Installation Instructions
Step 1: Upload the .xml file to the Product Manager
Step 2: Read the install.txt file for template edit instructions
Step 3: Click INSTALL! (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/vborg_miscactions.php?do=installhack&threadid=117066)

What does this Plugin do?
It let's you and your members display what they are listening to at the time of posting. The user will have to type in what they are listening into the now playing box at posting as there is currently no program that can see what you are listening to at this time.

Screenshots?
Check Below.

Thanks to calorie for major help in fixing some datamanager issues :)

The 3.6.x Version is located here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=117934).

Does the member enter this info manually, or is it read automatically from iTunes/WinAmp/WMP/etc.?

Manual, unless you have a program that I don't know of that can automatically fill in the data ;)

Heh, I had this thread (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=114703) on my brain.

Your screenshots don't show the manual entry screen so I got my hopes up. Still, always nice to see new hacks appear. Thanks for sharing. :)

Nice! Works like a dream...Thank you for sharing!

Lady Divus *Clicks Install*

Edit:
If you want the postbit view to look like the postbit_legacy view, where the song title goes underneath the Now Playing: text,

Go to postbit template
Find:
<b>Now Playing:</b> <smallfont>$post[nowplaying]</smallfont>
Replace with:
<b>Now Playing:</b><br> <smallfont>$post[nowplaying]</smallfont>
Just a little break so it doesnt push your postbit table out...Be well -

In the postbit replace

$post[nowplaying]

with

<span style="color: #ff0000;">$post[nowplaying]</span>

hmmm, you should figure out what msn uses to see what your listening too? I know my Livejournal program also detects what I'm listing to when I post.

would be great if it was automatic.

would be great if it was automatic.
Would require alot of extra coding, things on your computer like msn etc have direct access to this, this would require a plugin or direct system access, which means some very intrusive javascript or an activex control that could be really dangerous.

How do I get the font to be the same size as the rest of the test in the postbit?
And can the artist/song line go under the Now Playing: line?

This code has been tested on the latest version of vBulletin: 3.6 Beta 1 and is known to work.

Installed, and working. But when I use the preview button the text i've written before dissapears. Any suggestion?

The thing I would like is an edit option to this. I tried adding it myself but I didn't succeed. When I would edit my post, it would just disappear altogether. I would love to see that feature added :).

Other than that great hack! I've slightly customized it to fit my needs (I didn't need a Now Playing hack, but I did need a field added to the post) so thank you so much! I appreciate the work put into this.

Getting this error:

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'nowplaying' in 'field list'

Install died on my the first time, so I assume I have some latent tables lying around. I can't uninstall it, I get this:

Invalid SQL:
ALTER TABLE vb3_post DROP nowplaying;

MySQL Error : Can't DROP 'nowplaying'; check that column/key exists
Error Number : 1091

So I tried overwriting it, but no joy. It looks like it's not creating the table. I tried adding it manually, but wasn't entirely the sure on the settings.

Edit: Want to mention that the bad install isn't the hack's fault, it's my cablemodem suffering from some really bad timing when importing.

Hi
Thanks for a nice hack, which installed without problems on my vB 3.5.4. I've considered a vB upgrade to 3.6.3. Do I have to uninstall my current version of Now Playing before upgrading and then install the 3.6. version or is there an upgrade option?

Dear Dan, but no editing, please do editing.
