Comment on Still working on this by Debbie

I’m interested too. I’m assuming that because the sermons are handled by WordPress that all the podcasts don’t have to be on the same page, that would be nice.

Hi I really wanna use your plugin, but can’t get it to work for now. It doesn’t show the media player. I guess you are working on it. Hope to see it launched soon.

Hey there Jack, thanks for thinking of me, but I’ll have to pass on the offer. I don’t mind the competition, so I’ll give you some tips if you think you want to continue forward with the project:

Make sure to turn on WP_DEBUG in the wp-config.php file, that way you can catch all the errors and notices. There were piles of notice flags, and ideally you’d want no errors or flags at all. Try using things like if( isset( $_GET['index'] ) && $_GET['index'] == 'val' ) for GET and POST values.
You’ll definitely want to at least rename your functions so you don’t have name collisions, perhaps a prefix like wpfc_ would suffice. Even better, you could wrap the entire thing inside a PHP class, that way you can name them whatever you want.

Your plugin needs a lot of cleanup, but it functions! I’ve actually started back up on the Sermon Posts plugin, so it will be available on the WP site soon.

Hey Tobias,
I just released a sermon plugin for WordPress: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sermon-manager-for-wordpress/

Perhaps you would like to work with me on improving it since your time is limited? Just a thought.

Jack

Hello John, the bad news is that I’ve had to set aside development on SermonPosts for quite some time due to increased work load. The good news is that I’m almost ready to start development on it again!

You say you have version 0.61 installed, and I must embarrassingly admit that I couldn’t remember what version my own software was at :-X but after I looked, it appears that mine only goes to 0.13, so perhaps you installed 0.06.1 by mistake?

Hi, I use my personal blog to test plugins etc. before I add them to a client’s site. Ultimetly I’d want to use sermonposts on http://ctkac.ca

I have version 0.61 installed. I have created this file “single-sermon_post.php” which I have in the Twenty Eleven theme folder. I’m running WP 3.2.1

Problems/Questions I have are …
1) I can not see how to add any of series, preacher or services. I see the page for all of these but none of them have a visible submit, create, ok button.
2) How do I select the sermon post format or how do I differentiate between a news post and a sermon post?

I’ve been running “sermon browser” since the beginning but the lack of response or updates has become very frustrating. However, to change over to a new method, such as yours, to post/display sermons I’ve got to be very sure your solution will work. Reason as y9ou can see here our sermons are very popular … “You have 171 files in 97 sermons from 24 preachers in 14 series using 47 tags. They have been downloaded a total of 22,701 times, an average of 234 times per sermon. The most popular sermon is Moving Forward in Faith, which has been downloaded 503 times.”

Thank you very much for all your work on this.

Hey Tobias! No worries friend. At the end of the day, taking care of you takes priority. I’m just encouraged that someone is still pursuing this, even if it’s still a ways out. This will be a huge blessing to the body at large. Thanks for your labor thus far!!!

How are you doing? Still busy as ever? Me too. Make any progress on Sermon Posts yet?

Comment on Sermon Posts 0.13 by James

I’m in the process of upgrading our website, I’ve been playing with WordPress plugin’s such as sermon_browser and yours. I did not like having a search at the top of the page that could not search the sermons. So in finding your plugin I can search, but I cannot get any audio to show up that’s it’s attached to the post. I have the Audio Player 2.0.4.1 plugin, what is it I could be doing wrong? Also this “single-sermon_post.php” file, could you zip me a sample of what it needs to be?

The only post I have with your plugin is here-

Thank you for time and efforts on this project.
