Song of the Day v1

[Winterworks]

I have decided that on my forum, I wanted a small hack, that would play songs on the forum, but instead, decided to make 'Song of the Day'.


Information:

Release V1:

You can play only one song, when it's uploaded to your forum, through FTP.

Release V2 (Coming Soon!):

You'll be able to listen to many different songs, they'll play on their own, and will pick a song randomly.


How to Upload:

Template(s) to Edit - 1
Codes to Add - 1

Template(s) to Edit: FORUMHOME

(Please Note: Everything in RED you must edit to your own needs)


https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/ <-- Upload this photo to 'yoursite/forum/images/misc'.

In your FTP, go to 'yoursite/forum/includes' and add a new directory named 'music'.

Go to AdminCP > Styles and Templates > Your Template > FORUMHOME and search for

<!-- end today's birthdays -->
</if>


Under it, add:

That will add a working radio at the footer of your forum.



How to use it:

Each time you want a new song, you must upload a song into '/music', and edit the link above in the code.

This will only play the one song, until you upload a new one, next version should be edited, and play a assortment of songs.

(Please note that this is my first ever modification, I am still kinda new with vBulletin)

Sorry, forgot to mention..

Only works with IE, and you can view a live demo, by clicking this link (http://forum.cheatchat.org) and scrolling to the bottom.

Edit: Below is a new screenshot..

It would be nice when that go also in Firefox :D

[Winterworks]

I'll try and make v2 or v3 have it with Firefox and IE :)

Please leave comments, and things I should do with v2 guys. :)

[mirageboss]

Nice man! I thank-you for this :)

[codershark]

yes it will also nice when it will work with vbulletin 3.7 :D

[Winterworks]

Thanks guys ;)

If anyone needs support, or has questions, please ask them here.

Just added this to my forum, I don't see a radio anywhere? currently useing vb 3.68
also in the edit on forumhome you have in red http://cheatchat.org/forum I edit cheatchat.org to my forum address. I check in msm and IE.

[Winterworks]

Did you add the full code, and add a song? You must upload it into your FTP also.

[dave9720]

yes I did just edit forum name. uploaded song in music folder

Only edited this on code "http://bestsatellitepros.com/forum/includes/music/05 Everywhere.wma">

[Winterworks]

Rename your song file to 'everywhere.mp3'

Then edit the link.

[dave9720]

Renamed song and edited file. Showing up on forum but doesn't play shows file length at 00.00 in propertys

[waller99]

It appears it must be an .mp3 file. You can't just rename a .wma to .mp3. You need to upload an mp3 file to the music folder.

[Winterworks]

Yes, exactly.

I edited the code a little bit by the way.. Looks vetter now. ;)

[Winterworks]

Please Install ;)

[Winterworks]

Does anyone still use this? If so then I'll edit it for vb 3.7 and 3.8.

[bing11]

yes plz thank you
