- Login to your Joomla admin
- Select "Yendif Video Share" from the "Components" menu. You should see several submenus related to the component as listed below,
- Control Panel – Component dashboard which gives an overview of the last added videos, categories, etc...
- Categories – Menu in which we create categories
- Videos – Menu in which we upload and manage our videos
- Approval Queue – Menu in which the user uploaded videos wait for admin approval when 'Auto Approval' is disabled
- Advertisements – Menu in which we manage the user uploaded advertisement for videos
- Ratings – Menu in which the video ratings are listed.
- Quick Import Youtube – Menu in which we manage the youtube videos
- Global Configuration – Configuration menu of the component
Step 1: Adding categories
Assume that you have more than a hundred videos in your database. In such cases, it's not much easy to manage all your videos without categorization. So, we have made categorization to be mandatory before adding your Videos. It means all your videos must be added to a category. So, the first step is to create a category. Read more
Step 2: Adding videos
After creating a category, you can just go to the Videos menu and start adding your video selecting the New button. Using Yendif Video Share Video form, either you can upload the video from your local hard disk or just add the direct video URL which already exists in your server. Additionally, it can accept YouTube video URLs or embed code of any third party video sharing websites. Read more
Step 3: Configuration
This is the final step in component back-end after adding categories and videos. This section allows you to "style the player", "enable or disable player controls", "setting user permissions" and more. Read more
Step 4: Deploying to the front-end
We have created categories, added videos and did some configurations. Now, this is the time to add the player or gallery to the site front-end for the user experience.
