Installing the HWDMediaShare Component

Installing HWDMediaShare is no different than installing any other Joomla!™ extension on your site. You can find the official Joomla!™ instructions for installing extensions on the official help page.

Getting the official installation package(s):

You can obtain the latest release of the HWDMediaShare component by visiting http://www.hwdmediashare.co.uk. Just log in via the "Account" menu item, then click the "Your Downloads" tab. Proceed to download the latest HWDMediaShare installation zip file.

Attention Mac OS X users! The Safari browser automatically extracts the ZIP file into a directory and then removes the ZIP file needed for a Joomla!™ install. To install the extension in Joomla!™ you must select that directory, right-click on it, then select "Compress" to yield a ZIP file as required by the Joomla!™ installer.

Installing the component

After you have downloaded the package, you must then login to the Joomla™ Administrator area of your website. To access this area, enter the url in your browser as: http://www.yoursite.com/administrator/. Replace "yoursite.com" with your actual domain name. Enter your Administrator Username and Password, then click the "Login" button to proceed.
Once logged in, move your mouse pointer to the "Extensions" menu item at the top, then click the "Extension Manager" item.
Next, click on the "Choose File" button located under the "Upload Package File" area.
You will now be presented with a local file browser. This window allows you to browse your computer. Locate the zip file you've downloaded as explained above under, "Getting the official installation package(s)". Now click on the zip file to highlight it, then click the "Open" button in this window.
You should now notice that the "No file chosen" dialogue in the cell next to the "Choose File" button has been replaced with the location of the zip file selected in step 4. Click the "Upload And Install" button to install HWDMediaShare!
If the installation was a success you will be presented with the dialogue, "Installing component was successful" in a blue bar and your Administration screen will be parked at the Dashboard of HWDMediaShare!
That's it! HWDMediaShare is now installed on your Joomla™ website.

An Absolute Beast

This is just an impeccable bit of code, how they do it, I dont know. But they have worked out every single nook and cranny to ensure you run a smooth online business. Just amazing.

Pure awesomeness

Simply one of the best extensions in Joomla, and the best bar none to create a Joomla video gallery. I've used hwdMediaShare in more that ten sites and could not be happier.

OUTSTANDING Support

Fantastic, easy to use component. Very well thought out from both a user's and administrative perspective. Highly recommended to add interactivity and return visits to a website.

Always improving

The best video extension around. It's great to see the developer continuing to support this extension and improve on it. The best feature I find with this extension is it plays external site videos like youtube.

Great video extension

Installed easily on Joomla 1.7 and was easy to implement. Other video extensions I tried didn't have the features found in hwdvideoshare. There is great documentation for helping with setup and hosting.

The best

This is the best solution for video galleries period. Support is top notch, post your problems on the forum and the dev gets back to you with solutions or offers to fix it for you.
