About

Playlists are static lists of videos that can be accessed within MediaSpace or embedded into web pages. For others to view videos in a playlist, the videos must be either unlisted or published to a MediaSpace category or channel that the viewer has permission to view.

The Addtoplaylists module is currently only supported in MediaSpace Video Portal.
It provides MediaSpace users the ability to create, edit, and delete personal playlists. Admins may permit only the content owners to add content that they own to the playlist. 

Configure

Enable the Module

enabled - When enabled, Add to playlist is displayed to users on the ACTIONS menu in a media entry page of MediaSpace. Users can click Add to playlist and additional functionality is displayed.
See the example below.

The basic configuration of enable/disable is in the Chapters module in KMS or KAF Admin page.

Once enableFullDeck is enabled, Users can upload a full deck of slides to present alongside their media (dual-screen experience), using the timeline functionality. The supported formats are  PPT, PPTX, PDF, and Images of  the following types "*.3gp;*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.bmp;*.png;*.gif;*.tif;*.tiff;*.3GP;*.JPG;*.JPEG;*.BMP;*.PNG;*.GIV;*.TIF;*.TIFF;"

Edit Media

After you enable the module, the Timeline tab is added to the entry-edit page.
The media owner/editor can add new Chapters or Slides on the timeline through this tab by uploading an image and providing metadata text. See the article The Kaltura Player- Editing/Deleting Chapters and Slides for more information.

Chapters are markers on the media timeline that are used to provide context to a segment of the media. Chapters are in the top hierarchy and can include slides within them.

Slides are synchronized visual elements to the main media.

User Interaction

After chapters and slides are created, the player is displayed with a matching plugin that presents the chapters and slides view on it. The viewer sees only the extended player and not the timeline for editing. The viewer can navigate between chapters and slides inside the player view, as well as search on their text.

Use this module to upload CSS files to your KMS site.

The Custompages module provides the ability to create additional site pages from template pages that were created in the TemplatePages module.

Use the Custompages module to select a template, set its URL and permissions, and publish the page.

Learn more about using templates and custom pages in the Create and Use a Template Page article. 

Getting started

Before working with the Custompages module, create at least one page in the Templatepages module. Navigate to the Custompages module at https://{your_site_url}/admin/config/tab/custompages and click  "Add CustomPage" to create a page from any of the available template pages. See the Templatepages module for more information. 

The following is a partial configuration for a template page named dz home page, created in the Templatepages module.

Enable a Custom Page

Set the following fields to enable a custom page and determine its availability:

1. Availability - The published field determines the page's availability. When the page is ready to be used, set the published field to 'Yes'. As long as it is set to 'No', the page is not available to any user.
   
2. Template Page - The pageTemplate field provides a drop down menu of the available templates you may use to create a custom page. Select a template page. The drop down list is created from the templates you configure in Templatepages module.
3. Path/URL - Select the custom page's URL using the pageSlug field.
   • Enter alphanumeric only without spaces, with special care for capital letters (recommended not to use capital letters). Signs such as Underscore ("_")  are accepted, however, do not use Space (" "). 
   • The results are a new URL in the application https://{your_site_url}/{slug} 
     (e.g. Enter the slug 'help' to create a help page in the https://mykmssite.kaltura.com/help URL).
4. Permissions - Choose who can navigate to the selected page using the permission field. 
   • The selection is of a minimum role, starting with everyone, up to a limited availability. 
   • To allow this page for guests/anonymous users:
     1. Set 'anonymousRole' to allow guests to view the page, if your site is set to support anonymous users (set from the Auth module).
     2. If your KMS does not support anonymous users, choose 'guest override' to make this page public to all users.

About

Embed code is used to embed Kaltura media in a website, HTML page, or any other online tool. The Embed module allows administrators to make this functionality available to users (depending on their role) through the Share tab located on the Media Page in MediaSpace and KAF applications.

Configure

Enable the Module

enabled - When enabled, the Share tab is displayed alongside the Details tab for users on a Media page in MediaSpace and KAF applications. Users can click on the Share tab to find various sharing media options. See the example below.

