About the Library

This library has been created by members of the HOP forums as a way of giving back to the community. Anyone can become a member and add to the Library after they have used the forums.

Payment for helping

As a way of saying thanks for good additions to the library we also provide credits to your account for purchasing product, however if you want to do it for the love of it, we appreciate that too.

Need help uploading?

Our admin staff are happy to answer any questions and even upload and create the lesson pages on your behalf (or you can upload them yourself).

What is on each page?

In the middle of the page is the basic description of the lesson. Below that will be a list of any related discussion threads in the forums.

On the right hand side are any extra media files (videos, pictures etc..) that can be downloaded or played on your computer.
Near the bottom of the page is a comments section which members can use to thank the person who created the lesson, add to the information or to ask a question.

Clicking on the media name will begin the viewing process.

NOTE: All media is strictly for personal use only. You may not sub-license, rent, assign, sell or otherwise deal in the rights of the media without written authorization from the people who have uploaded them.

What type of files can be uploaded?

This can only be done by those with lesson privileges to supply or help with lessons.

The following file types can be uploaded: .avi,.wmv,.mpeg,.mpg,.rm,.ram,.swf,.gif,.jpg,.txt,.pdf,.flv,.m4v,.mp4

Maximum file size is 5Mb / lesson. If it is larger and worthy it can be uploaded if approved by the Site administrator.

Discussing the lesson?

If you want to discuss the lesson or find out more then click on the threads at the bottom of the page called "Related discussion thread".

Please make sure you read through all the other peoples posts before replying to the thread or asking a question as someone else may have already posted a solution.

Anyone can read the discussion threads, however only site members can add/reply to them. To become a registered member click here.

How can I upload my own lessons for others to see?

This can only be done by members with lesson privileges to supply or help with lessons.
Or the Site administrator can do all the uploading on your behalf and you will still be credited as the uploader/copyright holder..

If you are a new registered member and wish to contribute then please contact the Site administrator with what you can help with.

You can then create new pages,edit them, join lessons to the discussion board threads and upload various media to help explain your and others' lessons.

You must own copyright of the media before you can upload. All uploads must follow the site rules.

If a new folder (eg. juggling,contact,fans etc..) and/or booklet/s are required then contact the Site administrator to do this for you.

Who can help upload the lesson?

If you want the Site administrator can convert and upload all media and create the page for you. You will still be credited as the uploader/copyright holder.

How can I join a discussion thread to a lesson?

This can only be done by members with lesson privileges to supply or help with lessons.

When editing the page you will find additional functions for adding/deleting discussion threads. A search box will automatically find you the 10 best possible matches.

However you may also search through or browse the discussion board until you find a relavent thread. Then scroll to the bottom of the thread page where you will find a function called "join to lesson". Use this function to join the thread to a single lesson. Repeat the process to join to additional/multiple lessons.

How else can I help this free project?

Apart from uploading lessons we also require, from time to time, some help in keeping the structure of the lessons easy to follow.

If you wish to help in that area then please contact the Site administrator.
