Audio files instead of video files for a podcast site
Would it be possible to alter the videos functionality by editing the helper/video.php file and replacing audio formats accepted instead of video files accepted? I want to change the jomsocial 'groups' into 'podcasts' and allow users to post their audio podcasts within the groups using the current video functionality (then just change the language in jomsocial language file to 'podcasts' instead of 'video').
Is this just as simple as changing the mimeType array:
$mimeType= array(
'audio/mpeg',
and if so, does anyone know what to enter to accept soundcloud url's (similar to ability to currently accept youtube urls)?
All things are possible if you know the way how to do that :) change our video helper and all of our video code are very risky unless you are expert programmer on joomla and jomsocial :)
As this request is pretty much a customization, and the scope of our support doesn't cover custom coding, code modifications or training in such, please consult to our Desk developers for such assistance
