What is the Frontend Upload Wizard?
The Frontend Upload Wizard allows you to upload a new sermon without logging into the backend. It will let you upload the file, set the needed informations (speaker, series, notes, ...) and then save the entry to the database. The informations are prefilled with the info found in ID3 tags. So if your sermonfile has title (-> sermon title), track (-> sermon number), artist (-> speaker) and album (-> series) stored in the file, creating a new sermon will be even easier.
How to set up the Frontend Upload Wizard
Setting up the Frontend Upload Wizard is actually quite easy.
- Enable the Frontend Upload in the SermonSpeaker options
- Allow the 'Create' action for the needed usergroup
- Create a menu entry for the Frontend Upload or use the direct link http://www.yourpage.net/index.php?option=com_sermonspeaker&view=frontendupload
- Logged in users of the allowed usergroups are now able to upload a sermon
If your page doesn't offer a way for the user to login, you have to let them login by appending &username=xxx&password=yyy to the URL for the Frontend Uploader or use http://www.yourpage.net/index.php?option=com_user&view=login.