Secure Embed

secureEmbed - Setting secureEmbed to Yes, provides an additional layer of protection, by which users will first have to log in to view the content. Kaltura MediaSpace entitlements will be enforced on media that is embedded in external sites. When embedding restricted or private media to your sites and blogs, you will be prompted to authenticate (if not already authenticated). The media will play if a user is authorized to watch the media according to the entitlements defined in MediaSpace. Otherwise, a message will be displayed that they are not authorized to watch the media.

In the iframe embed example below, secureEmbed is set to No.

<iframe id="kaltura_player" src="http://cdnapi.kaltura.com/p/2311101/sp/231110100/embedIframeJs/uiconf_id/40179251/partner_id/2311101?iframeembed=true&playerId=kaltura_player&entry_id=1_3inimdwj&flashvars[streamerType]=auto&amp;flashvars[localizationCode]=en&amp;flashvars[leadWithHTML5]=true&amp;flashvars[sideBarContainer.plugin]=true&amp;flashvars[sideBarContainer.position]=left&amp;flashvars[sideBarContainer.clickToClose]=true&amp;flashvars[chapters.plugin]=true&amp;flashvars[chapters.layout]=vertical&amp;flashvars[chapters.thumbnailRotator]=false&amp;flashvars[streamSelector.plugin]=true&amp;flashvars[EmbedPlayer.SpinnerTarget]=videoHolder&amp;flashvars[dualScreen.plugin]=true&amp;&wid=1_nl9vrlrr" width="400" height="285" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozAllowFullScreen frameborder="0" title="Kaltura Player"></iframe>

In the iframe embed example below, secureEmbed is set to Yes.

<iframe id="kmsembed-1_3inimdwj" width="400" height="285" src="http://2311101.mediaspace.kaltura.com/embed/secure/iframe/entryId/1_3inimdwj/uiConfId/40179251?flashvars[streamerType]=auto&amp;flashvars[localizationCode]=en&amp;flashvars[leadWithHTML5]=true&amp;flashvars[sideBarContainer.plugin]=true&amp;flashvars[sideBarContainer.position]=left&amp;flashvars[sideBarContainer.clickToClose]=true&amp;flashvars[chapters.plugin]=true&amp;flashvars[chapters.layout]=vertical&amp;flashvars[chapters.thumbnailRotator]=false&amp;flashvars[streamSelector.plugin]=true&amp;flashvars[EmbedPlayer.SpinnerTarget]=videoHolder&amp;flashvars[dualScreen.plugin]=true&amp;" class="kmsembed" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozAllowFullScreen frameborder="0" title="Kaltura Player"></iframe>

As you can see from the above examples, when secureEmbed is set to No, the iframe embed code displays a direct link to the media. When secureEmbed is set to Yes, the iframe embed code displays a direct link to MediaSpace which requires the user to enter login credentials to view the content.

For additional information about this feature, see Enhanced Settings for Secure Embed in KMS/KAF.

If secureEmbed is set to Yes, additional functionality is displayed.

Additional Functionality for Secure Embed

autoRedirect - 

Select Yes to automatically redirect the user to the SSO login page in case the user is not authenticated with MediaSpace. (If the user is globally authenticated, they will be auto-authenticated by MediaSpace and then redirected back to the page with the video.) In the example below, the user is not globally authenticated, therefore the Sign In page displays.  

Select No to display a message to the user so that the user can manually select when/whether to re-authenticate. In the example below, the user has not been automatically redirected and must manually click "Click here to login" to log in to MediaSpace.  

autoReirectiframe - 

When autoRedirect is set to Yes and autoRedirectIframe is set to No (default), the redirect for authentication will use the top browser window. 

When autoRedirect is set to Yes and autoRedirectIframe is set to Yes, the redirect will occur in the iframe.

autoRedirectMessageHTML - HTML text to display while the user is auto-redirected to the login page. In the example below, the HTML text was set to "Please login with your MediaSpace credentials."

notAuthenticatedHTML - HTML text (may include links) to display inside the iFrame if autoRedirect is set to No. In the example below, the HTML text was set to "Not authenticated".

notAuthorizedHTML - HTML text (may include links) to display inside the iFrame in case Kaltura Entitlement authorization fails.

In the example below, the HTML text was set to "You are not authorized to view this media". The user was prompted to log into KMS and authentication was successful, but upon doing so, was unable to access the media because the user did not have the authorization to view the media.   

