MediaCore is used on Indie Music for Haiti to promote indie bands who are willing to donate their music to the people of Haiti. The concept for the site is that members of the general public can come and view videos submitted by indie artists, and if they like the videos they can donate to Voice of Haiti which is a non-profit group helping on the ground in Haiti.
MediaCore is integrated into the site and is used in combination with WordPress, which controls the homepage blog. The latest videos are automatically pulled from MediaCore and displayed in WordPress in a grid format. (See the first screenshot with 8 images pulled from MediaCore at the top)
Here’s what is special about how IndieMusicForHaiti.com is using MediaCore:
- Customized MediaCore theme
- Users can upload videos or submit YouTube or Vimeo URL’s
- Integration with WordPress.
- Videos are embeddable
Integrating WordPress with MediaCore is quite easy. We’ve got a number of plugins written for WordPress, which we are now testing and hope to release soon. If you are interested in beta testing our plugins please sign up for our beta testers mailing list.
