Looks rather good!
( )I’ve been meaning to write something like this for awhile but I’ve never had a chance as I’ve been swamped with other work.
Definitely a part of my CMS. (Albeit, a modified version of the above – but the same basic idea!)

A question that came often on this WebSite “Should I pay or not?”
If you work for someone, do like me and ask your boss to paid for it.
It work for me….

Is there a problem with your support? I have opened a couple of tickets, which I have had no response from. My access to Plus content seems to have been cut off. My first ticket was sent last Friday….
Also when trying to access the content I get an authentication error which directs me to a link that doesn’t go anywhere – http://eden.helpserve.com/

So far, I’m loving this tutorial.
I am having problems with the audio/video synchronization… a few minutes in, the audio falls behind by a few seconds and is confusing.
I would also like to know how I can download these videos….this one is 2.5 hours long…don’t feel like waiting on it load so I can skip around.
( )Moneyxl November 5th
Yeah how can I download this, don’t have time to watch now and would like to watch later…help pls? I’m a plus member btw.
( )Christer November 5th
The audio/video sync error should be fixed. I find it very confusing to see him type one thing, and talk about something else.
Is there any way that you guys can fix this problem? And don’t you have someone with QA responsibility?
( )Ashit Vora November 5th
Audio is not properly synced with Video. Did anyone else faced the same problem???
( )Ashit Vora November 5th
Oh!!! I didnt see the comments above.
Anyways I’m now downloading the mp4 using the link posted above.
Thanks buddy!
( )Nathan Ledet November 5th
Even if you download the MP4 directly, the audio is still out of sync.
SinSoda November 5th
Try downloading the vid, and then playing it with VLC. Then, just adjust audio delay…
( )Jeffrey Way November 5th
Hey guys. I’m going to look over the video and fix it. I apologize for the trouble.
Nathan Ledet November 6th
Thanks Jeffrey.
David Moreen November 5th
Oh this is cool, not just he functionality but the design. Thanks in advanced Tutsplus.
( )David Moreen November 5th
I just realized that is was in CodeIgniter. Thumbs down

( )Paul du Long November 6th
What’s wrong with CI ?
esranull November 6th
oldukça farklı bir seçenek teşekkür ederim
( )hajerski November 6th
Is there any chance to get downloadable version? It’s a little hard to watch over 2.30h via web browser. If i try to download via Flashgot it’s rejecting my connections.
( )Nathan Ledet November 6th
There is a download link in your control panel now
( )Nathan Ledet November 6th
Hey Jeff,
Any updates on that video? I noticed you added a Download link in the members area (Thanks!!!) but I re-downloaded the video and still have sync issues
( )Connor Zwick November 6th
Hi Guys,
It looks like it was an issue with my screencast software. I’m fixing and re-uploading now.
Sorry about the delay! (I would have done it immediately but I was out of town)
( )Nathan Ledet November 6th
Anxiously awaiting!!
Do the folks of TutsPlus have to do anything once you’ve uploaded the fixed version? or will it be downloadable as soon as you upload it to wherever?
Let me know – been wanting to watch this video
( )Connor Zwick November 7th
The folks at TutsPlus are very quick and will take care of it as fast as possible.
Paul du Long November 8th
Is it already fixed?:)
Nathan Ledet November 9th
I’m watching what appears to be an updated version. I’m 10 minutes in and the audio is synced up…so far
the new version is titled screencast.flv
Kamil Grzegorczyk November 10th
Altough tutorial is very, very interesting I have found some issues which aren’t nice in Plus tutorial:
1. naming convetion – sometimes functions are named using “_”, sometimes it is a Camel Case. I think that Code Igniter has some “good practice” rules about it And if we aren`t sticking to them strictly we should use the same naming convention accross whole tutorial.
2. Audio synchronisation – it is just terrible. Even on updated version. I would like to remind that this is not regular free tutorial but tutorial from “famous” plus so some level of quality has to be maintained.
Anyway it is a very good tutorial which I`m happy from
( )Kamil Grzegorczyk November 10th
Does anybody went to the end of course?
I have stopperd at 120min and tried to use files included as final_app but it is not working for me
( )web design services stoke November 10th
This looks like something I will definiately be investing in. Great!
( )dave November 10th
holy moly!
It ballooned from 370 MB to 896 MB !!
I hope its worth it.
( )Kamil Grzegorczyk November 14th
I’m bumping up
so… does anybody went to the end of this tutorial?
( )Gordon November 18th
What editor is it your using Connor? (Or if anyone else knows)
It looks like inType, but with some additional menu options, but I can’t make the name or icon out properly in the screencast. I am on the hunt for a good one just now having been pushed out of Aptana now it’s ditched it’s PHP plugin. I enjoyed inType and looks along the same lines so keen to find out…