Note: If you wish to further restrict users from viewing media in KMS, you may consider disabling allowAnonomous in the Auth module.

noCategoryEmbedAccessHTML - HTML text (may include links) to display inside the Embed tab of an entry page accessed not via a category/channel/gallery when requireCategoryContext is set to Yes.

In the example below, requireCategoryContext was set to Yes and the user did not access the entry page via a category/channel/gallery. In other words, the user attempted to grab an embed of an entry from a category/channel that prevents embed grabbing. The HTML text was set to that shown in the orange shaded box.

noCategoryPlayAccessHTML - HTML text (may include links) to display inside the iFrame when category-level embed grab and play are disabled for the category/gallery from where embed was originally grabbed, and/or when requireCategoryContext is set to Yes and a (legacy) secured embed is missing a category context. In the example below, the HTML text was set to "Playback of this content is only allowed on its original publishing destination. Please contact owner or support".

overrideCSSURL - URL to an alternate Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) to allow a customer to customize the iFrame design to fit the corporate style guide.

categoryLevelEmbed - Allow KMS category/channel (or KAF course gallery) managers to prevent grabbing and playing embed content from a specific category. Depends on CategoryEmbed/ChannelEmbed modules. For more information see Enhanced Settings for Secure Embed in KMS/KAF.

requireCategoryContext - Set to Yes, in conjunction with categoryLevelEmbed set to Yes, to make sure embeds are only grabbed from category/gallery contexts. Grabbing an embed from a regular (context-less) entry page will not be allowed. NOTE: Setting this to Yes will cause secured embeds that lack a category context to stop authorizing playback. The requireCategoryContext field should only be enabled for customers not already using the secureEmbed feature. Otherwise, secured embeds already embedded will play content that was previously accessible. Again, for more information see Enhanced Settings for Secure Embed in KMS/KAF.

Allow/Restrict Sharing Using iFrame

allowEmbedIframeShare - Allow/Restrict sharing using iFrame. This configuration is only supported for non-v2 supported players. When allowEmbedIframeShare is set to No, the option to choose iframe embed is eliminated. 

Enable/Disable Responsive Sizing

embedResponsiveness - Enable/Disable the' Responsive Sizing' option in the embed view. When enabled, the Responsive Sizing toggle button is displayed on the Share > Embed tab.

Select the User Roles Allowed to Embed

embedAllowed - Select one or more roles that can use the Embed functionality. In the following example, viewerRole, privateOnlyRole, adminRole, and unmoderatedAdminRole are all allowed to use the Embed functionality.

Define Skins For the Embedded Players

embedSkins - Define skins that can be used for embedded players. When configured, the Player Skin options are displayed on the Share > Embed tab.

Additional Information on Skins

name - What is the name of the skin? The skin name is displayed when the user selects an embedded skin.

imgFile - What is the relative path to the image file on the server? The image file represents how the skin looks.

uiConfId - What is the numerical value of the player ID to use in the embed code?

Define Sizes For the Embedded Players

embedSizes - Define sizes that can be used for embedded players. Define the player size in the following format: {width}x{height}

• large 608x402
• medium 400x285
• small 304x231

Once enabled, ‘created by’ links will redirect the user to the creator’s profile page instead of a search page.

Presented Sessions

Users set as presenters (see presenters module), will have an additional tab on their profile showing all users the media in which they are presenting, per the viewing user's entitlements permissions. 

Watch List

The watch list tab, viewed by the profile owner only, will show the user’s their watch list (Admins permission required in the watchlater module).

This module allows you to add users to show as presenters to show on top of media entries. Once enabled, on each edit entry page, a new tab will show, allowing the owner of the entry to add a presenter. Note: This module replaces the kwebcast presenters, and deletes any users already used in kwebcast entries.

By default, media that is uploaded is private. In order for other MediaSpace users to be able to publish it, you need to enable the Publish module. Here how:

1. From the Admin page, navigate to Publish.
   
2. In the Publish window, set enabled to Yes. 
   
3. Set the entry privacy status (default is Private).
   defaultPublishStatusOnUpload - Define the default privacy for each newly uploaded media as follows: 
   • Private - media will be visible to the content owner only
   • Unlisted - this allows the media owner to control the privacy mode. An unlisted entry can be viewed by anyone with the link to the entry page.

