Video Post Sites

[Khun]

I'm looking into starting a video post project. Something similar to Break.com, Entensity.net, or MuchoSucko.com in terms of content.

My question is: Are there scripts available for this type of site or are these sites all custom coded. I figure the big ones are but I am looking for a "get my foot in the door" solution.

So far I have tried bolg style scripts and while I have been able to get close to what I want, its not quite what I am after. My current format is a blog post with a screencap of the vid that links to a static template page that I reuse with the video imbedded in it. This makes for a lot of manual code editing and uploading. My ideal solution would be something that has a web based admin section that would allow me to upload the file to a content directory and dynamicly generate the media page from my template.

Anyone know of a script or mod that would allow something similar? Anyone know of a better solution than what I am looking for?

Thanks in advance.

or hop on scriptlance and the like and get someone to code ya one. Dumpalink, yourdailymedia, etc are all just wordpress blogs with a bunch of custom mods they had done.

Hey Khun,

I saw you took my advise and posted a project on scriptlance. If you're still looking I know someone who is willing to sell / tweak his own CMS. And, the price isn't bad at all.

Shoot me an ICQ if you're interested: 267-489-697

Thanks guys. Hoarder helped me out with the code for a very reasonable price and did an excellent job. I highly recommend him if you need some php code done fast!

http://www.big-poppas.com - Not skinned yet. Please post if you find any errors. Only one I know of so far is that it doest work on IE 7 beta, dont know if that is due to IE or the site.

Nice looking frontend.

Found a couple things to keep 'ya busy:

-Your seach function only works from the index page. That should only take 2 secs to fix though.

-Your rating feature is dead.

-Your site declares itself as XHTML 1.0 Strict, but needs some tweaking to validate. Your index has over 80 errors at the moment. Might want to wait on that new skin before you really work on that though.

Couple things I'd suggest:

-You've got the 'AIM a friend', might as well add 'Set as Away Message'.

aim:goaway?message=I'm+not+here,+so+this+shit+will+have+to+do:<br>{current-url-thingy}

-Look into getting rss feeds setup for your content.

-Hook-up a better e-mail to a friend form that is done from the content page. Best thing would be something hooked up with AJax.

-When you setup the new layout make sure it follows the lead of the current one by putting the sidebar(s) below the content. Nice for the SEs.


Overall I like the frontend. Very clean and fast loading. I'm such a OCD freak it'll probably take another couple weeks before I'm done with mine.

Thanks HimNola! On the ratings system, I am able to see it working. Can you provide your browser and version that you are unable to get it to work with?

Thanks!

By the way, I am testing with Firefox v1.0.7

The rating is dead in IE6.
