Vido – Video Social Media App Template

Here is an example of how to configure Vido - Video Social Media App Template:

Firebase Console Settings

Go to the Firebase console and select your project. Under "General Settings", select the "Web setup" option.

Firebase SDKs Tab

In the Firebase SDKs tab, add a new Firebase project for Vido. Fill in the required information, including:

• Project name: A unique name for your Vido project
• Company name: Your company or organization name
• Logo URL: The URL for your company logo

Click "Create project" and wait for the project to be created.

iOS Settings

In Xcode, go to Vido/AppDelegate.m and add the Firebase configuration code:

#import "Vido/AppDelegate.h"

#define FIREBASE_API_KEY                   @"YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
#define FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID               @"YOUR_PROJECT_ID_HERE"
#define FIREBASE_BUCKET_NAME              @"your-bucket-name.appspot.com"

#define FIREBASE_APP                          [[[FIRApp alloc] initWithOptions:@{} bundle:nil] autorelease];

AppDelegate *appDelegate = (AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];

NSString *const FIREBASE_Credential = @"YOUR_FIREBASE_CREDENTIAL_HERE";

NSArray *const FIREBASE_collectionPaths = @[];

static NSString *const VDOFireBasePath = NSStringFromClass([VDOFirebaseAppDelegateProxy class]);
static int const VDOFirebaseOptions = 0;

#endif

Replace "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" with your Firebase API key, "YOUR_PROJECT_ID_HERE" with your project ID, and "YOUR_FIREBASE_CREDENTIAL_HERE" with your Firebase credentials.

Android Settings

In Android Studio, go to Vido/app/src/main/java/Vido/app/VDOBaseApplication.java and add the Firebase configuration code:

import io.fabric.sdk.android.InitializationException;
import com.google.firebase.FirebaseApp;

public class VDOBaseApplication extends Application {

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();

        FirebaseApp.initializeApp(new FirebaseOptions.Builder()
              .setApiKey("YOUR_API_KEY_HERE")
              .setApplicationId("YOUR_PROJECT_ID_HERE")
              .setFirebaseUrl("https://.firebasedatabase.app")
              .build()));

  }
}

Replace "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" with your Firebase API key and "YOUR_PROJECT_ID_HERE" with your project ID.

PHP Settings

In Vido's PHP file (e.g. controllers/VideoController.php), add the Firebase token generation code:

<?php
App::import('Core', 'Firebase');

function genToken($email) {
    $firebase = Firebase::getInstance();
    return $firebase->getTokken($email);
}

?>

Make sure to replace the email addresses in the genToken function with your intended user email addresses. This function will generate a custom token for each user using their email address.
