Yii2 Podcast Hosting & Streaming Module
===========================================

[](#yii2-podcast-hosting--streaming-module)

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Host unlimited podcasts & episodes in `MP3` format
- Playback statistics (downloads, referrals, playback locations etc.)
- Tool to create episodes’ show notes: just write comment as you listen to the podcast, and a timestamp will be automatically added to the note
- Podcast notes
- Generate XML/RSS feed for iTunes etc
- Feedburner (or any external feed service) support

*Additionally*, `podcaster` playback will continue to work and write stats even if your database is temporary down (e.g. your VPS is rebooting, or there is maintenance; see documentation below).

Package includes `podcaster` module as well as a complete & ready to roll application.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP, MYSQL
- Composer
- FTP access to upload episodes

If you do not have [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/), you may install it by following the instructions at [getcomposer.org](http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#installation-nix).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

This module is a standard Yii2 Application module - you can add it **to an existing Yii 2 app**. There is an example application provided with the code, based on Yii 2 Basic application template.

Below you will find instructions on how to setup both options.

#### Option 1: Setup and run included example application

[](#option-1-setup-and-run-included-example-application)

1. Configure your database connection in file `example/config/db.php`. You can also just create `yii2basic` database accessible to `root` user without using password.
2. Install composer packages by running command

```
php composer.phar install

```

3. Run migrations:

> php example/yii migrate --migrationPath=./src/podcaster/migrations

4. Point your server (`example.com`) to `example/web` folder. Go to your website and enjoy! (see `Usage` section of this readme)

#### Option 2: add `podcaster` module to an existing project

[](#option-2-add-podcaster-module-to-an-existing-project)

1. Add `podcaster` module to your config (usually it's `config/web.php` file)

```
'modules' => [
    'podcaster' => [
        'class' => 'webkadabra\podcaster\Module',
        'layout' => '//podcaster',
        'uploadPath' => '@app/media/', // upload podcasts to www-unreachable directory
    ],
]

```

2. Add urlRules to your config:

```
// ...
'components' => [
    'urlManager' => [
        'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
        'showScriptName' => false,
        'rules' => [
            [
                'pattern' => 'podcast//feed',
                'route' => 'podcaster/feed/feed', 'suffix' => '.xml'
            ],
            [
                'pattern' => 'podcast//feed-',
                'route' => 'podcaster/feed/feed', 'suffix' => '.xml'
            ],
            [
                'pattern' => '/stream/',
                'route' => 'podcaster/traffic/stream', 'suffix' => '.mp3'
            ],
            [
                'pattern' => '/',
                'route' => 'podcaster/traffic/download', 'suffix' => '.mp3'
            ],
        ],
    ],
],

```

Then, run migrations from **your application root folder**:

> php yii migrate --migrationPath=vendor/webkadabra/src/podcaster/migrations

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

1. Create podcast via "Podcast Management" menu
2. Upload your podcast episodes to a configured folder (by default, it's `media` folder in the root path of your app) with your favorite FTP client (`FileZilla` is recommended)
3. Add podcast episodes via "Episodes" menu
