    • Aw: podcasts/audio blogs?

    Posted by Bernhard posts: 104

    It might well be, that the necessary RSS XML code is not (yet) supported by TikiWiki to have a full-fledged integration.

    I'd go for Podcast Maker instead on the Mac, which is a great drag&drop tool which let's you easily create everything you ever wanted for Video or Audio-Podcasting. It will automatically upload your data to any kind of server and produce the necessary xml files.

    All that's left to do for tikiwiki is create a wiki-page which has a reference to your podcast.xml file. I don't really see a big value in integrating audio/video support in a CMS like system anyway.

    Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, though I use a Mac, many of our faculty use PCs, so this isn't an option for them.

    I'm surprised you should think so. CMS="Content Management System," and audio and video are certainly forms of content. We use Tiki to manage our media server at our university, and faculty want to make audio and video files available to students for pedagogical purposes. I know there are other Tiki users interested in learning applications (e.g. the LMS group). Tiki already supports blogs and RSS feeds, and audio and video blogging (podcast and vodcast) are becoming very popular. This seems to me like a very valuable addition to Tiki.

    I guess I'll just have to learn PHP and adapt the existing RSS generation myself.
