Plugins & Hacks

I want to podcast with Nucleus. How can I do that?

First of all, you need the latest version of the podcasting plugin for Nucleus. You can find it here on the Nucleus wiki with some instructions, but here full details will be provided.

1. Copy the plugin code.
2. Save the code as NP_Podcast.php
3. Upload that to yoursite.com/nucleus/plugins/ and install it from the admin area.
4. Go to the 'Global Settings' in Nucleus, and under 'Allow File Types for Upload' add mp3 if it's not already there.
5. Then go to 'Templates' and add <%Podcast%> to the feed/rss20 template, just before </item>. A code example:
   

   <item>
    <title><![CDATA[<%title%>]]></title>
   <link><%blogurl%>index.php?itemid=<%itemid%></link>
   <description><![CDATA[<%body%><%more%>]]></description>
    <category><%category%></category>
   <comments><%blogurl%>index.php?itemid=<%itemid%></comments>
    <pubDate><%date(rfc822)%></pubDate>
   <%Podcast%>
    
   </item>

6. Now just add a mp3 to a blog post, just the way you add images. Update: from version 0.3 the Podcast plugin supports remote hosting of podcast mp3-files. Just insert the podcast like this:
   

   <%Podcast(http://somewhere.com/mypodcasting.mp3|the podcast mp3 somewhere else)%>  
    

Now the only thing you need to do is point your visitors to your RSS 2.0 feed, which is located at yoursite.com/xml-rss2.php

Enjoy your podcasting!
