DEPENDENCIES:
Elgg 1.6
CURL libraries for PHP needed!!!
INSTALL:
0. Please be sure that you have Elgg installed in a site with CURL
libraries for PHP
1. Copy the directory kaltura_video/ and all his files to the
plugins folder in elgg_path/mod/
2. Activate the plugin in tools administration
3. Configure the plugin by clicking in
"Tools administration" -> kaltura_video -> [Settings]
IMPORTANT: You need be a partner of kaltura.com site in order to
use this plugin.
From version 1.0 this plugin has an integraded form to register
to Kaltura.
Do it in "Tools administration" -> kaltura_video -> [Settings]
UPGRADING FROM OLDER VERSIONS:
1. Completly remove the old kaltura_video/ directory in the
plugin's folder (mod/) and put the new one instead
2. Run the "Recreate all video objects" as administrador if your
older version is lower than 1.0
3. That's all, enjoy it!
TINYMCE INTEGRATION
This plugin can be integrated into TinyMCE rich text editor. To do
that, simply go to "Tools administration" -> Kaltura_video Settings
and choose "Try to integrate into tinyMCE".
However there are a lot versions of this plugin and the integration
method is far away from perfection.
So, if something is broken after activating the integration,
deactivate it and report me this issue!
ADVANCED IMPORT VIDEOS FROM KALTURA
From version 1.0 you can easyly import videos created outside Elgg
in Kaltura (for example with the drupal or wordpress plugin).
To do that, go to Kaltura's CMS:
http://www.kaltura.com/index.php/kmc
Login in, edit the "Video Mix" videos (you can only import this kind
of videos). Put the "Admin Tags" property with the value of
"elgg_plugin" followed by the username in Elgg you want to assign
the video.
EX:
If you want to import a video from Kaltura's CMS to the user "foo"
("foo" is the username, not the name of the user) edit the details
of the video in Kaltura's CMS and let the Admin tags like this:
elgg_plugin foo
Then go to your Elgg installation and run "Recreate objects" logged
intoo and admin account.
ADVANCED CONFIGURATION & KALTURA CE SERVER
You can change the servers and the flash widgets used in the plugin
by editing the file:
kaltura_video/kaltura/api_client/definitions.php
This is not well tested, but you can try your own player widgets
or editors.
Please provide some feedback to me if you do that! Thanks.
