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.

[Azhrialilu]

Nice idea :) would there be any way of getting it to pull the information from a last.fm account to grab the song playing?

I removed the product and took out template edits, still cant post to site!

[yesfans]

I loaded the Product back to the site and I am able to post. If remove it I get the above error!

[RaptureM3]

Sorry a little off-topic, but how do you get the username bar on top (like in the first pic) and on the left (like in the second pic)?

Is this an option in vBulletin?

[theodonnells]

Can you edit the now playing text if a member uses explicit words?

[pete_brady]

i think he was thinking more of an automated way of adding the single song which is be played

[pete_brady]

i think he was thinking more of an automated way of adding the single song which is be played

that's what it does.

you install the last.fm plug in for your media player of choice; you play some tunes; your last.fm profile is updated; the tunes show up in your sig.

you can modify the last.fm code to show the 1,2,10 etc most recent tracks. using it on my forum right now.

[reteep]

Special Characters are not being displayed correctly, how to fix that?

e.g. ä ö ü

[Hornstar]

On my site members have sigs that display what they are currently listening to on windows media player.

[y2krazy]

Does that work with 3.6.0, pete?

[Dan]

Yes this mod works with 3.6.0.... which is why it's in the 3.6.0 modifactions area.

[pete_brady]

Does that work with 3.6.0, pete?

the last.fm thing? sure.

Thanks for this Hack and for your modification. It Look very Nice ;)

Installed :)

[Guest210212002]

I realize that this is pretty old, hopefully you can help me sort it out. :)

Somewhere along the line about a year ago my mysql server died in the middle of installing the old version. Since then I've always wanted to get this sucker to work, but I have a handful of problems.

For one, I can't uninstall the old plugin. I believe it's because it's looking for DB tables that don't exist:


Database error in vBulletin 3.6.3:

Invalid SQL:
ALTER TABLE vb3_post DROP nowplaying;

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


If I install this version and allow overwrite, then enable it, I get this DB error:


Invalid SQL:
INSERT INTO vb3_post
(showsignature, allowsmilie, username, userid, title, pagetext, iconid, visible, nowplaying, dateline, ipaddress, attach, threadid)
VALUES
(1, 1, 'Chris', 23, 'Sdfasdf', 'sdfsdaf', 0, 1, '', 1178469421, '141.154.30.233', 0, 28381);

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

I _think_ what I might need to do is create the missing column manually, then uninstall/reinstall, but I'd love to get confirmation before that.. And the proper mysql syntax to do it. :D

If you could take a peek at it Dan I'd mucho appreciate it. :)

[compact123]

thnaks nice mod.

[Dimoks]

two question

1. realy add this string (Now Playing) in signature ?

2. this hack working in vb 3.6.7 ?

thx

[Dan]

It'll add it to the postbit, and yes this hack should still work for all new versions.

[huwer]

Good idea, thank you!

Dear Dan, but no editing, please do editing.

[The Equivocate]

Is it possible for users to update their songs via their UserCP edit profile area too?

[Free-D]

Is it possible to edit Now playing field on post editing?

[lu_micr]

i'm pretty stupid...I can't find the part of the files to edit :/
i'm on a 6.8

[SnakeXs]

Hey, Dan, I'm having a weird issue where users who aren't putting anything in the Now Playing field are having info/bands - songs from elsewhere (not sure where/how) appear in the NP area of their posts when they post. It's happened 3-4 times in the past week.

Any ideas?