     Note that this configuration is applicable only if Unlisted mode is enabled on your MediaSpace instance. You can check if it is enabled under Application > enableUnlisted.

   • published - when you choose published, PublishedChannel option displays:
     • PublishedChannel - allows you to set all uploaded media to automatically be published to a pre-selected channel. (Auto Publish)
     • Click Select Channel. 
     • Enter the channel name or ID in the box that opens.
     • Click Submit or Cancel.
4. Set more parameters:
   manPublish - This allows entries to be published to a list of categories from the menu, media, and upload. Disable this if you don't have access to the list of categories.
   AppearsInIndicator - Setting it to Show enables the 'Appears In' indication on the media page and in the global search.
   crossApplicationUnpublishing - This allows users to set content as private in one application and has it private across all other applications.
5. Click Save.

With the recycle bin module, you can activate a recycle bin for your KMS/LMS, empowering users to restore deleted items within a specified timeframe. Deleted items are temporarily stored in the recycle bin before permanent deletion. Once enabled, the recycle bin option will automatically appear in your video portal's navigation menu and as a button in your LMS.

1. Go to your KMS or KAF admin page, and navigate to the Recyclebin module. Your link should look like this: https://{your_KMS_URL}/admin/config/tab/recyclebin.

The Recyclebin window displays.

2. Set enabled to 'Yes'.

3. Click Save.

About 

Use the Related module to display related media items on the media page in KMS and KAF applications. Entries are displayed in a vertical list, in descending order from top to bottom, according to the entry's weight. For example, when displaying related videos by the number of matching tags per entry, an entry with three matching tags will appear above an entry with two matching tags.

Entries are categorized as related based on the following criteria:

• Entries that are published to galleries and channels, that are under the same root category.
• Entries a user is entitled to see.
• Entries with at least one identical tag to the main entry (excluding the main entry itself).
• Entries published to a restricted category (a category to which all logged-in users can view its content and only members or admin roles can contribute content to) are not displayed as related media.

Setup

1. Go to your KMS/KAF configuration management.
2. Navigate to the Related module,  or simply go to https://[Your_domain].kaltura.com/admin/config/tab/related.
3. Select Yes to enable the module.
4. Enter a number to limit the related videos displayed on the media page.
5. Click Save.

Example

The graphic below demonstrates the related media on the media page.

ReplaceMedia

Media owners can replace their media, while keeping metadata, URL and analytics in place. The same functionality as in the KMC is available in KMS and is configurable in the Replacemedia module.

Only video entries may be replaced. Any time-based metadata on the entry will be kept in place and may be out of sync with the new media, The metadata should be manually adjusted.

This module allows advanced MediaSpace admins to configure the rules that search engines will follow when crawling the sites.
When this module is enabled, the site exposes the "robots.txt" file (with the content as configured by the admin).

For more information, please visit:
http://www.robotstxt.org/robotstxt.html

Please see the Kaltura MediaSpace™ SAML Integration Guide for the setup configuration.

This module allows you to allow users to Authenticate into MediaSpace using the SAML 2.0 standard.

1. In the SAML module configuration, select Yes to enable the SAML module.
2. Enter values for the following:

Parameter	Description
metadataMode	Select Manual or Automatic.
enableMultiIdp	Enable using multiple IDPs (requires MultiAuth to be enabled)
loginRedirectUrl	The URL to redirect the user when authentication is required (relevant only if metadata mode is set to Manual).
logoutRedirectUrl	The URL to redirect the user after logo. NOTE: This field is only applicable if useInternalLogoutPage is set to "No" and metadataMode is set to "Manual". When the MediaSpace session expires, the user is redirected to this URL, along with a SAML logout request. This request is made via POST request. MediaSpace does not expire login session from the identity provider. For the logout request, MediaSpace uses the value that was provided in the NameID element in the SAML login request.
relayStateUrlParam	The parameter name that the IdP uses to pass the URL to redirect the user back after a successful login. This defines the default place to redirect the user to in case it is not passed as part of request. For example for PingFederate it would be TARGET. For other SAML providers it is typically RelayState.
enableMetadataEndPoint	Customers that require a standard XML response that exposes the metadata configured on the Service Provider side, can use this configuration. This will expose the configured parameters of the SAML module through the following URL: http://[MediaSpace Server]/saml/index/sp-metadata
useInternalLogoutPage	If set to “Yes” logout will expire the MediaSpace session and display message to user but will not redirect to IdP logout page. For example:
allowKeepAlive	When Yes, session will be extended upon user's interaction. Default is No.
logoutText	If useInternalLogoutPage is set to Yes you can define a custom message to users. You can use HTML tags to display a message.
shouldNestRelayState	Select whether to concatenate the relay state as query-string or as URL-encoded query string.
shouldPost	When set to Yes, the SAML request will be posted instead of using get. Default is No.
shouldDecodeRelayState	When set to Yes, RelayState will be decoded before redirect..

