Need a little more detail
Hi,
Is it possible to get a little more detail for someone who is new to this? I'm able to create a slideshow in Soundslides and export it as directed. I added the Soundslides module to my Drupal 7 site, went to admin/config/media/file-system - the Soundslides projects' extration path had defaulted to public://soundslides_projects and I saved configuration. But I'm lost as to exactly how I create a new file type (should it be .zip?) and how to configure it.
Thanks, Pat

Problems with the editor
Thanks. I was able to figure it out with the additional instructions. The problem now is when I enable the Soundslides module, the WYSIWYG editor disappears when I add a new node. There's just a block for the body text. I'm using a workaround for now - using iframe but not sure why this problem occurs with the editor.
