Hi Mark
I tested this up at http://www.cotongreenchurch.co.....es/sermons
It took a bit of work to get the plugin functioning on install as I had the previous beta installed and i had to manually clear out the entries in my my_sql install (I did use the uninstall option before disabling the plugin as well). This may or may not be an issue with the RC.
Once i had a clean install the plugin was much more stable and uploading worked fine - I haven't had chance to modify the template files too much as yet but it seems to work with my default template settings much better than 0.1. The audio player support is also working well.
Podcasting with itunes as a client worked a treat (with the url manually pasted in) - i have located the strings which control the podcasting linking and may have a go at adding and option to have a direct itunes link using the itpc:// protocal next to the main podcast link. If i get it working I will share it with you
Thanks again for this - the plugin becomes more feature rich with each beta - just one question really and that is are you going to add this to the wordpress.org plugin list once you are at RC stage?

Rich,
Thanks for the feedback. There were some significant changes between beta 1 and beta 2, so I'm not too surprised - though both the uninstall option and the upgrade process should have sorted this out. I'm glad you've got it working now though. There were several versions between 0.1 and 0.2 so I never did a direct upgrade from one to the other myself.
I don't use iTunes myself, and prefer to use non-proprietary links. But I see that all that's required is to swap out the http: for itpc:
It would be very easy for me to add two template tags [itunes_podcast] and [itunes_podcast_for_search]. Is this the best method, do you think? You could then just edit the template to add these links to your page.
You can do this very easily for [itunes_podcast] by adding the line:
'[itunes_podcast]' => '', to dictionary.php (in the first of the two main arrays). The search one is very slightly trickier because you can't use str_replace but I could modify frontend.php very easily to make this happen.
I will add it to the Wordpress site once I'm happy it's stable. I've applied for an account in anticipation!

Thanks for the reply - I think your idea of the added template tags is a good one - I agree personally that I would prefer just the non-proprietary links but after speaking to the people in the church who may be using this they wouldn't know how to copy the feed url into itunes etc. so I think a direct link is a good idea. If this could be in the release it would be great!
Also good news on the wordpress site front - with the effort you have put into this it deserves to go wider!
The only other thing I have found so far is the image of the preacher - is it meant to upload an image as this doesn't seem to work on my install.
If I can be any help please shout

I've updated the plug-in again. It's a minor update, so version 0.21. Here's the changelog:
- Added: Template tags for iTunes specific podcast links.
- Changed: Non-administrators can now use Sermon Browser (although only Administrators can change the options).
- Changed: Updated default template and CSS. Reset to defaults in Options to use it.
- Changed: More options in sidebar widget.
- Optimisation: Reduced number of database queries, reducing page-creation time by around 15%.
- Fixed: Links in the widget give "Page not found errors"
- Fixed: Filter by date gives incorrect results
Rich, thanks for spotting the image upload bug. It's not fixed, but I'm working on it.
