Like I mentioned, in the vidstream admin menu, it has the vidstreams, and categories options, and neither will let me do anything when I view them. It lists empty categories and videos, with no "new" or "add" options or anything.

Wow. I fingered it out....enable support for legacy modules. I didn't have that enabled. Now I have add category power! :)

I noticed a few people asking about the javascript links for the video popups.
Those were left in accidentally and I have removed them from the zip file. The only file that changed was the index.php file
Line 408 and 409 need to be changed if you do not redownload the module to remove the javascript code before the URL.
Optionally just download the zip again, and replace the index.php file

Sorry about the lack of documentation. The coder that 'built' this module for me did not provide any either, and I had to kinda figure it out on my own.
Basically you start by adding a category and then you have the ability to add video's to the category.

This module is nowhere near as powerfull as I had hoped it would be, which is why I posted it here. I'm really hoping that someone who has the ability will pick this module up and finish it off. It's more than decent enough for a site with a few video's, but without pagination added, it's hard to use for sites with a lot of video's as they all load on the same page.

So far no one has offered to finish it off, which is sad as there have been almost 200 downloads already. I've just got my fingers crossed that someone will get excited enough to finish it.

does VidStream work with PN 7.6? If not, where can I find a version of 7.5?

Thanks lelchuck.
I tried eolica's method step by step, but I couldn't figure it out. I also enabled legacy modules. I added a category called Videos, then went to Vidstreams, but I saw no place to create a section to add a video.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, since my site is built around videos.

Edit:
this is what my screen looks like BTW:
Vidstreams Admin:

Vidstreams Categories:
http://putfile.com/p…5514523552.gif&s=x1

I've tested only under PN .726.

But your theme is broken (VidStreams and Categories should appear just below VidStream Admin)?
Have you tried to test with a standard theme?

I'm using Openstar.. which i believe is running under postnuke .750. That was the default theme that came with it for me. Would you mind sending me a copy of .726, because that's what seems to work.

Yo can get a copy of .726 from warp-speed.de (you need to register):

http://warpspeed.4thdimension.de/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=getit&lid=4117

Generally I've found that site to be an invaluable resource when specific releases are needed (they mantain an huge archive)

Thanks much for the link eolica, I also grabbed a copy of .750, to see which i preferred.. since both are supposed to be able to run vidstream.
Now. My screen still looks similar in .750 and .726 as it did in .760
screen shots of .750:

http://www.milkcarto…am/vidstream750.GIF

screenshots of .726:
http://www.milkcarto…ml/vidstream726.GIF
http://www.milkcarto…l/vidstream7262.GIF

I added support for legacy modules in .750. There was no option for adding support for legacy modules in .726. So i'm still trying to find out what I need to do. Am i missing an option?

Have you added the tables to the database? Module initialization doesn't do it. You must create them through phpMyAdmin with vidstream.sql !

thanks much eolica. I thought it was adding it by itself.

edit:
err.. ok, i put a video/image in the modules/pages area, went to see if the video worked, but it decides to error out when clicking on the link
The error is:

Quote
The requested URL /hmm2/PostNuke-0.750/html/('modules/VidStream/pages/weightss.wmv') was not found on this server.

At first i was wondering if maybe it was because in the coding it says ('location') around the location of the video/images. I went into the coding and took out the (' '). Then it just came up with the _PAGECONTENT information that I filled in. No video area, just a Blank Page with "Joe Lifts Weights x 2- Test."

Now.. when filling out the information, I wasn't too sure on what to put in the fields: "_PAGEFILE" and "Logo".

I plan to have my videos all set at 200k, since it gives much more pleasable video, and I don't plan on having any 56k videos. I decided to fill in both VidStream 1 URL and VidStream 2 URL with the same video with the link: modules/VidStream/pages/weightss.wmv

Is that correct? Or should I have done something more like a URL? EX:Http://www.milkcartomafia/modules/VidStream/pages/weightss.wmv

I think that about covers it. Maybe a screen shot of your setup for one video could really help me? I'm more of a visible person I guess. Just in case you dont know how To take screen shots, press Print Scrn on the keyboard and ctrl+v in MS Paint.

This is greatly appreciated by me.

Restore the index.php that came with the module (file should be 74673 bytes dated 04/09/05 h.12:32)

replace lines 408-409 with the following:

Code
echo "<td colspan=\"2\" align=\"left\">Windows Media Player <a title=\"Streaming Video\" href=\"$vidstream0\" style=\"text-decoration: none\">[ 56k ]</a>";
echo " <a title=\"Streaming Video\" href=\"$vidstream1\" style=\"text-decoration: none\">[ 100k ]</a></td>";

If you want only a single version you can remove the the second echo statement (remember to close the td in the first one)

Calling your video with modules/VidStream/pages/weightss.wmv is correct.

Look for every occurrence of &nbsp and change it to

In admin.php there are a lot of _PAGE... that need to be changed to _VIDSTREAM... in order to get the correct wording
If I find some time I'll pack my corrected version and share

Hope it helps.

Ah, yes, I know how to make a screenshot :D
