35 - An Alternate Staff Directory Using the ExpressionEngine Member Management Module
In the last post I outlined the advantages and disadvantages of building a church Staff Directory using either ExpressionEngine‘s built in Member Management Module or another weblog. While I chose the weblog approach for my sample site, I thought I would build out an alternate version using the Member Management Approach in case that would also be valuable.
34 - Building a Church Staff Directory in ExpressionEngine
In this chapter I develop the Staff Directory section of the prototype ExpressionEngine-based church site, using the existing Ministries section as a starting point.
33 - Pulling Audio Messages to Worship Services
This chapter ties up a loose end on with the site’s implementation of audio messages. I want the Worship section to display, for each worship event, the last few messages that were recorded at it. I’ve already created the relationship field in the audio-messages field group, now I can use ExpressionEngine’s reverse related entries tag to display them.
32 - Integrating Hipcast & ExpressionEngine to Deliver Church Audio Messages
In earlier posts I’ve covered how to build a church podcast / audio messages section using all native ExpressionEngine functionality. In this post I’ll cover how to provide similar functionality on the EE, but outsourcing the hosting and delivery of the audio files to a 3rd party Application Service Provider (ASP) specifically Hipcast. The bridge between ExpressionEngine and Hipcast is EE’s Metaweblog API Module which, once configured, will allow Hipcast to post programmatically into EE.
31 - Implementing a Podcast Feed in ExpressionEngine
The final step in the all-native-EE podcast implementation is getting the actual podcast feed template in place. In this chapter I’ll do that - and also implement the autorecognition code so that smart browsers like Firefox will indicate the availability of a feed.
