Prepare Steel for Matchstix

Classes inventory

All classes were moved from inside another file to its own file in a new inc directory. They were also renamed in the process.

Deprecated classes will NOT be ported to Matchstick or included in Steel 2.0.

Note

For backwards compatibility, all of the widgets have duplicates; one of each has the old classname and one of each has the new classname. The widgets with the old classname will be removed in Steel 2.0.

Broadcast

Create audio or video series to display on website or publish on podcast feed

Note: This was originally going to be called the Podcast module, but has been renamed to Broadcast. The changes may or may not be reflected in the section below, but we are working on it. 😄

• New post type: Media Series (steel_broadcast) based on schema.org Creative Work Series
• New taxonomy: Channel (steel_broadcast_channel) based on iTunes RSS channel

Edit screen

Add media to series

• Items can be moved around to a particular order
• Title is prefilled with the filename (i.e. 092814)
• Publish date is prefilled with upload date, which may or may not be the date of the recording
• The artist/speaker field is prefilled with the Artist field in Media window (empty by default)
• Data is saved to attachment
• Attachments can be attached to episode (i.e. PowerPoint, video, PDF) (see Feature: Multiple files per media series item #169)
• Items can be toggled to display details or just title and bottom bar (use dashicons-arrow-up and dashicons-arrow-down) (see Toggle Broadcast media items #176)

Edit Podcast Channel

Media Series (which are collections of episodes) belong to Broadcast Channels. Each broadcast channel comes with an archive for display and a custom iTunes RSS feed available at yoursite.com/feed/broadcast/{channel-slug}/.
