News module and audio

[midway31]

TinyMCE strips this code and need a solution as to how to use it in the news module for audio. Any suggestions please?

Code: Select all

<audio id="player2" src="uploads/media/audio/mp3name.mp3" type="audio/mp3" controls="controls">		
</audio>

Use a GCB or a tag like http://www.cmscanbesimple.org/blog/mp3-made-simple

Thanks for that but coding is not my forte and I need the html audio tag so it plays in all browsers especially mobile and i beleive flash will not work on ipad iphone etc

You still can use a Global Content Block...

Ohw wait... Try https://www.cmscanbesimple.org/blog/fle ... wyg-editor Is written for CGBlog but with small parameter change will also work for News module

Uhm, looks like the Google Player (and so my UDT) isn't working anymore... bummer

I forgot to mention that i have 4 news catagories eg
1 media releases
2 video
3 audio
4 speeches and opinions

The audio is a twice weekly news item so needs to be easy for client or myself to enter. So i think a GCB is a bit messy

If I'm not wrong there are a few ways to tackle this (besides what Rolf suggested):

1. If you use only need one audio file which can be fixed on the detail template:
   1. create a new News Field Definition
   2. on your detail template just call it:

      Code: Select all

      <audio id="player2" src="{$entry->fields.foo->value}" type="audio/mp3" controls="controls">        
      </audio> 

2. If you use a GCB:
   1. Create a new GCB named Player;
   2. Use something like this:

      Code: Select all

      <audio id="player2" src="{$gcb_params.src}" type="audio/mp3" controls="controls">
      </audio> 

   3. Call it like this from any template:

      Code: Select all

      {global content name='Player'  src='uploads/media/audio/mp3name.mp3'} 

3. And you can use an UDT:
   1. Create a new one called Audio_Player

   2. Code: Select all

      echo '<audio id="player2" src=" ' . $params['src'] . '" type="audio/mp3" controls="controls"';

   3. Call it:

      Code: Select all

      {Audio_Player src='uploads/media/audio/mp3name.mp3'}

I didn't test any of these but these should work with a few tweaks.
HTH.

PS: Rolf may find the GCB option familiar... something Calguy1000 once suggested...

Ok thanks for that. The UDT worked. But if someone could suggest a tweak to the call in article for client who is not savvy instead of this having to be entered in summary and content by simply browsing to file and entering the url like inserting a link

Code: Select all

{Audio_Player src='uploads/media/audio/mp3name.mp3'}
