Presenting single video files
Higher end packages come with the additional bonus of a video player plugin. Embedding the video player and presenting video material is a two-step process...
Step 1 - Adding video (flv) files
- Click the 'Insert/Edit Link' icon on the toolbar
- On the 1st tab, click the 'Browse Server' button
- In the 'Resource Type' dropdown list in the top left, select 'Media'
- Select the subdirectory 'flv' - if it doesn't exist, create it
- Click the 'Browse' button to locate the video (flv) file on your computer
- Click the 'Upload' button to transfer the file
- Close the edit window - you do NOT want to actually make a link
Alternatively, you can
FTP your video files into the correct directory:
swisscmsroot/content/Media/flv
Step 2 - Inserting the video player
- Click the 'Insert/Edit Flash' icon on the toolbar
- Click the 'Browse Server' button
- Select the 'scms_video.swf' file
- After '.swf' in the URL field, type '?videofile=/content/flv/example.flv'
The full
URL field should now read:
/content/Flash/scms_video.swf?videofile=/content/Media/flv/example.flv
- Enter the width and height - the default is 320px x 240px
- Click 'OK' to insert the Flash object
The final result is show below:
