ETA for 2.1?
I can't emphasize enough the importance of community members getting involved in the testing process, though. Everybody wants to sit and wait for Airtime to come out and be _perfect_, but it doesn't get that way until we all roll up our sl…

ETA for 2.1?
Hi Dominic, While it's always dangerous to set dates for this kind of thing, all the indications I'm getting from the Airtime developers say that it should be ready by the end of May 2012. You can help this process by testing the beta vers…

Repeating content
Hi Dario, I'm not sure if this is what you've had in mind, but we've had a 'record and rebroadcast' feature for some time now. With this feature, you can take the output from your mixing board, connect it to the line input o…

Sort by Date added/uploaded in Playlist Builder
Hi Gice, I like your suggestion. When I work with any music player, I use the 'Sort by date added' function all the time, and I can see how this would be a good addition. I went ahead and created a ticket for this on the Airtime ticketing …

Statistics page for airtime. custom built.
@Romeo, this is excellent! I'll be sure to share this with others as well. Looking forward to seeing it in action on one of the development branches!

One staff per magazine feature desirable?
Hi, If I understand your problem correctly, you want each staff to only have access to their own magazine. The current version of Newscoop, 3.5.3, does not have the ability to limit users to a subset of the instance's content. The next version,…

Watch Folders out of date
Hi Camerin, Just wondering: Do you get a lot of power cuts where you are? We've had to deal with them in various developing countries. Assuming you've got your storage in order, the graceful resumption of playlists to where they…

Hi Carl, Your note about checking the control panel for access to your .htaccess file is a good thing to add to our documentation, which, if you haven't seen it, is at http://manuals.sourcefabric.org. doug

Suggestion: Asterisk PBX call integration
Hi Jason, Great minds must think alike! We recently looked into the possibilities of not only integrating Airtime with Asterisk, but with other interesting projects for doing call-in management. Do you have any experience with Asterisk? I …

WYSIWIG Editor
Hi Matt, If I recall correctly, there are known issues with WYSIWYG editors and iOS. I filed this ticket for it a while ago, but unfortunately it's still open: http://dev.sourcefabric.org/browse/CS-3255 Hope this helps! doug

Demo Server Configured Correctly?
Hi Ariel, I've just checked the Airtime demo, and it seems to be working correctly. As a matter of fact, I'm able to listen to a show that someone has scheduled a couple of minutes ago. The schedule is set for the UTC (i.e. Gree…

What is the SaaS Release
Hi Tounsi, Nice to see that you're paying attention to the versions. The SaaS version refers to an internal release we are planning in support of a hosting service we are working on. The software-as-a-service will be based on Airtime …

Hi, I can't say exactly how TOL did their archives page (I didn't work on that), but I did want to point you to the Newscoop Cookbook and its chapter on making archives, which has lots of good code examples and tips: http://en.f…

Another way you can check those templates on "The Journal" is to log in to the Newscoop demo site and see it in action there: http://newscoop-demo.sourcefabric.org/admin. Follow the instructions there, and then go to Configure -> Tem…

403 Forbidden the entire domain after install Newscoop 3.5.2
Hi Will, We've had a fair amount of experience with installations in places with power outages; we ran into quite a lot of outages in Dakar when implementing the West Africa Democracy Radio site recently. One thing you may want to conside…

Get sound form sateline an retransmision in Airtime
Hi Jacek, It is possible to use Airtime in the way you describe, but with one big "if," which is if the satellite source does not broadcast anything while Airtime does. If the satellite broadcasts other content, you will need to find …

Moving from the 1.7 dev environment to packaged version?
OK, I've heard there is a backup/restore function in 1.7. Can you tell me more about where this is before I wipe my install?

Dashboard loading
Hi Adriel, I've seen this when the browser is IE7. You might want to try a different browser (i.e. Chrome, Firefox, Opera) to see if that solves your problem. doug On Fri, Apr 1, 2011 at 2:12 PM, Andrey Podshivalov < newscoop-su…

Live video stream
Hi Ofir, Good that you mentioned Justin.tv. Netgazeti.ge, a Newscoop user in Tbilisi, Georgia, is already using Justin.tv, albeit not through their API, only in embeds. How could the API be used with Newscoop? Here's a link to one of…

Subscriptions for The Journal please!
Hi Andel, We're working pretty hard to get these templates finished, but in the meantime I'd like to note that if you _really_ need something done on a deadline, you might want to consider hiring Sourcefabric or someone from the commu…

Install problem
Hi Fabio, I just wanted to add that you could always relay your stream. This would be especially useful if you have a lot of users listening and you don't want to clog up the connection to your Airtime server. I don't know if tha…

Importing Wordpress posts/pages
Hi Bob, The short answer for the time being is that there isn't a one-click method to import from Wordpress into Newscoop. We're close in a few areas - for example, there is an XML import tool in Newscoop, but it was intended more for…

Opinion on Mapping popups
I agree with Micz. The maps edit window is fundamentally different than the other popups that a site may have; regular work with points of interest (POIs) frequently requires users to switch into the article in order to copy and paste the relevant t…

Campsite API for subscription management?
It's on our to-do list for the next release, but aside from putting on the list, not much else has been done with it yet. We'd definitely appreciate it if TOL could take a leading role on this and will be in touch with you about specific s…

SWF banner
Hm. This is really strange. Just to satisfy a question of mine - does this happen for other SWF files too? (I'm just wondering if the SWF file itself might be corrupted).

SWF banner
For what it's worth, the SWF file ( http://www.itipo.net/templates/itipo/img/banner/pan_rip_300x 250.swf) doesn't load even when I try to open it in a separate tab. - Is Apache correctly configured to serve SWF? This seems unlikely, b…

Paywall models
Hi Paul, Here are the paywall models that come immediately to mind: Section-by-section (NY Times Select) - certain sections are free, but others are paid Pay-per-article (New England Journal of Medicine) - abstracts are free, but full…
