Joomla Bible Study

The Servers Tab and the Server Folders Tab allow administrators to compile a list of url's where media files will be stored.  The pre-inclusion of servers and folders allows those entering media files to choose the hosting address from a drop down list without having to configure a complete url address, reducing the potential for typing errors.

 

Use of Servers and Folders is optional - but strongly recommended for error reduction.



THE SERVERS TAB

Click on the Servers Tab. 

On this screen, you may click on the desired icon - delete, edit or new.

Click on the green checkmark to either publish or unpublish a study.

Note:  When a server is unpublished, all the information is still stored in the database, but the name of that server will not appear in the drop-down lists of server options.

 

Server Name:  Enter any wording that will describe this server location.

Server Path:   Enter the url where the media files will be uploaded.  Drop the http:// from the front of the address and end the address after the extension (.com, .org, etc.)

Example:   If media files will be uploaded to

                                 http://www.JoomlaBibleStudy.org/media/2010

                   enter into the Server Path the following:

                                  www.JoomlaBibleStudy.org

                   Make sure the Server Path does not end in a "/"

                   (trailing folders will need to be entered at the Server Folders Tab)

THE SERVER FOLDERS TAB

 

Click on the Server Folders Tab. 

On this screen, you may click on the desired icon - delete, edit or new.

Click on the green checkmark to either publish or unpublish a study.

Note:  When a folder is unpublished, all the information is still stored in the database, but the name of that folder will not appear in the drop-down lists of folder options.

 

Folder Name:  Enter any wording that will describe this folder location.

Folder Path:   Enter the sub-folders where media files are stored.

Example:   If media files will be uploaded to

                                 http://www.JoomlaBibleStudy.org/media/2010

                   enter into the Server Folder the following:

                                  /media/2010/

                   IMPORTANT:  Make sure the Server Folder ends with a "/"
