Add Slideshare Integration into the Media section

Reported by: geoffd Owned by: thinkswan

Description

Let's allow people to embed Slideshare presentations into the Media section.

This will also allow people to upload slides that are synced up with sound as explained here:
 http://www.slideshare.net/msincome/adding-audio-to-slideshare

Presentations should probably become a major type of file in the media section

This should be done as part of how we are now handling embed codes. Just wanted to let you check it off as part of 1.5.

Well, we haven't made slideshare any more exciting than it was in 1.4, not yet. We could hit that or it could get hit later in a plugin and I could take credit for having made that possible

Tom, after you give Slideshare first class treatment on embed and add this to the Services and Search we can close this.

Hey Matt, Geoff and I thought this might be a good place for you to jump in with an Apostrophe contribution.

You can already paste a Slideshare embed code in Apostrophe 1.5's "embed" box when adding media. What we're looking to do here is make it a first-class citizen like Youtube or Vimeo, so you can search them, get a thumbnail, link accounts so slide presentations are automatically swept into the system, etc.

I briefly documented how to do this at the end of this page:

 http://trac.apostrophenow.org/wiki/ManualDevelopersGuide

Basically you make a new subclass of aEmbedService and implement the same methods that you can see are already implemented for the Youtube and Vimeo subclasses. Then you tweak app.yml to tell your site about it and you should be golden.

(I have no idea what the Slideshare API is like yet, but that's what you'll be talking to in your subclass.)

Holler if you have any questions.

SlideShare? support is almost complete. A few bugs left to iron out and then it should be good.

We should remember to get in touch with the SlideShare? team upon closing this ticket so they can showcase Apostrophe in their dev section for us. Free publicity!

Changed 13 months ago by tboutell

Absolutely... we should probably do it on launch so that people can actually demo it without installing Apostrophe though... get maximum bounce from the news

  • status changed from assigned to closed
  • resolution set to fixed

SlideShare? support is now cached.
