As you can see wordPress is now installed and up and running (cool). All in all as stated the process was an easy one and im overjoyed with the ease of getting it all going, however now begins the process of modification to suit my needs.
1. Director Content Upload and Display
As I mostly develop in shockwave these days the first point of call is to modify the install to cater for .dir and .dcr upload / content.
This is quite an easy process and can be acomplished by simply defining the extensions within >wp-includes>functions.php:
‘dcr’ => ‘application/x-director’,
‘dir’ => ‘application/x-director’,
I did this just below the flash .swf definition (’swf’ => ‘application/x-shockwave-flash’, ) approx line 1103.
With this acomplished I then needed to address embedding the media into my posts. Luckly I located a plugin (coolPlayer) that would suite my needs at this stage of development (good community this wordPress has !), however I think that im gonna have to look into this a little more bespokely.
For your ref, coolPlayer is a great little plugin that enables you to embed allsorts of media types including .mp3 and .mov in addition to .dir and .dcr.
say what do you think
