Laying out KDP
Thu, 05/07/2009 - 02:26
Howdy,
I've gotten KDP working with our content embedded into our pages generated with PHP5. (Yeah!)
Now, looking to customize KDP.... (of course)
Via the wiki I've looked over: http://corp.kaltura.com/wiki/index.php/KDP
And the XML described there makes sense. But, I don't know where the XML file will be located..... I am presuming it is not associated with my partner ID as presumably one could want more than one even for any given video asset.
The KDP wiki doc has this line, "In order to embed a KDP on a web page a developer should first create a widget (or use one of the available widgets) which describes the settings of the required player. " But, unfortunately it does not link or describe doing this or whether this will create the associated default XML...
To see an example of where we are now: http://www.becausefoundation.org/films/crossing/trailer.php
Thanks for any and all pointers....

Thank you for that thread reference, it has some interesting points... but, I still have some questions.
Can the layout XML be stored on an external web server? I didn't find a clear answer. Nor do I find a parameter similar to skinPath for the layout XML
To the question, What parameter would be set for a given widget instance to reference an alternative layout?
I believe the answer is From the KDP Wiki:
The widget contains a ui_conf_id' which points to a layout xml file residing on the Kaltura servers.
Does the new CMS system then have a place to browse layout XML much like a gallery for videos? Further, the use of a conf_id would seem to indicate that all layout XML is in the Kaltura database, is this correct?
If there an area in the CMS wherein an XML layout could be uploaded and issued a ui_conf_id?
Thanks for any and all pointers!

All comments are regarding the Kaltura Community Edition:
"Does the new CMS system then have a place to browse layout XML much like a gallery for videos? Further, the use of a conf_id would seem to indicate that all layout XML is in the Kaltura database, is this correct?"
The ui_conf xml for user generated layouts ect. are stored (at least for the KCE) under KalturaCE => content => generatedUiConf => ... (There path is saved to the database... Don't think there content is...)
"Can the layout XML be stored on an external web server?"
Since its loading a local ui_conf. file... there is no reason it can't reference another server?!
"If there an area in the CMS wherein an XML layout could be uploaded and issued a ui_conf_id?"
As of now there is something similar to that... Goto the KMC console => Application Studio => edit to your hearts content...