About

Administrators can use the Templatepages module to create multiple pages containing different components suitable for each page. Once a template page is configured, use the CustomPages module and set it with its own unique URL and permissions.

To learn more, visit Create and use a template page. 

Get started

1. Go to your KMS admin page, and navigate to the Templatepages module. Your link should look like this: https://{your_site_url}/admin/config/tab/templatepages 

2. Enable the module by setting enabled to 'Yes'.

3. Click the +Add TemplatePage button. This will allow you to create a page from any of the template pages. 

General page settings

At the top of your new template page there are 3 general page fields:

pageName - Enter a name for your page. This name will be presented in other modules when prompted to select a template page from a drop-down list. For example, in the Custompages module.

pageTitle - Enter a title for the page. This title will show on the browsers' tabs names.

pageHeader - Enter a header for the page (optional field). This header will show on the top of the page only when using a Hero unit.

Page elements

There are 3 types of elements on the page that as a page builder you can choose from:

• Navigation Bar
• Hero Unit
• Components

 Below you will find the information on each type.

Navigation bar

For each page, a navigation bar will be presented. You can choose from two types of navbars: Site Navigation or Clean NavBar.

Site navigation

This navbar will present the same navbar as the site's navigation. This navbar is controlled from the navigation module, and will be the same on all the site's pages.

Clean navbar

This navbar will provide simplified and clean navigation. Limited to a call to action button and a custom logo, this will provide different settings for the page.

If you choose a clean navbar, an additional window displays: 

Configure the following fields:

logoImageUpload - Upload your own or use the site's logo.

logoAltText - enter alternate text for the logo

logoLink - Select the click behavior of the logo

If you'd like to present a call to action button, fill in the callToAction section.

If you'd like to present the language selector (assuming it is available on the site), set the showLanguageSelector field to 'Yes'.

Hero unit

A hero unit is a component that can only be available at the top of the page. This is for a few reasons, mainly because of the interaction with the navbar and its transparency. It's not mandatory to have a hero unit on the page. 

You can select from two types of hero units: Player Carousel or Text & Counter. 

Player carousel

This hero will present a dynamic carousel, playing back a list of live or VOD media on a muted player to create a feeling of a live site and moving elements. The Video is muted, and cannot be played in the ordinary way - you could consider it as a carousel of GIFs. 

There are 3 sets of media that can be displayed on the carousel: Live events, VOD playlist, or Images.

• liveCategory - select the category from which the live sessions will show. Leave it empty to not show live media on the banner. 

Select a fallback option - 'VOD Playlist' or 'Images and CTA list' (see how to configure these below below).

• VOD list - Select a playlist to show using the vodPlaylist section. Note that the available playlist types include a custom playlist and a channel playlist. If no VOD list is selected, the hero unit will not show on the page. Live media will be presented at their scheduled time. Meaning, if the event is not live, the player and carousel will not show. If no media is live at that moment, the hero will fall back to present either on the player the VOD list of media or the images.

• Image List - You can add up to 8 images to the hero carousel. In the imageCarousel window, configure the following:

• uploadHeroImage - Upload the image you want in your hero.
• imageAlt - Add an alt text string (this will be shown if the image doesn't load immediately)
• Title - Add a title or wording you want to be shown on the image. 
• Description - Add short description to be shown on the image (optional). 
• Add a CTA url - Add a link for the users to navigate to when they click the CTAbutton.
• callToActionText - Add text you want to show on the CTA button. 

You can add more images to the hero carousel by clicking +Add "ImageCarousel" repeating the steps above.

