Sermonspeaker Component Mod
PROJECT OVERVIEW
I need a custom modification to the popular Joomla component for churches called SermonSpeaker. The component allows churches to manage a podcast of sermons.
Currently, a user must upload the MP3 files and associated Powerpoint or PDF attachments via FTP. I would like a simple “Browse” functionality added to both the MP3 upload section and file attachment section of the sermon creation screen on the backend.
The goal is to allow non-technical users who have no idea what FTP is to be able to manage the MP3 files and attachments.
My intention is to pay for this work and donate the code back to the SermonSpeaker project if the author of SermonSpeaker would like to use it. Put the proper credits in your code comments, and if it’s used in future releases, you’ll get credit for it.
PROJECT DETAILS
1. I would like a “Browse” button inserted to upload an MP3 file to the server. Then it can be selected in the path pulldown menu easily without having to upload it by FTP first.
2. The “Additional File Path” is a place to link a file such as a PDF or Powerpoint slideshow file. I would like a “Browse” button inserted to upload such files to the server in the “/files/” subfolder of the media folder within the SermonSpeaker component. Functionality should be almost identical to MP3 Path section above:
(1) The user clicks “Browse” to select an MP3 file from their own computer. The component uploads it and makes it available in the MP3 Path dropdown menu.
(2) The user selects the uploaded MP3 file in the dropdown menu.
(3) The user clicks “Browse” to select an optional Powerpoint or PDF file attachment that goes with the sermon. The component uploads it and makes it available in a new “Attachment Path” dropdown menu similar to the “MP3 Path” menu above.
(4) The user the selects the uploaded file in the dropdown menu.
3. It’s important that we retain the ability, as it is currently designed, to link offsite to a full path in the event file attachments or MP3 files are hosted off-site.
