Summary

The Soundslides module allows the users to upload the soundslides project via media browser(provided by media module) in the form of a zip file and provides media formatters to render them.

Configuration

  • Install Soundslides module (and the dependencies).
  • Select where the soundslides project should be extracted. Goto admin/config/media/file-system and click Save Configuration.
  • Verify whether a new file type SoundSlides have been created. Click manage file display or visit admin/config/media/file-types/manage/soundslides/file-display and configure the filter.
  • Download and enable WYSIWYG module.
  • Install any WYSIWYG library and install it as per the installation instructions at admin/config/content/wysiwyg.
  • Select the Editor for the profile. I have installed CKEditor by following the installation instructions as mentioned in the step above.
  • After selection of the editor. Click on the edit button as shown in the screenshot.

    Or go to admin/config/content/wysiwyg/profile/full_html/edit
  • Under Buttons and Plugins select media browser. Save
  • Now add any content (e.g. node/add/article) and select the text format for which you have configured the editor.
  • Click on the media button which in the editor:
  • This will open the media browser. Select Soundslides. Upload the zip archive of the publish_to_web directory that was exported from the Soundslides application.
  • Save the page. You should now see the Soundslides slideshow embedded in the content.

Note:

The current version of the module supports the slideshows which are exported with iOS_html5 shell. Please see the screenshot below to find out how to export the slideshow with iOS_html5 shell.

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

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.
