Current version: v1.2.0 [See all releases](https://github.com/webinista/webinista-wreadit/releases/). You can also view, edit, or download the [source code](https://github.com/webinista/webinista-wreadit/) from GitHub. #### License Webinista WreadIt is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 3. Some of its dependencies use the MIT 2.0 and Apache 2.0 licenses. ``` This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

You will need: * An Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) bucket. * An IAM user with full access to Polly and read/write access to the S3 bucket. * A key ID and Secret Access Key for the IAM user. ### Development You can also build this plugin from source. This requires having [Node](https://nodejs.org/), PHP, and [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) available on your system. 1. Clone the GitHub repo https://github.com/webinista/webinista-wreadit 2. From `webinista-wreadit` directory, run the following commands: 3. a. `npm install` to install the JavaScript dependencies for the front-end. b. `composer install` to install PHP dependencies. You may also need to install the [php-scoper plugin](https://github.com/humbug/php-scoper/blob/main/docs/installation.md#composer) using `composer bin php-scoper require --dev humbug/php-scoper`. c. Run the `build-wreadit-aws3.sh` script. This script downloads the latest version of the AWS SDK for PHP, extracts the relevant interfaces and common files, and scopes it to the project’s name space. 4. Use `npm run build` to generate the front-end plugin files. 5. Upload the `webinista-wreadit` directory to `/wp-content/plugins/`. Activate the plugin and add your credentials before using. ### External services This plugin connects to Amazon Polly, and Amazon S3. Clicking the _Generate Audio Version_ button sends the following data to Amazon Polly: * The title and text of the blog post. * The slug of the blog post. * The _display name_ of the post’s author. (Manage using the _Display name publicly as_ setting on the _Edit User_ screen.) * Your AWS Key ID. * Your Secret Access Key. * The name of your S3 bucket. Read Amazon’s [Polly FAQs](https://aws.amazon.com/polly/faqs/#topic-2), general [Data Privacy FAQs](https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/data-privacy-faq/), and [AWS Privacy Notice](https://aws.amazon.com/privacy/) to understand how Amazon uses your data. Read the [AWS Customer Agreement](https://aws.amazon.com/agreement/) and [AWS Service Terms](https://aws.amazon.com/service-terms/) to understand your rights and obligations with regard to Amazon’s services. Amazon Polly requires your Key ID and Secret Access Key in order to authenticate the request. Amazon Polly saves the generated audio file to your S3 bucket. Webinista WreadIt uses [S3’s virtual hosting](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/VirtualHosting.html). URLs for audio files use the pattern shown below, unless you’ve set a custom domain. ``` https://.s3..amazonaws.com/ ``` For example, if your bucket name is `myblogsaudio`, your bucket region is `us-east- 2`, and you’ve set a `media/` prefix, your audio URLs will begin with `https://myblogsaudio. s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/media/`. File names begin with the slug of each blog post. Amazon Polly also appends a unique identifier to the name. _Audio files must be publicly readable_ to be available to your listeners. ## Installation 1. Upload the `webinista-wreadit` folder to your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. You can also upload the entire `.zip` file via the plugin page of WordPress by clicking ‘Add New’ and selecting the zip from your computer. 2. Activate the plugin 3. Enter your credentials in the appropriate fields. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Webinista WreadIt” is open source software.
