how would you do this? Video comp - upload issues
Permalink
Hi there, I work for a uni and we are running a video competition for our students. I was looking to manage this all via a c5 install but running into (obvious) problems using the file upload part of the form block due to browser timeouts on larger files.
How would you approach this in c5? Ideally I wanted them to have to tick a few t&c things (relating to copyright, permission to use the videos for marketing etc etc) but not really sure how to achieve this in c5.
If anyone has any thoughts or has done similar things sucessfully in the past please let me know :)
Cheers Stu

Have you tried using the video block? There are blocks for Youtube, Vimeo and Flowplayer. You can embed the videos from your Youtube or Vimeo channel.
Have you checked out the document library addon - it has a dropbox mode that would allow users to add files:

Other than that if you were up to writing some code I could suggest some approaches you might take.

hmm first try not so great - seemed to spin out the UI (when logged in) big style - but shall keep trying :)
as a temporary fix took the chicken's way out and did it in a static page within the site structure /blush
just need to sit down and really think about all the js that is going on and how it might conflict with c5's