For more than one image, you will need to type the carousel transitions interval (in seconds) in the carouselInterval field. For the best results, it is recommended to have a 30-second transition time.

The image below is our hero with the imageCarousel configuration:

Text & Counter

This hero will show static texts and selected background at the top of the page with the option to add a time counter.

1. Enter the Title and Description to show at the top of the unit.
2. Fill in a Start and End Date(fill in both or none) to show a "from...to" element on the screen below the description. Acceptable date formats: 
   • Unix Timestamp - Example: 1580518923 (look for 'unix timestamp converter' in any browser)
   • String format under the UTC time zone (Example: 2020-02-01T01:02:03)
3. Add a Call to Action button. You can add 1 or 2 buttons, that will show up as a Primary and Secondary. 
4. Add a Time Counter to your hero unit, counting down to a specific time and date. The counter will disappear once it reaches the deadline. 
5. Upload a Background atmospheric image for the hero. We recommended a 1920x1080 resolution, with no text to prevent clashing with the formatted text on the hero.

The image below shows the hero with the Text & Counter configuration:

Components

Click +Add "components" to create a new component. 

All components have a few shared fields:

Type - Select the type of component you want: Text only, Single Playlist, 2 Images Side by Side, News Images, Registration, Collection of channels, Banner & CTA or Group of users.

Order - Fill in a number (larger than 0) for the order in which the components will appear on the page, for example 1 = highest position on the page. However, we suggest using large, non-consecutive numbers such as 10, 20, 30, as this will allow for simple changes in the future. For example, if you want to add a new component between the first and the second component, you can call it 15 and you won't have to renumber all your components.

Allowed Groups - This feature allows you to limit the visibility of each component to a selected set of users in a group/s. Leave empty to show to all users.

Text only

This component is simple text which is centered on the page. The text color and background can be set (as shown in the example below).

Settings example:

Settings result:

Single playlist

This component shows a list of media in the form of a carousel. 

headerText - Enter a title to show at the top left of your playlist(s).

headerLinkText - If you don't enter any text, the default "See All" is automatically set and will take the users to the playlist page.

Select the content of the playlist from the playlist section. (If you choose Custom playlist, see note* below.)

The forceShowContent will allow you to override entitlements for the playlist. However, the content will not be clickable.
(The "See All" link will also be removed or redirected to a link of your choosing in the headerLinkAction field.)

*If you select Custom Playlist, you have additional configurations:

playlistID - Enter the ID for your custom playlist.

PlaylistDisplay - Choose how the playlist is displayed when the viewer clicks "See All" - as a grid layout or as the playlist player page with the list of other entries in the playlist.

itemsPerPage - Select how many thumbnails you want to display on the page.

Time Shift -  Set a time in minutes where the the media will shift one thumbnail to the left. Leave empty to disable.

The image below shows a playlist configuration with three thumbnails:

Two images side by side

Configure the left and right images using one of the following three options: image entry ID, image URL or image upload. 

callToActionUrl - Add a link to navigate the users to. The link will open in a new tab. If left empty, the image will not be clickable.

AnalyticsString - This adds the "data-analytics" to the image tag. Enter a keyword or intuitive description, for example, 'tools'.

Not to forget - Alt Text for accessibility.

The image below shows two images side by side:

News images

This component shows images with texts in the form of a carousel. Each element on the carousel will open to an article. For information on creating news images, visit our article News Images playlist.

You can change the background color using the modalBoxMaskColor field. 

After you have created a News Images playlist, enter the playlist ID.

Example of our configuration of two News images:

This component makes registering quick and easy for users. By clicking the "Register" button, the registration page opens on the side of the page for easy completion. No need to navigate elsewhere!

title - Enter a title for your registration page, for example, Register for the event.

buttonText - Add any text you want. If you leave the field empty, the default text Register will display.

scheduleTimeFrom - Enter the time you want registration to begin in unix time. Leave empty if you don't want to show a time.

scheduleTimeTo - Enter an end time (unix time). Leave empty if you don't want to show a time. 

inScheduleText - Enter text that you'd like to display while registration is open.

outofScheduleText - Enter text to display after registration has closed.

Below is an example of the Registration component on a MediaSpace site.

