template
Sourcefabric is currently working on new templates for Campsite. One new set per month should be released in the first half of 2011. Otherwise, you can purchase or download themes for other CMSes and then hire someone to adapt them to Campsite.…

template
Hi Ali, If you're using the Classic template set (which is usually installed by default with Campsite), you can change values in the CSS files as well. The CSS files govern most aspects of appearance - choice of fonts, size of fonts, …

Campsite - New look
Another piece of feedback I wanted to give is that certain, more important functions, like the save button, should probably be made a lot more prominent. The save button looks a little small to me right now. The same is true for the article nam…

Campsite - New look
Hi Fritz, These are a _huge_ improvement over what was there before. I like the overall consistency, especially with the look of the widgets on the front page. Do you envision that, like the front page widgets, users will be able to reorder the…

Reliable Electricity and Local Radio Broadcasts
Hi Glenn, Thanks for getting in touch with us. I love your question. As far as I can understand, you're talking about using renewable energy to power _streaming_ projects, as opposed to _broadcast_ projects. If it's a stream…

There seem to be two separate and important tasks here. The first is to come up with a new reordering for the items on the left column. Could we have a dynamic reordering, where items that have been added most recently would appear at the top? …

And would this be interesting for upstream Smarty developers, or is it specific to Campsite ?

Campcaster to Icecast patch
Paul, can we add this to the trunk, or can we at least document the process of using this to set up streams?

priority and DTMF control
Also, yesterday I filed a ticket for DTMF support. It's currently assigned to a future release (i.e. we don't have a version yet for it to go into), but at least we have it in the system. http://dev.sourcefabric.org/browse/CC-1693 …

Hi Vlad, DTMF response is something we have discussed for a long time. Thanks for reminding us about it. We are in the midst of putting the feature set together for upcoming releases and I'll work to put this in there. As for prioriti…

Help me with a few misunderstands issues
Hi Normando, Thanks so much for the instructions on how to compile on CentOS. Support for CentOS (and other RPM-based distributions) has been high on my wishlist for quite some time. As for streaming, we've used DarkIce, which was dev…

Error starting Studio on a completely clean Karmic install
Hi Daniel, I installed the updates first and then installed Campcaster. There were quite a few updates in there (more than 100), so it's hard to say which updated package broke things. There weren't, however, any other packages insta…

For what it's worth, the NYTimes uses Varnish, and they wrote this blog entry about it on their developer blog: http://open.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/09/15/using-varnish-so-ne ws-doesnt-break-your-server/

Hi Jacob, This is really cool! I'm looking forward to seeing the next step (the IFRAME). Could you possibly tell us more about the process of applying and registering a Facebook app? Also, I'm assuming that the comments are then sent …

Hi Jacob, I used a similar method when we added the "Recommend" button on the Netgazeti site: http://netgazeti.ge/GE/24/News/2325/ I just added the following code to the article.tpl template (the site is also based on the Cl…

[campcaster-support] help!!! please and thank you
Hi, You should probably check a few things: 1) Are all the packages correctly installed? There should be campcaster-station, campcaster-studio, campcaster-data, etc. 2) Do you have all the dependencies, especially Postgres, installed …

No sound coming from scheduler
Hi Aramil, I'm glad to hear that you've narrowed down the problem with the playlist. There is a very easy to use tool for making backups of your storage items - you can back everything up (which will make a very big file and pro…

No sound coming from scheduler
This is a strange problem indeed. I'm trying to narrow the problem down - is it a bad playlist (or items inside the playlist) or is it another problem inside the scheduler? If you're able to narrow the problem down to a certain playlist, w…

No sound coming from scheduler
Hi Aramil, This is usually caused by a file which in some way gave the scheduler problems - perhaps it was in a format it does not understand such as Apple's AAC? If you are in testing mode, please try to restart your computer and sta…

Old demo templates
Please be advised that old templates may not work perfectly with newer versions of Campsite, especially those older than the 3.0 release. Your mileage may vary.

Old demo templates
You might want to browse through the SourceForge files to find the old templates - templates have tended to be updated according to the release, so if you click on each of the releases, you can also get template packages there. http://sourcefor…

[campcaster-support] 64-Bit Campcaster Version?
Hi John, We haven't had anyone come forward yet with 64-bit packages. (Come on, community! I know you can do it!) In the meantime, the fastest way to get Campcaster running on a 64-bit machine is to set up the development environment …

Campsite Security Fix for 3.2 and above
Users of Campsite 3.2.x should first upgrade to 3.3.5 (the latest version) and then apply the patch from there. Instructions on upgrading are in the Campsite manual under "Upgrades" here. I know this is extra work, but this vulnerability i…

problem with the latest security patch for campsite
We're recommending that users first upgrade their 3.2.x sites to 3.3, and then apply the patch. A 3.3.6 release is coming, but this hole is pretty serious and should be patched immediately.

Scheduler crashes and scratchpad issue
Hi Aramil, Which version are you using? Are you using one of the later packages, or, ideally, working from the trunk? Regardless, this is an interesting error; I've never run across it before. I'm also passing this on to Nebojsa …
