Joomla Design For Video Site.
We have a site that is not yet fully programmed but needs to be quickly.
It is a joomla programed all-video site, similar to youtube.com , matacafe.com and viddler.com.
I need that site to be properly programmed so it works fast and smooth and every button is working properly, all navigation and functions. It’s almost done but needs more work to perfect it. I need this real quick…
Our site is: http://www.yourtowntube.com
We are not quite finished this site, it needs excellent programmer to finish the site, you must know video site programming also. I need this done in 2 days. I have 3 other projects to follow also, but this must be done correctly first as it is the key site for the other sites.
The site has been done using Joomla; the customizable video player and API, etc., is supplied to me by my Business Account with Viddler:
http://www.viddler.com/signup/business-features/
The links below show all the features we have used and all the features that we can use that are supplied by Viddler.
http://www.viddler.com/signup/business-features/
and
http://developers.viddler.com/products/white-label-uploader-viewer/
I have the Viddler.com viddler for business plan, viddler hosts all my videos and we use their API, etc. – you can see this information on their site and see their Developer button.
You have complete access to anything you need from the features Viddler offers us.
The http://www.yourtowntube site has these additional programming needs that have not yet been finished:
I think you will clearly see when you review the site that there are things that are missing or do not yet function properly. Here they are in detail
1. The 4 town choices at the top of the home page:
Princeton, Lawrenceville, Pennington or Hopewell
The site is a site like YouTube, but instead of uploading or viewing videos for all around the world, it is only for videos from the local towns. We will be having many of these sites around the USA, but first we need to get this site correct.
People can select to view videos or upload videos to be seen from each of these towns only, or ALL these towns. When people view the site they can select to see eachof the town’s videos individually or All towns’ videos
When people register they choose the towns they want to upload videos to. When people upload videos they choose the towns they want to see their videos. Most people will probably select All towns, these towns are very close to each other.
Each town should have their own identical looking home page, see jpg attached, only Princeton changes colors – (to orange and black)I can send the Princeton jpg & psd. The Main Home page you see when someone enters YouTownTube is the All towns page, From this page a user can choose to see each of the 4 towns’ videos only by choosing one of the towns, Princeton, Lawrenceville, Pennington or Hopewell. Videos that are uploaded are tagged for each of those towns and will show from each of the town’s home pages, or they are tagged with all.
We need to make sure these pages can be selected, remember all are identical except Princeton has different colors.
2. The big ½ Off OR MORE banner should go to a page that you need to create where the body of the page can look like Viddler.com Explore/Recently Uploaded page (see example link below. Please do the page and make the connection between the !/2 Off OR MORE banner and the new page.
You can copy the interior of the page, the thumbnails layout of viddler’s page, where they show all the Recently Uploaded videos, EXCEPT UNDER EACH THUMBNAIL WE WANT 3 LINES OF TEXT INSTEAD OF ONE.: http://www.viddler.com/explore/recently-uploaded/
It is very important that I be able to easily and frequently change the thumbnails and the text for them.
3. People Groups and Explore buttons:
The People Groups and Explore buttons and their sub-menus are very important to me. look at viddler’s and you can copy their interior page layouts, I can send a jpg of how the Explore page should look, it is simply our red website navigation and look with the interior of the page done like viddler’s explore pages.
An Explore button should be after the Groups button before Your Platinum Page.
Using as a reference the Explore sub-menu in viddler, we do not need the Featured Videos page.
For reference, see Viddler’s Explore sub-menu:
http://www.viddler.com/explore/featured/ – ours needs advertisement banners – see the example of the explorev1.0. page we supply you is easy: you can place the banners like that
http://www.viddler.com/explore/most-popular/ – needs the advertisement banners as above
http://www.viddler.com/explore/most-favorited/ – needs banners as above
http://www.viddler.com/explore/most-discussed/ – needs banners as above
http://www.viddler.com/explore/recently-uploaded/ – no banners
4. Today’s Highlights section is very important and is not quite done correctly yet.
There is a Today’s Highlights section on all the home pages, Princeton, Lawrenceville, Pennington or Hopewell
And on all the different colored pages (Your Health & Beauty, Your Unique Shops & Dining, Your Family Fun & Education and Your Platinum Page.
We do want it on any of the other pages such as information pages such as About, Advertisers, People, Explore, etc.
The content in Today’s Highlights stays the same for all the town pages (Princeton, Lawrenceville, Pennington or Hopewell), . But the content changes on the Your Health & Beauty, Your Unique Shops & Dining, Your Family Fun & Education and Your Platinum Page – The jpgs attached have the proper content for all those pages, but the content for all the pages is not yet correct on the actual site that was programmed.
See the attached jpg for how it should look, i also have the content that forthe buttons and inside window that easily changes on the other pages.
There needs to be 4 buttons under the selection thumbnail as the attached jpgs have,
See this site link below for reference, this is where the general idea to follow for the functioning of the Today’s Highlights section is this:
http://www.comcast.net/
See their Today’s highlights section on this page, that is EXACTLY as I want my Today’s Highlights to work, except every selection in my site needs to be to a video, not to any text pages as Comcast does, mine is no text pages, all videos when anything is selected.
Observe that in their “Today’s Highlights” window, you see 4 buttons on the bottom of the section –( the jpgs attached are done correctly).
You see in the Comcast Today’s Highlights:
there is a thumbnail photo, a Headline, a Description, and 4 bullet points. Under that are 4 buttons. The jpgs attached have this designed correctly, on the yourtowntube.com site you can see this is not yet correct. We need it to be like the jpgs attached and when a selection is made it needs to go to the video viewing page our video viewing page should look like the attached file website_innerv1.0.jpg
That is what my Today’s Highlights should contain – it should work exactly like Comcast except the choices need to be videos that I can change everyday, (not text pages like Comcast has). And, I only want 3 bullet points instead of 4, You can see that Comcast has 4.
(we have the psd files for all pages, except the Group, People and Explore pages, but we do have a file that shows you how they should look, it is easy to follow, it is basically our site with the look of Viddler’s interior where they arrange their thumbnails.)
The 4 Today’s Highlights button names and the content changes on the main home page and the 4 colored pages: Gold, blue, purple, platinum. It stays the same for all 4 town’s Home pages.
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT I BE ABLE TO EASILY CHANGE THE CONTENT IN ALL THE TODAY’S HIGHLIGHTS SECTIONS EVERY DAY.
5. Register page: please make sure this always works smoothly.
Sometimes after you Register, see the attached screenshot: 2 messages came on one says: “Your account has been created…” and also the message “This username/password already in use. Please try another…” shows up also -, (see attached screenshot of the register page that shows these 2 messages appearing simultaneously..
Check this out by registering a few times to make sure this does not happen.
6. Please put a registered mark on YOURTOWNTUBE logo on top of each page.(just off the top right side of the E, above the .com camera).
a real little one like these guys use: http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/
7. Your Platinum Page: I need to do some content changes on this page. It will function exactly as the other colored pages do, but I need to give you updated content.
8. Navigate through the site, if you see anything else that does not function properly let me know.
9. Also, the page layouts designs of the attached jpgs need to be followed exactly (we also have the psd’s for all these pages). There are spacing issues in the listings section of Video Category and Area Businesses that were not followed exactly.