Collection of channels

This feature gives users an easy way to explore and access channel collections. Clicking 'See All' will take users to your channel collection page. If you don't have any channel collections yet, you can set them up in the ChannelCollections module. 

headerText - Type in any name you'd like for the component header, for example, 'Our channel collections'.

headerLinkText - Select the text for the component header link (simple text). Leave empty to use the default text.

timeShift - This determines how often each thumbnail in the collection will move to the left. Simply enter a duration in minutes (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4) or leave empty to disable. The channels will appear on the page in the order specified in the ChannelCollections module's 'sortBy' field (the default sort you chose for your channel collection). The timeshift feature ensures that all channels will be displayed over time. 

In the collection window, choose the channel collection you want to display on the page. All your channel collections appear in the drop-down menu.

forceShowContent - Choose 'Yes' to display all collection content to every user, regardless of entitlements. This makes the component unclickable, but you can still choose a different link for the component's items, for example if you want to use this templatepage as an external page / landing page that everyone can see.

headerLinkAction - This is where you can add a link to take your users to the page you choose.

channelsInLine - Choose how many channels you'd like to display on one line - 6 or 8. (Choosing 8 will reduce the size of each circle.) The thumbnails come from your channel. If you've added a banner icon (see our Edit a Channel article), it becomes the thumbnail. Otherwise, the thumbnail uses the banner's central background.

maxLinesNumber - Choose how many lines of channels to display from the drop-down menu. The default is 2 lines.

Below is an example of the Collection of Channels component on a Video Portal site in 2 rows of 8:

Banner & CTA

This component provides a banner with text, a call-to-action button and background image.

HeaderText - Add the text that you want to appear as a title on the banner.

DescriptionText - Add a description or text that you want to display below the header.

Banner image - You have 3 options for adding an image: entryID, imageURL or imageupload. Feel free to upload any image size - the system adjusts it to fit perfectly. It's best to use atmospheric images instead of those with text.

Button - Enter text for the CTA button and the URL that will redirect users when they click it. (Note: If you have text but no URL, the button will not appear on the banner.)

Banner with a short description:

Banner with a long description:

Group of users

This component highlights a group of individuals, such as speakers or presenters, on your site's landing page. It presents a row of thumbnail images (or initials if no image is provided). Clicking on See All opens the group page (configured in the grouppage module) itself. Clicking on a group member's thumbnail opens a window displaying their bio, along with details of their previous or upcoming sessions. To navigate to that person's profile page, simply click on either "See profile page" or "See all sessions".

headerText - Add the text that you want to appear as a title (for example "Meet our Speakers").

headerLinkText - Type the text you want to display on the right for users to click. Leave empty to use the default text “See All”.

group - Choose a group from the allowed groups in the Grouppage module to display its users on the page. Only the first 20 people will show on the page.

uiType - Select how to display group members:

• Carousel - (default) People are displayed in a carousel format with right and left arrows for navigation. Users can scroll left to reach the last user on the list (round-robin).
• Side by Side - People are displayed horizontally next to each other without a carousel.

usersToShow - Select an option:

• Group list - Displays the first 20 people from the chosen group on the page, ordered alphabetically by name (A-Z).
• Promoted users only - Displays only the promoted people from the selected group on the page, following the manual ordering as set on the group page.

timeShift - The group members list will periodically shift by one person to the left. You can specify the duration of the shift in minutes. For example, if you have a group with 30 users and set a 1-minute shift interval, initially users 1 to 20 will be displayed. After 1 minute, users 2 to 21 will be displayed, and this pattern will continue until all users are displayed. Please note that the change will only take effect upon refreshing the page. If you want to disable this feature, simply leave the duration field empty.

Below is an example of a Group of Users component. Clicking See All displays the group page, which is configured in the grouppage module:

Once you have finished configuring, click the Save button, which will save your new page, and will also save and clear the cache for the module and site.

Channel/Course Managers can measure and analyze user engagement and contribution to their channels/courses. These contextual analytics allow channel/course managers to answer important questions such as: What are the most popular videos in the channel/course? Who are the members that watch the most videos and what is their drop-off rate? Who are the members that contribute the most media to the channel/course?

The Userreports & mediaAnalytics fields should be enabled to display the Analytics option. The Analytics dashboard is available for media owners and is accessed from the 'Actions' drop-down of the entry page. As seen in the graphics below:
