Setup steps
Important: You should have already downloaded and installed FCPlayer on your web server before you begin this installation. If you have not, you may download it here.
- Go to the sign up page and fill out your account details, click sign up.
- You will receive an email with an activation link. Click on this link
- You will then receive an additional email with you connection details and instructions for the Final Step of your setup. These instructions are reproduced below.
Final Step: Connecting FCPlayer to the comments service
Once you have received your connection details, by email, do the following:
1) Go to the FCplayer folder installed on your site and open FCPlayer/comments/plugin.js in a text editor.
At the very beginning of the file you should see something like this:
var config={
key:'',
path:null,
The email you received contains your “key” and “path” connection parameters. Fill them in as the example below shows.
Example:
var config={
key:'abcdefgh1234',
path:'http://88.88.88.888/',
2) The next line in this file contains the proxy that you will use. By default, this is set to 'proxy.php':
proxy:'proxy.php',
If your web hosting environment supports PHP, just leave this as is. If asp.net or classic asp is enabled in your web hosting environment, change this line to 'proxy.aspx' or 'proxy.asp' respectively.
Example using asp.net:
proxy:'proxy.aspx',
Example using classic asp:
proxy:'proxy.asp',
3) Next, open FCPlayer/config/FCPlayerConfig.js in a text editor.
Find the section labeled:
//Plugin scripts to load into the player
pluginScripts:[
//"comments/plugin.js",
"defaultplugins.min.js",
"customplugins.js"
],
The pluginScripts array shown above contains a list of scripts to be loaded into the player when it starts up. We need to add the comments plugin script. Uncomment (remove the two forward slashes from) the line that says "comments/plugin.js", as follows:
//Plugin scripts to load into the player
pluginScripts:[
"comments/plugin.js",
"defaultplugins.min.js",
"customplugins.js"
],
At this point, the setup is complete. Of course, you can't use the comments service until you add the comments plugin to the menu bar of your player. Here is the section that deals with this: Loading the comments plugin into FCPlayer
