We are almost done. In this blog post we are going to see how to finalize our configuration of 365 Tube, our Youtube-like Podcast library for Office 365 (http://365tube.codeplex.com/).
The last step is the creation of a new site collection on our Office 365 Plan E environment and deploy the WSP package that you can find directly here http://365tube.codeplex.com/releases/view/86355. The steps to follow are:
- Create a new site collection with a custom template
- Upload the 365 Tube wsp file and activate it
- Open SharePoint 2010 Designer to configure the connection between Office 365 and Transloadit.com
Create a site collection
Go and create a new site collection on your Office 365 administrative console.
Create a new site collection. Specify the name you like but ensure to choose to select a template later on (located in the “Custom” tab):
The creation of the site collection will take a moment.
Upload the 365 Tube wsp and activate it
In this step we access the site collection that we created before. We are not going to choose the template from the standard templates, but upload our WSP template that you can download from Codeplex http://365tube.codeplex.com/releases/view/86355.
We have to click on “Solution Gallery” and upload the WSP file. The next screen should appear. Activate the solution.
When reopening the page we should be able to find a new template under the tab “Custom”. Choose the 365 Tube template and confirm the site creation.
this operation might take some time. You might even encounter a page not found. Just wait a couple of minutes and try to login again to the page.
Finalize the configuration
If everything went fine, then you should see a page similar to next screen.
We finalize our configuration by telling our 365 Tube solution which Transloadit.com template to use when uploading new videos. We saved the Transloadit.com auth key and template id on our last blog post. Now we are going to integrate them into the 365 Tube solution.
This step is easily done by using SharePoint 2010 Designer. Simply open the site collection and locate the Upload.aspx file in the root folder as shown in the next picture:
Locate on this page the row with the hidden input field:
<input type="hidden" name="params" value="{"auth":{"key":"your_transloadit_auth_key"},"template_id":" your_transloadit_template_id","redirect_url":"http://example.org/upload"}" />
Replace the “your_transloadit_auth_key” and “your_transloadit_template_id” with the auth key and template id we created before and save the page. We are ready to use the solution now. 
Summary
In this last blog post we saw how to finalize the configuration of the 365 Tube project located on http://365tube.codeplex.com/. Just get in touch with us through the Codeplex project page if you have further questions.
Stay tuned,
