Change name of Default podcast channel
« on: December 09, 2010, 01:41:05 pm »
I'm creating a podcast the will be used to push several types of content including Webcasts(m4a), training(m4v) and Demos(m4v)

My channels look like this

NiTK - Webcast: https://xyz.com/nitk/?feed=podcast
NiTK - Training: https://xyz.com/nitk/?feed=training
NiTK - Demos: https://xyz.com/nitk/?feed=demo

When people on my team make posts, I have them post in the content in a channel based on the type of material.
The problem is that when you go to create a post you have to know that (default) is where you post Webcasts. I want to change 'default' to the actual channel name.
Is this possible? I've tried "define("POWERPRESS_LINKS_TEXT", "Podcast" );" but it seams to only change it on the page once it's posted. I want to change it on the "add new or edit" screen.

The posting area look like this.
 
Podcast Episode (default)
Podcast Episode for Custom Channel: NiTK - Training
Podcast Episode for Custom Channel: NiTK - Demo

Currently no, because it is important to understand that the 'Default' podcast episodes also appear in the blog's main feeds including the example.com/feed/, category feeds and tag feeds.

Are there any ramifications for I ignore the (default) channel and never post anything to it? I'll just post to pure custom channels.

Nope, and that's a great way to make sure your episodes do not appear else where in your WordPress blog. For example, the premium content feature in PowerPress cannot be applied to the default podcast channel for the same reason.

The reason the 'Default' podcast channel works the way it does is for compatibility with the WordPress platform. If you disable PowerPress, WordPress will provide very limited podcasting support for the default podcast episodes you created in PowerPress. If you were already using the very basic podcasting features of WordPress, migrating to PowerPress just requires activating the plugin. On the opposite token, You must use PowerPress for the additional custom channels you create. This is by design.
