Introduction¶
What does it do?¶
- Manager for sermons and other types of content, with related audiofiles for church websites.
- Shows a listview of all the content records with sorting on each column.
- Shows a singleview of a particular record. If there is an audiofile available for that record (mp3 format), then the audioplayer of WEC_FlashPlayer is used to play the audiofile on the page.
- To see the Sermon Manager in action, go to www.bigapplechapel.org and click on Sermons.
Users manual¶
Users viewing or listinging to sermons only have to click on links, nothing special.
The Sermon Manager adds two new record types, Sermons (or Bible Study outlines or Lectures or other text elements) and Topics. Each sermon needs to have a topic, so enter the topic records first. Each topic has a parent topic, which enables you to build up a tree of topics. In the listview, the topic and the parent topic are shown. If you select a topic for a sermon that does not have a parent, it won't get displayed, so a root-topic should always be entered first.
You also have to select an author for the Sermon, which has to be a Front-End user.
If there is an audiofile available for the sermon, upload that file first to a fileadmin folder and then link to that file from the Sermon record.
Linking to individual sermons¶
If you want to make a link to a particular record, use the following in the External URL box:
http://path_to_page_with_plugin/?tx_kcsermonmgr_pi1[showUid]=xx (when using realURL)
http://path_to_page_with_plugin/&tx_kcsermonmgr_pi1[showUid]=xx (when not using realURL, difference is & instead of ?)
where xx is the uid of the record you want to link to.
FAQ¶
None available so far.
Adminstration¶
Nothing special. Sermon records are treated similar to other content elements.
Configuration¶
Simply add the extension using the Extension Manager. The extension depends on the extensions wec_flashplayer,sr_feuser_register so these need to be installed first. User is promted to install these during installation.
It is recommended to use htmlArea RTE with RTE.default.enableWordClean = 1 (TS) if people are pasting a lot of Sermon content from MS Word.
Add the Sermon Manager plugin to the page where you want it displayed. Use the flexform to confgure the plugin. It has the following options:

Here you would show an example of the stuff from the reference or so:

parentid = 7
templateFile = FILE
templateFile.file = fileadmin/templates/sermon_template.html
}
plugin.tx_kcsermonmgr_pi1.audio{
autoplay = 0
width = 300
height = 50
bgcolor = #BBE0E3
}
Tutorial¶
Known problems¶
- Sermons are not displayed when there is no author or topic selected nor when the topic does not have a parent topic.
- The last name of the author is shown in the listview, so if your FE Users do not have the Last Name filled in, you won't see the author. The last_name DB field in the fe_users table comes from the sr_feuser_register extension.
- Audiofiles of sermons can be quite large (>10 Mb) which is larger then the standard allowable file upload size of Typo3. Either use FTP to upload the audiofiles to a fileadmin folder, or modify your Typo3 configuration.
- Dates in the listview show one day earlier then their actual value in the record.
To-Do list¶
- Make the example CSS load automatically.
- Fix the date bug.
- Make the text in the player language customizable.
- Change content into mediumtext data type
