About the Podcast Profile


Manage your podcasting with ProcessWire! The Podcast Profile is a fully featured iTunes podcast publishing platform built using nothing more than ProcessWire's basic fields/templates/pages system. Automatically generates an XML feed for submission to iTunes. Fully implements the iTunes podcasting specification (https://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html) and supports managing an unlimited number of podcasts and episodes from the same installation. Accommodates both on-site and off-site file hosting.

Instructions


  1. Upload a fresh copy of ProcessWire to your server.

  2. Extract the PodcastProfile-master folder from the zip file to the root directory of the new installation.

  3. Rename the folder to site-PodcastProfile <- IMPORTANT!

  4. Install ProcessWire as usual. When asked to select a site profile, choose "Podcast Profile".

  5. Once installed, you can add a new Podcast via the "Add New" menu in the upper right portion of the admin panel.

  6. Fill out the podcast details and then begin adding episodes under the podcast page, or via the "Add New" menu.

  7. The XML file for each podcast is generated at http://www.yoursite.com/podcast-name/ (The url of the podcast page)

  8. Use this URL to submit the podcast to iTunes at https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/publishPodcast

Install and use modules at your own risk. Always have a site and database backup before installing new modules.

“The end client and designer love the ease at which they can update the website. Training beyond how to log in wasn’t even necessary since ProcessWire’s default interface is straightforward.” —Jonathan Lahijani
