really not smart to host a video demonstration on a private server on which it is necessary to register to view it. Unless you have an economic interest to do so …
TxpTips could not offer a hosting solution for the demonstration videos or tutorials videos?

I myself do not have a Facebook account – but I prefer that authors choose a video hosting service that works for them. I’d be quite happy to display an accompanying video if an author requests/requires it.

Nevermind here’s a link to the video on Youtube that I just uploaded:

I also upload the video of the previous tip:

Use the “Expand” button in the Youtube player (near the “Full screen” button) to see the video in it’s full size (640×480).

Would you like me to place the videos at the end of each article, along with a link to the YouTube/FB versions?

]]> Mave Comment on Automated custom titles for your articles by Gil Goldshlager 1 1 Tue, 23 Aug 11 06:14:57 +0000 @Mave – You probably misunderstand the principle of this tip,
(And it’s fine, the name of this tip indeed can be misleading)

It’s not really how to create “automatic”-titles (even that it does to that),
It’s for preventing the need to type the same content in both places in the title and in custom-fields.

When you need to type content in custom-fields, for example I will continue with the music releases which you need to type in custom fields all the next info:
> artist-name
> release-title
> record-label
> release-date
> …

So in this case the title of the article will probably be the artist-name + the release-title,
If so there is no good reason to tell the client (or yourself) to type the same content in both places – in the title and in the custom-fields.
And this is where this tip come handy and help you to prevent the need of typing in both places and only to type it in the custom-fields.

Remember that clients are lazy, and in this case they are totally right,
so we need to set-up the CMS to be as simple and comfortable as possible for them :)
